Hello,
I setup the Value Area High and Low Values to be displayed in different colors but they never show on my study (whether or not I extend the Value Area, in that case I am able to have the lines (here in white) and values displayed as labels (here in green) but only in one color).
And if I had the other "Volume Value Area Lines" study, nothing is displayed either...
How can I display those in different colors?
Thanks a lot

We see that your Value Area is being colored, as it is in a gray color in your image. Note that the Value Area of the profile itself is controlled by Subgraph 9 (SG9) named "Value Area and Outline". Refer to the following:
Volume By Price Study: Value Area and Outline (SG9)

You mean the High and Low would not be displayed if the Value Area is colored ?

Sorry, we did not interpret your original question correctly.

But we are not certain what you are referring to in terms of the Value Area High and Low.

Are you referring to the extension lines or something else?

I mean "Value Area High Value" and "Value Area Low Value" which are un subgraphs of the VbP for TPO study.
But what I would like exactly is to display those values and if possible corresponding extension lines in two different colors ; either through those subgraphs or the additional "Volume Value Area Lines" study. But none of those work.

Because you are using the Volume by Price with a TPO, you are not able to do what you want. The actual Value Area High and Value Area Low are not displayed when you are using the VbP with a TPO. What you can do is color the Value Area itself along with the extension lines by modifying subgraph 9, which is the item we had referenced previously. This will change both the High and Low extension lines the same color as you select for the Value Area.

Also, note that when the VbP is fairly compressed, you may not see the inner part of the profiles, but just the outline, so you may want to change both the Fill and Outline color to be the same if you have trouble viewing just the fill color. The better solution is to adjust your "Price Increment in Ticks" on the TPO study to give wider profiles.

Also, since this is a TPO, you can not use the Volume Value Area Lines study. Refer to the following:
