Post From: BID/ASK volume profile not correct

The reason for the disparities is because you are using a "Bid Volume and Ask Volume Coloring Method" of "Dominant Bid or Ask Volume Coloring". This Input not only colors the bar, but also sets the length of the bar based on the setting.

We have attached two images with a particular level circled. The image named "DominantSideBidAsk" shows values of 74 on the bid (left) and 146 on the Ask (right) with the "Bid Volume and Ask Volume Coloring Method" set to "Dominant Bid or Ask Volume Coloring". The bar length is about the same in this case between the 74 and the 146, as it is displaying the dominant side value of 146.

But in the image named "None" with the "Bid Volume and Ask Volume Coloring Method" set to "None" the length of the 74 bar is much shorter, as it is only displaying the Bid value of 74.
