I have messed with every setting something is off. As you can see to the right my RTH profile is able to color value from non value in purple and white clearly. I am doing a second profile for the eth session and am unable to duplicate the coloring. As per my screen shot on the volume bars outline and fill color the bars color is blue but nothing is happening. Profile remains white and grey despite the blue color indication. Please help this is driving me nuts.

The particular subgraphs you need to change depends on a few different settings for the Volume by Price profile. First, if you have the following set to something other than "None" then you will need to change the colors for "Bid Volume Ask Volume Colors (SG6)". Volume By Price Study: Bid Volume and Ask Volume Coloring Method Then, if you have the following set to "Yes", then you would need to change the colors for "Value Area and Outline (SG9)". This will also have a dependency on the Bid/Ask Volume Coloring. Volume By Price Study: Highlight Value Area If you have the following set to "Yes" and you want to change the evening session profile, then you would need to change the colors for "Evening Session Volume Bars Ourline and Fill Color (SG11)": Volume By Price Study: Use Separate Profile for Evening Session And finally, if you just have the profile bars without any of the above, then you need to adjust the colors for "Volume Bars Outline and Fill Colors (SG8)".

Okay thank you that did fix the issue, another issue I am having with profiles is creating a trailing prior day profile. I followed the instructions you guys have listed on this and the only problem I am seeing is the profile isnt stopping at the specified end time which I have set to 15:00:00 hours I took a screen shot, I am not sure if this is just a visual hiccup or if something else needs to be adjusted. Thanks

Its now resetting itself into the eth profile and not saying on Fridays price range. Not sure what else to do here. Followed your guys instructions verbatim.

What is your "Volume Graph Period Type" set to?

I believe the session times per the chart settings were off, once I fixed those it appeared to align correctly but wont know for sure till tomorrow. I am trying to build a higher time frame chart with one right sided profile for 90 days. I have the correct # of days on this chart but as you can see theres no volume filling in below past 6770. I followed the instructions you guys list for 20 days and just increased the # of days. I remember this problem in the past but cannot recall the solution as it was 2 years ago. Thanks |

Never mind I just need to change to continuous futures contract volume based rollover.
