When I add a second footprint column, my candlestick overlay changes position from the center of column 1 to between column 1 and 2. Is there a way to keep the candlestick inside column 1? (I want to use the candlestick overlay study rather than the "Open and Close Marker Style" settings function.(see attached)

There is not a way to get what you are wanting. When you use the "Study/Price Overlay" it puts the candle in the middle of the Numbers Bars data. Therefore, when you have 2 columns, it will show up between columns 1 and 2.

Thank you John. Ok, so if I use the "Open and Close Marker Style" setting in the Numbers Bar settings, is there a way to narrow down the size of the candlestick body so that it fits between the Bid and Ask columns rather than under them (the candles now are so wide the background color displays under the Bid and Ask)? Thx again

Hi Yes, I tried changing that variable too, but the lowest value of "1" still spreads the body/background of the candle across both Bid/Ask values of column 1 unfortunately instead of containing the body between those two values of the footprint. Suggestions?

Sorry, we did not fully understand the question. There is not a way to change how the body is displayed. What you are seeing it how it is drawn. For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing
