Hey. I have an issue with using large Volume Trade indicator on a Numbers Bars chart. The indicator itself works properly, but the Marker Alignment setting doesn't work properly on a Numbers Bars chart. Setting the Alignment to "Right Candlestick Body" puts the indicator to the right of the numbers bar, not to the right of the candle of the numbers bar. Is it possible for you to fix this? (I attach picture of the Numbers Bar and of the settings showing the issue) Another issue I'm having is with linking charts for vertical scrolling. I have 2 charts, one is Reversal Bar and one is 1 min based chart. I linked them for vertical scrolling, and while it works great most of the time, some times the scale alignment goes off alignment and clicking reset doesn't fix it(it stays off alignment). Usually if I wait couple of minutes and click reset it gets properly aligned. Is there a way to ensure the alignment will work properly having the current price value as the horizontal alignment balance point? or is there a way to fix the alignment when reset doesn't work properly(without needing to wait few minutes)? (I attach a pic showing the two charts and when they are off alignment - reset didn't work in this case) Thanks.

The alignment looks reasonable to us. It is not something we want to change. There needs to be room to handle different circle sizes. Regarding the synchronization of vertical scales, make sure each of those charts are using identical Scale Settings: Chart Scale and Scale Adjusting: Opening the Scale Settings Window for the Main Price Graph In the next release there will be additional variables we are making the same when using vertical scale linking. So after making sure there are identical Scale settings and with the next update there should not be any further problem we would expect.

1. Specifically for Volume Trade indicator on a Numbers Bars chart, don't you think that "Right Candlestick Body" alignment make more sense if it's on the right of the candlestick body instead of on the right of the "bid x ask" column? It's the best placement to handle different circle sizes on such chart, you'll quickly see that if you try the different alignment options on a Numbers Bars chart. 2. I'm having an issue with the "Market Depth Historical Graph" indicator... "Extend Last Known Depth" is set to "No", yet if I close my SC after a trading session, the next time I open SC it appears like the last known depth has been extended. See the picture, the lines around 2780 and below are from the last trading session(the last orders just before I closed SC) and should not have been extended(the orders aren't there anymore, so it's just been extended from the last session before I closed SC). Any idea on how to solve this?

1. The terms "Right Candlestick Body" and "Left Candlestick Body" are in reference to a chart bar type of Candlestick, not to the candlestick that is drawn in the Numbers Bars study. Therefore, these are simply pushing the alignment further to the Right and Left than the standard "Right" and "Left" options. We keep track of requests, and understand your desire to have a different alignment option for when you are using the Numbers Bars study. Just keep in mind that we cannot give any time frame for when or if this change will occur. 2. This is the standard functioning of the Market Depth Historical Graph. The option for "Extend Last Known Depth" does not impact bars where the Market Depth has not been recorded. It is to extend depths at the top or bottom of bars where the depth has been deleted, therefore where depth is recorded.

Is there a way to change this behavior of the Market Depth Historical Graph indicator? It skew all of my market depth graph with orders that weren't there just because Market Depth hasn't been recorded overnight. I simply want the Market Depth Historical Graph to show orders that were recorded when SC was open, and that's it. If SC was closed(or didn't record), don't show any orders for that time period. I don't want the orders that were there the last time SC was open to be extended all the way to the current time when I open SC again, as in the vast majority of the cases the orders weren't there for long.

Bumping this. Is it possible to do the above(post #5)? Basically having SC showing market depth for times it was recorded, and not showing market depth for times it wasn't recorded - without having SC automatically filling the gap which seems to be the default SC behavior. Thanks.
