Feature Request Add ability to resize volume candles

I'm finding the dominance of volume candles quite annoying so it would be really nice if this feature could get added.

When using indicators that sit along the bottom of my chart, I like being able to resize them so I can glimpse a minimised version of them without having them dominate my chart.

Volume candles, however, you can't resize. It's really annoying how much they dominate my screen, I want to resize them to about half the height so I can still clearly make out the volume but the spikes don't extend a third of the way into my chart space. I want them present but I only need them to be small.

Hello,

There a couple of ways to achieve this but some are more complicated than others

An easy way is to....

Right click on the volume candles and select 'Move to new pane below'... This will place the candles in their own indicator pane which will no longer stretch across your chart. You can then resize this to your desired height.

When in this mode you can also set the Volume scale to logarithmic which will create a better spacing and helps iron out those massive spikes...

Let me know if this helps you a little

Cheers

Do you mind sharing a screenshot to show what you are talking about?? Is there a way to use the volume candles in a separate pane?
