I have read multiple similar posts but cannot get my volume profiles on my TPO chart to look right. I am trying to make the width of each volume profile significantly wider So far I have tried volume by price study volume graph period: Based on TPO chart Maximum Volume Bar Width Type: Window width / Period length / automatic (I have tried all 3 settings) Maximum Volume Bar Width: I have tried small to large numbers 30,70,100,200 but neither value changes anything I have also tried setting the independent volume profile for tpo chart to YES but this pins the volume profile to the right side bar Goal: I am trying to achieve wider volume profiles similar to this picture from another post: https://www.sierrachart.com/Download.php?Folder=SupportBoard&download=115360

The width of the Volume Profile when used with a TPO chart is automatically set by the program and not user-controlled. The only option for making the size wider is to change the bar spacing to make both the TPO and Volume profiles larger.

The concept is the same regardless of whether you are displaying bars or a TPO profile. Refer to the following: Working With Charts: Changing Bar Spacing For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing

Our apologies. As User431178 points out, the proper method is the option for "Percent Width for Volume Profile". We forgot about this option in the TPO profile Inputs.
