Numbers Bars with Constant Scale Across all Bars

Currently when I set NumbersBars with background histograms such as "Ask/Bid Volume Split Profile Across Bid/Ask" each bar has the histogram scaled to acomodate the highest volume as the biggest histogram in that bar.

Is it possible to make it so that I can set a value to which each histogram is scaled to?

This way I would have a much better perception of what type of volume is actually going on, because currently the histogram of a bar that has had little volume seem to have as much importance as that of a bar that has had a lot of volume...

so if in LowVolBar I got the POC sell side at 200 contracts, but I got the HighVolBar POC sell side at 3000 contracts, the POC sell histogram of the LowVolBar will look as big as that of the POC sell histogram of the HighVolBar. I think this skews the perception.

Is there a custom study that solves this, or a setting that I missed, that allows me to set a value X to which all histogram bars are scaled to?

Refer to the setting at the following link:

I don't think you understood my question.
http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=163525117577.png

take the chart above, the higher bar has a volume of 39.4K while the second last bar a total volume of 20.1K.

The POC of the 39.4K bar has 3378 contracts hitting the Offer.
The POC of the 20.1K bar has 1577 contracts hitting the Offer.

Yet the 20.1K POC 1577 histo bar is as big as that of the 39.4K 3378 histo bar.

I am asking if is possible to visualise every histogram in each period Bar with the same scale, because it is misleading as it currently is.

EDIT: no, you are right you understood, is the right suggestion, but I would like to set a maximum value for the scale myself, or based on previous day max bar rathe than for the visible bars, so that for each day I have a scale of in which conditions we are oprating rather than the scale always being influenced from current condition.

By displayed on the screen is meant all the bars in the chart? or only the one currently showing on the screen? because if is the first is good enough.

The option we gave is the only one available and it only applies to the Visible bars on the screen.
