Hello, I'm seeing an issue with the volume by price indicator where the bar would be extremely skewed (very long width wise) and then jump back down to regular size once more volume hits into it. See the screenshot and the chartbook.

In the chartbook, if you replay to 10:13 central time today (12/20/2019) you can see it in action.

There is nothing wrong with the display of the VbP. What you are seeing is due to having the Volume Bar Calculation Method set to Diagonal Ask Volume - Bid Volume, and then having the Bid Volume and Ask Volume Coloring Method set to Difference of Bid and Ask Volume Coloring.

This means that there is a large difference between Bid and Ask at that price level, but this is not necessarily true of the Diagonal Calculation. Just change the Bid Volume and Ask Volume Coloring Method to something that reflects what you are looking for. Refer to the following:
