Volume by Price Long Bars

Hello,

I added "Volume by Price" studies however I have very long bars at a lot of the whole dollar values since there is high volume there but it is a bit distracting. How can I ease out these very long bars so that it looks cleaner more like the second picture in attachment?

I've tried to change the "Ticks Per Volume Bar" but then I just get bigger very long bars and I've also put down the "Maximum Volume Bar Width Percentage" but these long bars are still very long relative to all the others.

Thanks!

Same issue as User504586, long lines just appear when I use the Hologram draw method.

The Volume by Price study is showing the data as it is. This is not a bug.

So there must be large trading volume at those prices. In which case, there is not a way to adjust those bars so they are not as long. They are drawn such that all the bars show the relative values to one another.

The only thing you could do is to filter the entire chart to remove large trades. Refer to the following:
Chart Settings: Volume Filter (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Data Limiting >> Volume Filter Settings menu)
