Hi dear Sierra Chart team,

have an issue with the scaling of the displayed volume profile within number bar candles which ideally should be automatic based on a changing tick size value.

For example if I have an AAPL chart and the number bars have rows of $0.25 and the trading range for the past 30 candles has been $5, then I have 20 rows displayed, but if volatility goes up and the trading range changes to $10, then I have 40 rows displayed. So basically I always have to change the row height depending on the volatility of the stock. Was looking for a solution where no matter the volatility always 30 rows are displayed and the row height will be automatically adjusted depending what the volatility is.

Cheers and thanks in advance!

There is no automated method for this.

Refer to the following setting which can be used to aggregate levels together:
Chart Settings: Volume at Price Multiplier for Historical/Intraday Chart (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Chart Data >> Volume at Price menu)
