Hello, it looks like my volume profile drawing tool settings reset after the last update. I cant seem to figure out how to extend the lines so they are visible further than the end of the drawn period. Where can I change that?

Refer to the information here for how to set the configuration for a Drawn Volume Profile:

Make sure you set up a Study Collection as documented.

There is so much information on there to go through. With so many options. You can't just explain how to simply extend the volume profile past the drawn period so it is actually visible? I'm sure it is just one simple setting I am missing but going through all this information is very tedious.

I can't even seem to find the answer. For example if I try to "DVP" a single bar, the volume profile doesn't extend further than that single bar. I want to be able to see the volume, but it is impossible to see it if it only extends until the end of the bar. All of the other options as in "Until future intersection" and "Extend to both window edges" etc are not ideal either. I just want the lines to extend it a decent amount so it is visible like it used to be before I did this update.

Please let me know how to change this. I would think that when I select "None" it should be able to do this, but when I do that, it is very blatantly just extending to "End of period". I hope this makes sense. Please let me know how I can correct this!

Try setting the 'Maximum Volume Bar Width Type' to 'Window'
and the 'Maximum Volume Bar Width Percentage' to an appropriate value e.g. 10.
