Hello,

I have a daily bar chart with volume study going back a few years. Whenever I research a ticker, I often click on the chart and hover over specific days to find the volume on those days in the Tool Values Menu. With volumes over 1 million and no commas in the number, it's often difficult to tell what the number is by a factor of 10.

Is there a function equivalent to "Large Number Display Formatting" that is available for the Tools Value Window or perhaps is there another method to do what I want (Getting the volume values from a daily chart in an easy to read format)?

There is not a way to change the Value Format for the Volume that is displayed as part of the Main Price Graph in the Tool Values Window.

But, what you can do is to add the Volume study to your chart and set the Value Format to Large Integer with Suffix. Then, when you bring up the Tool Values Window, it will show the volumes as 4 digits with a volume size suffix.

For more information on the Large Integer with Suffix setting, refer to the information in this section:
