Volumetric Bar ValueArea, ValueAreaHighPrice, ValueAreaLowPrice

[WaleeTheRobot]

Version: 8.1.3.0

I noticed a new property in the Volumetric Data Series called Show value area and Value area (%), but it doesn't appear to display any changes. I'm assuming it is supposed to draw the value area around the volume for each bar. Attached is the menu showing that it's selected and a screenshot of the bars without any apparent changes.

// I was able to see the values accessing the volumetric bar
volumetricBar.Volumes[CurrentBar - barsAgo].ValueAreaHighPrice;
volumetricBar.Volumes[CurrentBar - barsAgo].ValueAreaLowPrice;
volumetricBar.Volumes[CurrentBar - barsAgo].ValueArea;​

Hello WaleeTheRobot,

After an update from development it looks like those properties and the properties in the volumetric UI are intended for a future feature however the Ui properties were included by accident in this release. The UI properties will not change anything in the chart. The NinjaScript properties are not currently documented for the same reason, I would suggest to avoid using those values as they are currently not documented and it is not certain if that will stay the same in future updates.

is there any update regarding the Value Area coming out for volumetric bars? it is a very much needed function for volumetric bars.

Hello unpacify,

If these items become supported in the future they will be documented in the help guide, we would otherwise be unable to provide any eta or if those will be included in a future update or removed. We do not suggest using undocumented properties as they may be removed in future updates. You can keep track of the following page after updates to check if they have been added.
