I'm using a TPO chart with Volume Profile chart. However, because one volume bar is so much larger than all the rest, it causes all the other volume bars to be barely visible. I have read various possible work arounds in support, but I am wondering which combination of strategies would be best so that I can still be able to see how much larger the largest volume bar is to all the others, as well as see a well defined volume profile throughout? (Large Volume Trade Indicator, Volume filtering, etc?). Date Time Of Last Edit: 2024-06-22 17:43:47

Couple things to verify: 1, are you trading stocks? 2, that issue only happens with VbP, not TPO, righ?

this is a complicated topic, I had a few discussions with other users, in This Thread, you will find a brief discussion, and in post #3, you will find links to 2 other threads that had more detailed discussions.

Thank you. I think the only solution is the "sc.SetChartStudyInputInt()", however this is getting beyond my expertise. Is there anyway someone could package the code from the thread into this function so I can import it into SC as a custom study? Thx

It would be a challenge for me, if you could post more details about your chart book, i.e. how many VbPs etc. it would definitely much easier for other coders to get it done.

Here is a screen shot of my VbP settings though I am not wedded to any of them necessarily. ALso, question about data. Am I correct in saying that if I am trading Nasdaq stocks I only need the US Equities Consolidated tape with market depth (MBO) data files for each symbol I trade and not the files with extension "NQTV" (Nasdaq Total View) ? I am under the impression that the US Equities Consolidated tape with market depth (MBO) data files include everything that Nasdaq Total View data files do - correct? Or do I have to run both types of files at the same time? Also, do all data files of all symbols loaded into SC also load into RAM memory when SC is running, even when you are not actively using a symbol in a chart?

If I can add a question to the ones above? In the "Numbers bars Calucalted Values" study I cannot find a "change in total volume percent" option. Am I missing this option or does it not exist? Tx
