Volume by Price scaling question

I use a volume by price study which is reset at the start of each trading session with a maximum width of 10% of the chart. As the profile builds during the early part of the session, the profile is too narrow to be readable. Is there a way to scale the VbP study so that the maximum volume level is always at a predetermined width, regardless of how little volume has traded up to that point?

Set it to be Right Aligned and Aligned to Far Right: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_VolumeByPrice.php#Settings What is the Volume Graph Period Type Input with the Volume by Price study set to? And we assume you have it set to be 10% of the Chart Window width. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.

I had the VbP Right Aligned, but not 'Aligned to Far Right'- not sure why this makes a difference, though. Volume Graph Period Type is "From Session Start Time to End", with a chart session setting of 09:30:00 to 09:29:59. |

Aligned to Far Right does not matter. We had mentioned that because we just wanted to make certain that the profile was on the right side and fully visible. But thinking about it, it does not matter. We have tested "From Session Start Time to End" and the Volume Profile is consistently 50% of the Window Width when we set the Maximum Volume Bar Width Type to Window Width and Maximum Volume Bar Width Percentage set to 50. Here is a chart image: http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?l=14383979737.png Using these settings, do you still see a problem?

Ahhh....I had the 'Maximum Volume Bar Width Type' set to 'Period Length', instead of 'Window Width'. I think that's probably it. I'll see how it works when the market opens Monday. Thanks for your help.
