This is not functionality issue but purely esthetic one !
All columns in TradeDOM having some "Volume Bars" exceeding out of grid cells (talking about thickness of a bar) at certain price levels; some bars at some level fit perfect)
If it is worth your attention let me know am I missing some settings; otherwise all good

Thank you

ver. 2915
grid thickness set to 2

Hopefully you will see it now
Check out any column that has "Volume Bars" and observe how Volume Bar body is thicker than cell in some price levels meaning grid is not able to "encapsule" Volume Bar
Volume Bar is "leaking out" of grid cell at some price levels

Allow me to point out that issue:

Take a look at: price level 30590.00 for instance:

Cur(A-B)Vol<> with number "-61"
CurTrBVol with number "390"
CurTrAVol with number "270"

Many other rows at diff. price levels having the same misalignment !
As I said it is visual esthetics only

Thank you

We have had several notices of this recently, and there was some work on the DOM. Note the new setting in particular.

Please get us an image of what you are seeing with that data more visible and please point out the specific area where you are seeing this.

When I set
"Chart DOM Volume Bars Fill Combined Price Level"
to: "Yes"
I got PERFECT alignment on all columns !!!

As I stated...WIZARDS of SIERRA CHART
Thank you so much; didn't want to let you know how much that was bothering me

Chart DOM volume/quantity bars have no consideration of the grid thickness. This is not something that we would be working on anytime soon.

Please let's get focused a bit on what's going on over here
You responding to this post on my post about pulling/stacking volume bars

No.1
I stated in that post problem of misaligned volume bars and borders of cells where vol. bars are

No.2
Mr. John then asked me to send image of that
I did it by referring to this thread
Then on pulling/stacking post I added that that issue has been handled by me increasing thickness of Trading DOM

No.3
Of course that thickness has nothing to do with misaligned vol. bars; I just wanted to let Mr. John know that I solved my personal visual bothering with issue

No.4
Conclusion: SIERRA CHART still have issue with misaligned vol. bars but I do not care because thick grid is covering misalignment

Hopefully this will cover
Also, when I state that SIERRA CHART is having an issue then SC is having an issue
Will you have time to work on it or not it's up to you
As long as you are perfect 👌 we good
