Hello,

My purpose is to make changes in market activity more visible. If volume/activity increases significantly compared with normal session activity, the footprint should visually show that expansion.

Please consider adding more scaling options for Numbers Bars volume profile bars.

The current option “Volume Profile Bars Length Relative to All Visible Bars” is useful, but it applies globally to all columns of each bar. It would be helpful if this could be controlled separately for each Numbers Bars column.


Another useful option would be to scale the volume profile bar length relative to the session average or session median volume, instead of only relative to all visible bars.

Suggested formula:

RelativeVolume = CurrentVolumeAtPrice / SessionMedianVolumeAtPrice

DisplayLengthPercent = min(100, RelativeVolume / UserDefinedMaxRelativeVolume * 100)

This would help identify unusually high activity, absorption, and changes in market participation directly from the Numbers Bars display.
