Hello,

I am using the LVTI and am experiencing it printing some but not all of the circles off the candle to the right fairly often.

I have it set on both vertical and horizontal to print in the center.

Any ideas on why this would be happening?

Attached are a couple of screengrabs one of the issue and one of the center settings.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Sure, no problem the simplified and singled out chart should be attached here.

Thank you for your assistance.

Upon further observation it seems like what is happening is that occasionally the LVTI is printing a positive delta next to a negative delta and then one or the other prints goes away as price moves and delta is established and then it leaves the offset printed circle.

I'm imagining this is because i have my chart set to 1.25 tick size so that I can kind of compress the data into fewer dots.

I'm not sure on this just my hypothesis. Since I have it set to 1.25 tick size maybe there is room in there to establish two different delta prints? Not sure how that should be possible since one should cancel the other out, in my understanding.

Let me know thoughts on troubleshooting that.

Thank you.

EDIT: As can be seen in the attached image this double printing creates a kind of a confusing mess to look at.

Ok working through this more maybe it was an issue of comparing Based on Total Ask/Bid Above Threshold Diagonal Difference instead of simply the difference?

So perhaps it was creating a kind of footprint looking print based on my Do Not Display Values Less Than setting instead of what I was used to seeing.

I switched and it seems to look more normal now to me. Does that make sense?

While I'm here is it possible to adjust the opacity of the circles? I see Use Transparent Draw Style which i have checked but i don't see a place to adjust transparency a la Volume by Price indicator.

As always, thank you.

Given that you were using an option that could display both Bid and Ask values, what you saw was normal, as the data always prints for the Bid and Ask in the same location, so the Ask would look offset if the Bid information was not there.

It sounds like you have that issue worked out.

With regards to Transparency, if you do not display the numbers in the marker, then when you set Use Transparent Draw Style to Yes then the markers will be transparent, but it is not a controllable amount. It looks like it is set to a 50% transparency value and can not be changed.
