Note: If you apply an overlay study to a study with more than one curve, the ShareScale parameter of the overlay study must be on (and not set to Auto) for scale sharing to be successful. Setting the parameter to Auto could lead to separate ShareScale behavior for curves of the same study. For example, if you apply Moving Average (MA) to the Volume study, and Moving Average ShareScale =Auto, then the Vol and VolFilt bars in the Volume study output are scaled differently.
