Can I check if I have something like Ticks Per Volume Bar of 2 and Tick size of 1. Should the newly changed settings be 8 and 0.25 (ie product should be 2, this seems to yield similar volume profiles)
This will give the same results. Chart Settings: Volume at Price Multiplier for Historical/Intraday Chart (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Chart Data >> Volume at Price menu) seems buggy. If you increase it, the Tick per Volume Bar increases for each volume-related study but decreasing it does not decrease for each volume-related study it
This is correct functioning. The volume studies need to be set to an even multiple of the "Volume at Price Multiplier". Therefore, if you increase this larger than what is set for a study (such as the "Ticks per Volume Bar" for the Volume by Price study) then the study will change to that new value. But if you decrease it smaller than what is set for the study, then the study will stay the same, or change to as close as it can to the currently set value to keep an even multiple.
