stock777 Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 Any idea why the volume bars are much dimmer than the same price bar (same width) ?? Colors are set pretty bright in settings., but dont get full brightness until I zoom out quite a bit. Makes them hard to see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Medved Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 Can you give me a pic showing that? Is the pic below something that shows the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stock777 Posted October 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 I think even in your pic, the volume bars are dimmer than the price bars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Medved Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 Can you press Alt-PrtScr while displaying your chart, then paste in here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stock777 Posted October 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2019 p1 exhibits the low brightness p2 shows the same chart but showing fewer minutes so the volume bars expand, and don't seem to have a lowered brightness note the price bars are the same in both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted October 17, 2019 Report Share Posted October 17, 2019 Please send us your current settings (while that chart is open).

Mike Medved Posted October 18, 2019 Report Share Posted October 18, 2019 The forum stuff compresses the pic horribly so it doesn't look anything as crisp as the original... But yes, the volume is dimmer. Three reasons: 1. Your selected colors for up/down volume are different from the selected colors for up/down candles. 2. Your candles are set to be outlined, the outline color is bright, so it brightens up the candles in general. 3. The width of the volume bars in MT is set to be a little less than the width of the candles. This is so that adjacent bars don't overwhelm each other. Here is the difference. First is the chart that has the bars the way MT currently does them: Second, same chart, but not making the bar width smaller: The second chart's volume looks sloppy. That's why the adjustment...

stock777 Posted October 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2019 I assumed you were making the vol bars narrower for cosmetics . so is there any way to make the vol bars bright when displaying a full day or no ? not a huge problem, just wondering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Medved Posted October 18, 2019 Report Share Posted October 18, 2019 change the up/down volume indicator's colors to brighter ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stock777 Posted October 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2019 😊 Why didnt I think of that Certainly tried that before bothering you . I use a 4k TV screen , so charts are relatively small. and no adjustment to color makes much diff. Probably because you chop a few pixels off the edges guess you could make that an option (Thick VolumeBars) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Medved Posted October 19, 2019 Report Share Posted October 19, 2019 "Wider Bars" option will be in volume in next beta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
