I am working with the VBP using
"Volume Bar Calculation Method" as "Diagonal - Ask Volume - Bid Volume"

The histogram uses some blue bars, the meaning of which escapes me. In an effort to figure it out, I tried to toggle all the blue Subgraphs to determine what the blue bars might represent. to no avail.

I can see the bid/green and ask/red bars. May I ask what the blue bars in the histogram represent? (See enclosed)

There are 3 items that make up a bar in the Volume by Price study.

First is the blue bar that you see that is defined by the Input for Volume Bar Calculation Method. Refer to the following:

The other two items are the Bid and the Ask information as defined by Input for Bid Volume Ask Volume Coloring Method. Refer to the following:
