Problems with volume bars

[pavelevap]

Hello,

there are some problems with volume bars.

1) In the beginning of my 1000 Volume chart, there is no volume displayed. Please see following screenshot NT_No_volume.png.

2) Also in the end of every day, there is bar with less than 1000 Volume (see attached sreenshot). I think, it is a bug, because it shoud not be dependent on time (date), but only on Volume.

Thank you for your help...

1) We'll check into.
2) Expected, since a new bar is started as a new session is started.

It is Volume chart, so every bar should have Volume = 1000.
It should be independent on date or time (local PC).
So, is it possible to set somehow: every bar has Volume = 1000?

Thank you very much for your help...

Most users prefer to have the implementation as it now int NT6.5. What you suggested was implemented in older NT version and was rejected by most users. That's why we changed it.

Unfortunately there is no way to configure this behavior.

On issue (1): All indicators start painting after 20 bars by default. You can change this by setting the "Show unstable period for indicators" on the chart properties to "true"

Ad 1) Thank you, I did not realize that Volume is indicator. I thought that it is part of datafeed...
Ad 2) OK. For many exchanges (with specific trading hours) it makes sense (NYSE), but in many cases (Forex, Futures) which are traded during 24 hour it is not good idea. Possibility for setting this for particular symbols would be very appreciated.

Thank you for your explanation.
