Background: A few days I added a VbP and changed the subgraph settings to display the value area lines as grey within the subgraph settings. It worked as expected. I have since deleted that study due to hassles with some other settings. Issue: now if I apply a new VbP study, the value area lines do not display according to the subgraph settings. They do not respond to any change in subgraph settings. They are visible and grey in colour when extended to the end of period. Yet subgraph settings are lime green, visible... default settings. Changes in color, thickness etc do not work. POC and all other VbP study lines behave as expected when manipulated within the input settings and subgraph settings.

Thank you for your supportr. Naturally, I am very aware of the documentation and am beyond that stage of self-help. The original problem remains and it relates to a VbP study for which I set the value area line color to grey, then later deleted the study. Extended value area lines are visible, but do not respond to their subgraph settings: color, style, labels. They are not even the same color as set in the subgraph. However, if I use Overlay Study/Price to import another VbP study, then the imported value area lines appear as per their subgraph settings, but only after import, not in their originating chart. |

We apologize, we thought the documentation explained what Subgraph to use to change the color and other properties. It is now updated.

Again, thank you. But that does not address the issue I am having. Subgraphs: Value Area High/Low (SG3/4): Color = Green. Yet actual color on chart = Grey. Settings and Inputs: Extend Value Area = End of Period. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2019-05-09 03:14:51

Screenshots. Note grey value area lines on chart and pink POC line v.s. respective subgraph settings. POC displays as expected. Value Area H/L lines do not. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2019-05-09 03:15:22

You are correct, I apologize for not testing post #4 thoroughly enough. But I swear that those lines used to be green by default. Something does not add up. For example: 1. I assure you that previously, I could stipulate and display separate Name Labels for both the Value Area High and Value Area Low lines. If the only way to control those two lines is via the single subgraph = SG9, Value Area and Outline, then how did I formerly have different labels for the high and the low lines on display? 2. See attached image. Those two green lines come from another chart's VbP study via the Study/Price Overlay study. They are green, and the SG3 and SG4 settings as seen in the in the importing chart's dialog are set to green, see image. Those green lines are for the objects called "Value Area High Value SG3" (and corresponding Low Value.) Also, if I change the Value Area High Value SG3 color, label, thickness etc in the originating chart subgraph settings, then they change accordingly on the importing chart. EDIT: I updated with a better image. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2019-05-09 04:16:46

1. This is because you had the Draw Mode Input set to display those lines as standard Subgraphs.

wow, that simple, my error it seems. Bang, fixed. Just like that after hours on my side. I never remembered to click into draw mode as it already offered what I thought I wanted: Volume Profile. I then moved on to control line display via "Extend xyz" input settings. On the flipside, there does seem to be a case for easy user confusion between two settings that do roughly the same thing but differently. Aka, draw mode setting v.s. the various extend lines settings. |

May I ask for some additional help? If: - VbP set to fixed "From Start Date-Time to End Date-Time" and Draw Mode includes VAH and VAL. - Subgraph 3 and 4 (VAH and VAL): drawStyle for both = "Line Extend to Edge" And nameLabel = "Right Edge" Then: -> The VAH and VAL (SG3 and SG4) lines draw to the end of the defined period. -> The labels are printed at the edge of the window. How do I get both to be in the same position: both end of period. Or both at right edge of window? It is the later which I am trying to create. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2019-05-14 04:40:33

Apologies in advance for basic question. How do I get the value area and VPOC lines on my VbP study to stop connecting to each period. I'm using Multiple Profiles Based on Bar Count and have my subgraphs to stair step and I turned off calculating developing POC and turned off extend features on both, but I can't get them to just stop where they are instead of leap up or down to the next period's lines. https://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1671293429466.png |

Change the Draw Style to Dash. Refer to the following: Chart Studies: Dash (ACSIL: DRAWSTYLE_DASH) For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
