Hello -- rookie question, I have a volume bar Sierra intra-day chart I got from my friend...it works fine intraday, but doesn't seem to work right when I change to daily or weekly. Is there a simple way to convert the chart from what it is currently, intrad-day to longer TF (daily, weekly, and monthly)?

Also, how do I change the fonts to show/highlight the dominant diagonal side?

Thank you!

Refer to the following information for why Volumes on historical Daily and higher timeframes are not accurate:
Volume By Price Study: How Volume by Price is Calculated for Historical Daily and Higher Timeframe Charts

Also, how do I change the fonts to show/highlight the dominant diagonal side

What study are you using for which you want to do this? The Numbers Bars gives the best options for coloring the dominant side (including Diagonal options). There are not any font changing options for noting the dominant side.

Thank you for your reply. That was helpful.

For the other question, I'm using volume bars study. Please see attached screenshot -- I was looking to see if I can change the fonts to reflect the dominant side diagonally.

That is the Numbers Bars study. Refer to the following for the Text Coloring Options:
Numbers Bars: Numbers Bars Text Coloring Methods

You would probably want to use the Text Coloring Based on Diagonal Dominant Side AskVol BidVol Percentage.

Also be aware of the following Input that could be helpful:
