Hi all,
I'm trying to use the esignal prv file but ran into two problems. 1) The volume is capped so that volume doesn't display above a certain level. 2) I can't seem to edit or delete those horizontal volume rays.
The attachment should show you what I mean.
Any help you can offer would be appreciated. Thanks.

Losttrader - I noticed in the most recent revision of the Ninja PRV tool that the color for PRV seems to flip between red and yellow, often making it difficult to differentiate PRV from volume. Is this by design, or a bug?
Thanks again for your brilliant work on getting this stuff going in Ninja...

Technically, I think PRV is pink and gold.
vs. red & black volume...If PRV > Vol[1] (i.e., previous Volume bar) then the color is gold.
If PRV < previous Volume, the color is pink.
When you have the Indicator menu open, and VolumePRV highlighted in the lower left window, you can edit all of those plot parameters, including the colors used on both PRV & Volume.
You can even make them all the same color.

Right click on chart and select edit studies from the drop list. The study properties window will open and from the study drop list in upper left corner select the prv 5es.
Insert a value into n clip greater than high volume so you can view the bars without clipping. You will need to change this value when the days highest volume is very low because the bars will be very small if the nclip is set high.
This should do the fix.
Tikitrader, thank you and thanks also to dkm for the fixes
. And while I'm thanking folks, can't forget Vorzo and a big thanks to Pr0crast for all his support. You're all tremendous. It really does take a village to raise a padawan.One additional question, Tikitrader. You posted the attached snip some time ago and it looks like you used esignal for the tick chart. I'm wondering how you set up the tick chart to look like that and how you included showing the bids and asks being hit. I'm kind of new to esignal so when I tried to open the tick chart it just showed horizontal lines. Thanks.

Open up an advanced chart. Select tick from interval list or tab. Right click on chart to open drop menu and select edit studies.
In the study properties window that opens, select line/tick in the chart type.
In the tick settings field just below, uncheck the square wave in top row and leave all other checks active.
Then just setup chart to desired look.
I like to take the x and y axis and consolidate to show as much info, as shown in the clip you attached.
They represent the inside bid/ask.
Iâm posting my reply here since this is the appropriate thread for JHM software discussion. Thanks for the comments. The model is Excel 2003 with VBA (Visual Basic for Applications). The data feeds are DDE links from OEC (Open Ecry) and TOS (thinkorswim). Everything updates in real-time including DOM (very fast!). I find that OECâs DDE links to be quite robust. As I mentioned, Iâm testing out this idea of a semi-automated model based on the principals of the JHM. The biggest challenge will be the automation (or semi-automation) of the channels. I wrote logic in an earlier model to draw the gaussians, but I believe that Iâm going to re-think that logic. The model also calculates Str/Squ (but it is not shown right now). I do like using Excel because you can easily create logic tables based on binary switches and logic gates. One is only limited by their imagination (and time!). The other nice thing about using Excel is that it is very common. No expensive charting programs/services to buy. Of course IT DOES have its limitations. Ultimately I would like to have a self-contained application that could be distributed (maybe as an .xla file, Excel add-in, that is if I stick with Excel), but I donât want to get ahead of myself just yet.
