This is all handled internally by pjsProfileBars, but there are a few considerations<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You should likely use the &#8216;price resolution&#8217; feature in the &#8216;Data&#8217; settings to reduce price resolution to something useful. A level of 10, for example. Some crypto instruments have very small tick sizes and large ranges vs comparable charts for US index futures.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The very large resolution volume data from some data feeds, such as 1.65834659667 vs\u202f1.0 in futures (US futures don&#8217;t typically support fractional volumes), can lead to small discrepancies when totalled over millions of ticks.  A 32\u2011bit float holds only about seven significant decimal digits, so when a tiny tick\u2011volume is added to a growing sum many times, the rounding error can accumulate. By way of new code inside pjsProfilebars to handle this, the accumulated error is reduced to well below 0.01\u202f% of the bar volume, but there may be very small visible mismatches between the indicator\u2019s volume histogram numbers and the exchange\u2011reported or NT8 VOL() volume numbers. These are generally of no consequence to normal trading.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":5388,"menu_order":20,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","doc_tag":[],"class_list":["post-13135","docs","type-docs","status-publish"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"comment_count":0,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pjsmith.me.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs\/13135","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pjsmith.me.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pjsmith.me.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/docs"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pjsmith.me.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13135"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/pjsmith.me.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs\/13135\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13136,"href":"https:\/\/pjsmith.me.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs\/13135\/revisions\/13136"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pjsmith.me.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs\/5388"}],"prev":[{"title":"Profiles - data block","link":"https:\/\/pjsmith.me.uk\/index.php\/docs\/pjsprofilebars\/general-feature-notes\/profiles-data-block\/","href":"https:\/\/pjsmith.me.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs\/7326"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pjsmith.me.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13135"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"doc_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pjsmith.me.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/doc_tag?post=13135"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
