This problem started happening some weeks ago. When you zoom out some letters start dissapearing.

It is easier to see in the video but I will post several images of the same chart zoomed out:

We are not sure why exactly you are having that kind of display occurring.

Do you know if you have OpenGL enabled for your system and if you do, do you know what kind of Graphics Card you have?

You can check whether you are using OpenGL by seeing if Global Settings >> Graphics Settings >> Other >> Use OpenGL for Chart Graphics is checked or not.

Maybe it has to do with the fact I am running SC on MacOS with Parallels?

I have OpenGL disabled, if I enable it, when I restart SC it gets disabled again.

It has 2 graphics cards: AMD Radeon Pro 555x 4GB & Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MB

It definitely could be related to using Parallels. We really do not know and it is not something that we can look into as we do not use MacOS.

This looks like a case of just simply overlapping letters. This is a common issue. The solution is here:

It definitely should. Set this TPO Study Input:
Time Price Opportunity (TPO) Profile Charts: Letter/Block Price Increment in Ticks

To at least 10. Or 5 times higher than what it is set to currently.

Having this setting in 5 or more actually solves the issue, but I need it to be 1 because it messes up my hole anaylsis.

I started having this issue some weeks ago, not before. So probably something to do with Parallels.

Thanks for the help!
