  Tricky with volume indicator on finance chart

I would like to do the below on a finance chart.

The bars are the summation of volume for the price range on the yAxis. Most likely converted into percentages so that can be drawn with ease.

I know how to calculate the data.

I know I can use xyChart.swapXY(true)

The tricky part is  the bars use for xAxis the price data of the yAxis, BUT the bars cant use dates (xAxis for price) as the yAxis as the data would be in percentages???

How can I do this in finance chart???

Hi icm63,

I have seen several of my customers plotting similar charts. The method is to draw the volume price bars in a completely separated XYChart with swapXY, then put this chart under the current chart (using MultiChart.addChart), or save this chart as an image and use this as the background image of the main price chart.

Hope this can help.
