Thanks to all who commented on this basic question for me. Curious, now that I know the answer, is to go and search in Help for the instruction that tells you that you can control the height of the volume bars to 1/x the space of the pane. Maxvalue and Minvalue are clearly mentioned but the connection to the height of the bars is not easily found (I never found it). But, that is what this list is for...thanks again. Ken

On some charts but not all, the volume bars, overlaid on a candle price chart, extend too far up the height of the pane and overlap the candles. I have tried in vain to adjust the Plot statement to make the bars shorter. I have tried the maximum and minimum flags as explained in Help but it does not seem to work. Tried to make the max and min parameters but again nothing. Can someone offer some specific advice. Thanks.
