Hi there guys,
I have an issue which involves the background logic that NT uses for their volume sensitivity (or the darkness of the colour within the bars) when using a footprint chart.
I'm using a 5 range chart on the ES which compared to the 12 range chart doesn't show as greater difference in volume shade within the bar due to the smaller range obviously having less volume within it. So I went to the chart sensitivity setting within "data series" and found what I thought would solve the issue which was the "chart sensitivity" setting which is by default I think set to 20. I changed this to 50, then 100, then to the max I believe which seems to be 255 and not one of those changes made any difference to the "darkness" or shade of the different volumes within the bars as I'd hoped it would.
Do you have any suggestions as to why this setting is not having the desired effect of making the shades more darker or noticeable - ie. my whole chart is just made up of very lightly shaded bars - so I can distinguish between a higher volume bar and lower volume one or more importantly when I zoom out to try and guage the participation of the larger group within a section of the chart I can't see lighter traded areas vs more heavily traded areas - which is really important to me and one of the main reasons I use the footprint is to guage where there has been a large amount of buying meeting selling so when a move occurs from this consolidation, I then track the darkness of the shade on the breakout to see if it's got the volume within each bar to continue or fail.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance,
Adam.
