Clearly I am blind.

I was messing with the bar type of "bid/ask volume bars", which is basically like a TFlow bar if I've understood correctly.

But no matter what I do, I cannot get the scale of the bars so that the bars are not overlapping.

What the heck am I missing?

You tried the obvious, increasing bar spacing by using the up arrow key?

Is this really a 100000 Constant Volume Bar Chart? For last Friday then there should be around 15 bars, your chart shows some more.

Here is an example of how I do it: see screen shot. I have set up a 3041 Constant Volume Bar Chart and then added the Number Bars indicator.

SC support promises to resolve this issue in the next release: https://www.sierrachart.com/supportboard/showthread.php?t=38236

If you use a time based chart instead of a volume based chart then the problem does not exist.

Thanks, hadn't considered using time based bars.
