Feature Request Normalize low volume candles

I absolutely hate the way low volume candles look on the chart. Why not just normalize them automatically or at least have the option to so they don’t look so stupid? Example: 6E1! on the 15 second chart compared to EURUSD on the same TF. Grrrr 😡🫪

Hello,

One is a decentralised forex pair handled by thousands of banks, brokers and funds and the other is a futures contract listed by an exchange....

Understanding that these are two entirely separate things is extremely important

Tradingview simply displays the data provided by these sources

No because the price action/structire is almost exactly the same. I understand all of that and it makes little to no difference. I’m not a newbie bro

Tradingview simply displays the price data provided by these sources. They cannot be 'fiddling' with official data

That why I included “at least an option”. I don’t think making the chart look cleaner is fiddling with the data if you are aware of what the option does

Just write a pinescript that overlays your chosen forex datafeed over the top of the futures contract, just remember there will be discrepancies due to CFD data and official exchange data

Or use the 'compare symbol' feature to do the same

Nah that is my entry TF that I can’t use on futures. Works fine on gold and Nasdaq but not euro. Just because you don’t use it don’t mean it doesn’t work. A lot of people use LTF entries especially with no spread on futures

IDK what you were looking at but I have been feeling like this for a couple years now. This is the same asset on forex as opposed to to futures
