Having a hard time getting this set the way i want it.

What i want it to do.

1. I want to set a defined start time and let the calculation start and continue to the current point in time.

2. If i am on a 30m chart and then switch it to a 5 minute chart i do not want the profile to change.

3. If i zoom in on the price bars or zoom out i do not want the profile to change at all.

4. Right aligned with the margin locked.

I basically want it to look like the attached picture but want it to be a composite of the total volume and not change.

--- this pic taken from the manual.


I read through the manual on it, but i am not getting it set the way i want to.

Any thoughts?

The problem is you have the Volume Graph Period Type Input set to Visible Bars.

You need to set this to what you require. The choices are documented here:

How would i go about keeping the visual scale of the VP exactly like this. ( chart 1). This is a composite chart....


While expanding the bar size to this ( Chart 2 )


Settings.... ( Chart 3-5)




Basically i want the scale of the VP to be locked and never adjust when i change the scale of the price bars.

I have tried a bunch of different study scale settings but cannot figure it out. Makes sense that you just click independant scaling, but this removes the VP all together........

We will see about adding an option to the Volume by Price study to support what is described in post #4.
