I just have a couple of questions for the VbP with TPO

1.) I want to use the hologram visual method, but how do I highlight the POC with the hologram?
2.) How do I make the VbP overlap the TPO chart into one?

oh ok. Also I changed the "Trade drawing left align %" to 25%, but is there any way I can get the price lines from my buy/sell stops and limits orders to appear?

The lines of the orders only display from the order line to the right of the chart. Since your orders are now right-aligned on the chart, there is no line to be drawn.

The simplest solution is to left-align the order/position lines so you can see that line that is drawn. Refer to the following and the setting below it:
Chart Settings: Align Trade Drawings Text to Right (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Trading menu)

--

Another option to draw a line across the screen for the Position, is to add the "Trading: Position Average Price" study and set it to be hidden, then also add a "Study Subgraph Reference" study and set it to be displayed in Region 1 and set the Draw Style of the subgraph for this to be "Line at Last Bar Left to Right" and set the color and thickness as you want. Also set the Input for "Draw Zeros" to "No" (this is why you need the Study Subgraph Reference). Refer to the following:
Trading Information Windows: Trade Data Studies

Study Subgraph Reference

Chart Studies: Line From End of Chart Left to Right (ACSIL: DRAWSTYLE_LINE_FROM_END_OF_CHART_LEFT_TO_RIGHT)

Note that this line will not change colors as the position line does. If you want to make this happen, then you would need to add a "Color Bar Based on Alert Condition" study that colors the line as you want.

--

The information for the working orders is not available directly in the system, so there is not a way to display a line across the chart like the Position line. The only way to do this would be through a Custom Study. Refer to the following:

With the numbers bar chart, as its forming how do I get the screen to follow the candle forming? For example, if the bar is moving high, it will move off screen and I have to drag to keep up with it forming
