Hi Chad,

Just saw your post on Volume Breakdown. You mentioned you plotted it 3 times? How do I overlay the indicator on top of each other? Thanks

You can actually simply drag and drop indicators between panes. That's really the easiest way to do it. However, when adding indicators, you'll also see a choice in the lower left corner of the "Add Indicator" window which allows you to choose which pane the indicator is added to. Standalone indicators like VB will default to "new pane" but you can change that to the pane of existing bars or indicators.

There is a 13-minute video at www.linnsoft.com/videos which covers many different aspects of technical indicators, including this one. Here is the direct link:

ST - when you want to add another indicator to the chart but you want to overlay it on an already existing indicator (so for example putting two variants of the VB in one pane) specify the pane in which you want to place the new indicator as being the same pane the existing indicator is in - see attachment.

Still playing around with it to get the same format as Chad. Attached is my chart so far. I feel like I am missing something?

Hmmmm Yes you are - check for the Selling VB (the red negative bars) you have not specified some minimum trade size?

Thanks mister ed, I will play around with the settings to see what I get.

In that bottom pane, to reproduce Chad's chart in the VB thread add in:

Buy Volume
Sell Volume (Negative)
Delta (Buy - Sell Volume) <------- this one will need to have its colours changed
