Order Flow Volume Profile covering up candlesticks

[gig618]

I am currently setting up order flow volume profiles on all my charts. On my 5 minute chart, the profiles are obscuring the candles, while I don't have the issue on the 15 min. I have tried changing the opacity settings, but that is not the issue. Can someone please offer some help. I've included screenshots of both the 5 min and 15 min charts for comparison.

Hello gig618,

Thank you for your post.

It sounds like the issue with the profiles obscuring your candles may be due to the Z-ordering of your chart objects, specifically the Order Flow Volume Profiles. Even though adjusting the opacity didn't help, you can try changing the Z-order to resolve this.

Here's how you can move the volume profiles to the back or front of the chart to avoid covering the candles:

1. Open the Chart: Right-click on the chart where the profiles are being displayed.
2. Access the Z-Order Settings: Select "Properties" from the menu, then navigate to the “Z-Order” field. This will allow you to reorder the items on your chart.
3. Move the Volume Profile Behind the Candles: Set the Z-order for the volume profile to a higher number than the candles (this moves the profiles behind the candles). Lower Z-order numbers will keep elements in front of higher numbers.
4. Save the Chart: After adjusting the Z-order, press OK and save your chart.

You can also check for other chart objects that may interfere with the profiles and adjust their Z-order accordingly.

Please let us know if you have any other questions.
