Volume profile is missing data in middle section of chart

Postby PD Quig » 19 Aug 2015

I have looked through the settings multiple times and can see no obvious reason why volume profile data appears at the top and bottom of the chart but with a large section missing in the middle. The session is set to 24x7.

Please see attached picture.

Hello PD Quig,

Please make sure that you have complete 1 tick data for this instrument for the 19th August.
If some data is missing - please reload the tick chart to backfill it.

Using Quote Manager, I exported @TFS# tick data from IQFeed for 08/19/2015. All the data is present (two files attached).

See also attached pictures of Instrument and Volume Profile settings.

Note from the picture of the 15-min chart that the phenomenon is present on all days--not just 08/19/2015.

PD Quig,

Please attach the following information for further investigation:
- workspace you are using;
- in QuoteManager select the symbol you are using, make a right click on it->Export data->Export instrument (with data). Send me the Qmd export file for analysis.

There's nothing missing in the profile.
It happened to me also when I started using gray chart backgrounds.

I bet your value area color is the same you use in the chart background.
That's why that effect of nothing being plotted in the middle ;)
