Hey Hope all is good Sooo, I have been running the market depth historical graph with renko bars with wicks I have been looking to amend the number of ticks that are required to create a new bar However, since amending some settings, several features within chart settings are now marked as "read-only" - this is across the board if i create a new chartbook and go through symbol > create new intraday chart Please see the attached screenshots. I am not running multiple instances just for context Please advise, if you would require any further details to troubleshoot, please let me know Many thanks,

A read-only setting, means that it is not applicable in the current context. For example, if the DOM Graph is not enabled, all of those settings for it will be read-only.

You should expect it is read-only, when the Bar Period Type for the chart is not set to a Renko type. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

Can you please advise how I set it to Renko type and how to resolve it? I was able to amend the tick configuration when creating a new bar prior, but now there is no option to change Thank you

Change the "Chart >> Chart Settings >> Bar Period >> Bar Period Type" to on of the Renko options (whichever one you want to use) and then set the "Bar Period Value" to be what you want. Refer to the following: Chart Settings: Bar Period Type (List) (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Bar Period >> Intraday Chart Bar Period Settings menu) In the image you provided, your Bar Period Type is set to "Days-Minutes-Seconds-Milliseconds per Bar".
