When you have a highly volatile instrument such as BTC or any other instrument in the course of its trading there will be volumes on each cluster level. Sometimes they have gaps in them. Clusters can be vertically compressed to display information better. The compression ratio must be specified in this menu item. Below you can see a bitcoin chart with compression of $10

Info Window

This settings tab is for displaying values in the upper left corner. which data to display you can choose for yourself. For example, it is important for me to know the volume value and I only display them. You can also adjust the font of this information.

Adjusting the color of the volume histogram depending on the direction of the price bar or changing the color depending on whether the volume is higher or lower now.
