When you use Volume Profiles & POC, VAH, VAL, VWAP Lines you can select Name and Value Labels for POC, VAH, VAL and these labels will be displayed on the right side. When you switch to Volume profiles all labels disappear. Is this intended?

It's also strange when you use the Highlight POC option that a small part of the POC line at the peak is thicker than the rest of the line. When you scale in vertically the line at the peak starts to have the same thickness as the rest of the line. It seems the peak of the line does not scale correctly when you scale out.

You can see this optical "glitch" on many profiles

Yes this is intended. This highlights the difference in these two settings. One is for when you just want the Volume Profiles and the other is for when you want the profiles along with those lines.

We have not seen this before. If you have a configuration that shows this, then please get us that chart by following these instructions:

The point of control line thickness issue you see is completely normal. It has to do with the point of control volume bar being overdrawn by other volume bars covering the highlighting but not at the end because there are no volume bars covering it at the end.

The solution and this case is to increase the Ticks per Volume Bar Input. To a higher number.
