Hello, I am using Numbers Bars on an ES footprint chart. Symbol: ESU26-CME[M] Chart type: 2.50 Range Study: Numbers Bars Column 2 Background Type: Ask Bid Difference Profile The profile looks correct when I zoom in horizontally. For example, at 2026-08-12 05:27:38, the Column 2 Ask Bid Difference Profile displays correctly inside/near the bar, and I can read the bid/ask numbers and the red/green profile. But when I zoom out horizontally, the red part of the Column 2 Ask Bid Difference Profile stretches far to the right and looks like a thick red horizontal line across later bars. It covers the chart and makes the footprint hard to read. This is not coming from: - Volume at Price Threshold Alert - Highlight Nonzero Bid&Ask Volume at High/Low I have already checked: Highlight Nonzero Bid&Ask Volume at High/Low = No Columns Question: Is there a Numbers Bars setting that keeps the Column 2 Ask Bid Difference Profile clipped inside each chart bar/Numbers Bar column when horizontal spacing is reduced? Or is this expected behavior when using Ask Bid Difference Profile and the only solution is to increase horizontal spacing, change Column 2 Background Type, or disable the profile when zoomed out? I want to keep Column 2 as Ask Bid Difference Profile, but I do not want the profile background to draw across later bars when I zoom out. Should I adjust: - Volume Profile Bars Length Relative to All Visible Bars - Spacing Adjustment Value - Column 2 Background Type - another setting? I attached two screenshots: 1. 05:27:38 zoomed in: correct display 2. zoomed out: red profile becomes a long horizontal red band https://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1786539721291.png https://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1786539896349.png |
