Volume Based Charts Request for HELP

As you guys know here I am a big fan of the Volume Based Charts / Share Bar charts. I am a TradeStation user. I thought a few things looked odd today while I was watching things progress...



As you can see, this is an EC chart set at an interval of 500 shares. Well, hopefully you can also see the problem here... All those yellow highlights are when a candle formed that was OVER the 500 setting. :mad:

Frustrating to say the least.

So, I am asking for help of those using something other than TS for charting - if you could be so kind as to first see if your charting platform supports Volume Based Charts (aka Share Bars) and then add a volume histogram to the bottom of it and see if the volume is nice and uniform or if it is like my pic above. Please post all feedback here so we can help each other out!

Thanks!!!
