I have a footprint chart in Sierra Chart that has candles overlayed onto numbers bar (see screenshot), but the candles overlapped with both column 1 (total volume in profile shape) and column 2 (ask vol/bid vol difference, i.e., delta). This reduce visibility of the candles. I wanted to have them in such a way that column 1 and column 2 information (or graphics) do not touch the candles. I tried to change the Numbers Separator Character (Ln 82) to "Four Spaces", but it did not work. I would appreciate it if you could give me some help on this.

When you use the "Study/Price Overlay" to overlay the bars back onto a Numbers Bars study, the bars are placed in the center of the space that is used to display the Numbers Bars. When you use a single column, this would put the bar in the center of that column. With two columns, it would be the bar between the two columns (but you have to be careful about what is displayed and where) and with three columns the bar will be placed in the middle of Column 2. It looks like you are using 3 columns and you have a profile for Column 2, so the candle will overlay the center of that column. One of the things you can do is to decrease the size of the candlestick for the underlying data for that chart. You do this by changing the chart specific graphics settings and modify the "Candlestick Width Percentage". Refer to the following: Graphics Settings: Using Different Color and Graphics Settings for Specific Charts Graphics Settings: Candlestick Width % (Global Settings >> Graphics Settings >> Other) In the end, you will have to work with what is available to find a setup that works best for you. You may need to change which column is displaying particular data.
