Numbers bars leaving gaps on empty price levels

Hello!

Is it possible to display empty price levels on the numbers bars? Currently it just leaves a gap and doesn't show anything at all if there are no trades made at that price.

Volume filter settings "Exclude <=" and "Exclude >=" are set to 0 and "Filter Trade Completely" to No

I'm using 8 tick range bars on the ES.

What would you want there to be at those levels?
For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service:

It would be easier on the eyes to read the numbers bars if they were continuous just like normal candlesticks, instead of looking at chopped up bars it should show 0 on the bid and ask with a perhaps a neutral color.

Can't really find any settings for this, perhaps this could be added on the next product release?

Appreciate any response.

A workaround to this problem is to use the study Highest High / Lowest Low over N bars
Set the length to 1 bar and the subgraphs to Fill rectangle Top / Bottom, then you'll have a background color for your bars.
