Hi
Can't get to setup a footprint chart (numbers bars)
I've replicated the exact settings of a another user's working chart, but get this:

You just need to change this Chart Setting back to 1:
Chart Settings: Volume at Price Multiplier for Historical/Intraday Chart (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Chart Data >> Volume at Price menu)

thanks
Another couple of quick ones:
1) numbers bar chart settings offers a volume filter, but this is total volume... I'd like to apply a filter on both bid/ask volumes separately, i.e., for example, filter if ASK vol > XX OR BID vol > XX. Further, I'd like to colour only the side being beyond the threshold, i.e if ASK > XX but not BID, only paint the ASK side of the bar. Is this possible somehow?

2) I found an old tutorial where volume bars could be graphed on the ASK and BID columns in a DOM.. this was under global settings --> chart trade settings.. that option no longer there. Has this option been placed elsewhere or no longer exists?

thanks

1. This is not supported. As you have seen, there is only the one Input for both Bid and Ask. Just for completeness, the documentation for this is here:
Numbers Bars: Bid/Ask Volume Text Threshold

2. Yes, this was moved to the Customize Chart/Trade DOM Columns. You will find the documentation here:
Global Trade Settings Windows: Show Volume Bars (Trade >> Customize Chart/Trade DOM Columns)

The text threshold works fine.
But I'am referring to the chart settings--> Adv settings 2 --> volume filter

I set a filter for GBL, it works fine
I changed symbol to DAX...changed this filter value, and it's not working anymore.
See this attachment please... on the number bar chart you can see volume lower and higher than the filter 29 I'm setting for the filtered chart, however, it's not taking it.
Any thoughts?

Can you please help me understand this?
I have, as example a (bid x ask) of (410 x 75) in the numbers bar at a price
I got a second chart, same numbers bar, but filtered for vol <=349
The same bar, at same price is showing 408 x 0.

I would have thought the filter only removes from the display what's beneath the threshold set.
So, in this case, total vol bid + ask > 390, so it gets displayed.
But I don't understand how you go from unfiltered 410 x 75 to 408 x 0 when filtered

appreciate help
cheers

The filtering applies to the individual trades.
