It seems to be sometimes triggered when I use Study Overlay to import a vwap study onto this chart. It doesn't happen every time I perform that action, which I do often. In fact, it is not that consistent. I wish it didn't happen at all.

Thank you. But I do not understand how display order of studies can cause the chart's original candles to be intermittently drawn on top of the numbers bars when I overlay a vwap from another chart. Pr the attached image. Not always, just sometimes.

Thanks Ackin. Already tried that. But will try again next time it happens.

By chance, something very dramatic just happened. This is new. Please see attached.

Working on chart #12, adding 2 new vwaps. When I clicked ok, this is what happened to Chart  #4 and #19

Chart #4 imports some vwaps from #12. But I was not working on those specific vwaps. I was adding new ones. I did so by duplicating an existing vwaps study and modifying the settings.

Chart #19 imports some vwap studies from #4.

#4 is a candle bar chart. If I set Graph Draw Type to blank like Ackin suggested, then the original bars vanish. The mess on top does not. Those forms in #4 have no relationship to anything I am doing in my charts except they use the same up/down colors.

The only thing I can suggest is that I am using Study Overlay to import several vwaps between charts, and that this is causing a problem. It is a relatively new habit of mine.

Think I found the cause:

1. Chart #12 has vwap1.

2. Chart #4 and chart #19 both import vwap1 using Study Overlay.

3. If I remove vwap1 from #12, then the bars appears per the images.

4. If I hide or remove the Study Overlay (that imports vwap1) on chart #12 and #19, then the bars vanish.

Basically: removing a vwap Study that is the input to a Study Overlay.

you can use VWAP from user-contributed-studies (ECIVWAP)
