Why are two volume numbers showing on the bottom-right corner of the region?

There seems to be a static number that always shows on the bottom-right corner of the region I'm displaying volume in, in addition to the actual volume of the current candle which is also displayed in that bottom-right corner and at the top-left corner. Screenshot attached.

Can I get rid of whatever that static number is? I can't see the actual volume number for the current candle unless/until it gets above that static volume number.

Thank you,

Those are either Stationary drawings or they are Value Labels from a study. We can not tell which, although the Value Label is most likely. You would need to look at the drawings and/or the studies to determine where they are coming from. Refer to the following for each of these:

It is coming from the "Volume" study Value label. Apparently it is showing the bottom value that I have visible in the scale range - if I select Interactive Scale Move and drag the scale range, that number changes to whatever is the lowest number visible in the scale.

Is it possible to modify this study for myself so that it does not show that bottom value that's visible in the scale range? I only want to see the current bar's volume value there.

Thank you,

This really does not make any sense. The "Volume" study only has a single subgraph, so there is only one value label that would show up. There must be another study in that same region that is set to display that other value.

If you can not figure it out, then please get us your chart by following the instructions at the following link and we'll take a look:

Chart attached. No other studies are set to Region #2 where I have the Volume study region. And hiding the Volume study hides both numbers.

You have the "Draw Style" for the Volume Subgraph set to "Transparent Bar Bottom". This is why you are seeing the two values, as this is a special draw style that is meant to be used to color the region between subgraphs. It is not meant to be used alone.

It is best to change this Draw Style to "Bar". There is not a "Transparent Bar" draw style, so there is not a way to get this transparent, if that is the main goal of that selection for the style. And if it is, then having the two boxes would be a tradeoff.
