Is there a draw style similar to the "Left Price Bar Dash", but with just a simple bar. I've looked and there are other similar ones, but couldn't find it.

Right now I use 2 bars with different widths that overlap each other. Would be nice to have them side by side on a single price bar. Is this possible?

Can it be coded, or can you add it to draw styles, please?

Thank you.

There is a way to get close, but not perfect. Use the "Left Offset Box Bottom for Candlestick" and the "Right Offset Box Bottom for Candlestick" to get two bars next to each other related to the same time in the chart. The bars will be hollow though. Refer to the following:
Chart Studies: Left Offset Box Top for Candlestick (ACSIL: DRAWSTYLE_LEFT_OFFSET_BOX_TOP_FOR_CANDLESTICK) and Left Offset Box Bottom for Candlestick (ACSIL: DRAWSTYLE_LEFT_OFFSET_BOX_BOTTOM_FOR_CANDLESTICK)

We do not understand this. We need a drawing from you to show what you are looking for:

Before I was using bid volume vs ask volume study and made one wider than the other, like in bid-ask overlay image.
Someone created the study for me, which splits the bar in 2 and prints bid/ask volume side by side within the same candle bar, second image.

Question for the people asking for this feature.
Is this applicable to just showing ask/bid in different ways, or are there other usages/applications for Split Bars?

Assuming Ask and Bid, you could have various representations like below:


AB AB AB __ stacked bars horizontal
--------- zero line

A A A +
-------- zero line
B B B -

B B B __ stacked bars vert
A A A
-------- zero line

B A B B A __ dominate on top (or bottom)
A B A A B
-------------- zero line

Maybe an image would be easier to visualize than my ascii art.

Follow-on question for the Ask/Bid usage...why not just look at Delta and have one bar?
