Hi,

I'm trying to use the Volume By Price (VBP) study on my ETHUSDT 1-minute chart, but I'm unable to get the separate Bid/Ask volume coloring to work. The profile only shows gray/white lines, no green/red distinction.

Here are my settings:


-  Draw Mode : Set to  Volume Profiles & POC, VAH, VAL, VWAP Lines 

-  Volume Graph Period Type : Set to  Visible Bars 

-  Bid Volume and Ask Volume Coloring Method : Set to  Separate Bid/Ask Volume Coloring 

-  Display Volume in Bars : Set to  Total Volume (Price) 

-  Transparency Level : Set to  0 

-  Volume Bars Outline and Fill Colors  (Subgraphs): Set to  Ignore  to turn off outlines

I've also tried:


- Deleting and re-downloading chart data

- Reloading the chart with  Ctrl+R 

- Checking that my data feed is working correctly (real-time data updates fine)

Despite these settings, the color coding for bid/ask volume is not appearing. Could you please advise what might be missing or incorrect in my setup? I'm using the latest version of Sierra Chart with Binance perpetual data feed.

Thank you for your help!

It sounds like your data is too dense, so you are not seeing the individual bar coloring.

The solution is to set the "Ticks per Volume Bar" to something larger so you can see the individual bars properly. Refer to the following:
