Is it possible to create a charts based upon size? i.e Net Cumulative Bid/Ask filtered for 100 lots or higher?

So in this example, one wld be telling the software to show them (graphically/visually) what the 100+ lot traders are doing.

Yes. Refer to Volume Filtering here:

However, we do not consider this method valid for the reasons explained here:

Ok. I checked out those links & see your point.

I think I've found a way to counter that - I loaded 2 diff charts of same symbol (ZN) & periodicity - chart A to Exclude >=5 & chart B to Exclude <= 1200. Then set Graph Draw Type on both to 'Blank'. Added Cumulative Delta Volume to both & then pulled CDV study up to hide Chart Region 1.

So as an example, on open of ZN today you can see that >=5 were buying into open while <=1200 were selling into the open.

My question to Sierra Chart Engineering is ...

1. Does that make sense from a software programming prospective?
2. I watched T&S w/ a 500 lot filter closely at the open & never saw a 1200 lot come through. Any thoughts on that?

1. We do not know. This will be something you have to determine.

2. It depends upon the symbol. And this may make sense based upon what we say here:

1. I was asking ... 'if a user has created a chart filtered by Exclude <=100 & then adds CDV study to that chart - is the study out putting CDV for only <=100 ?

3. I dont see how the info @ https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_ChartDataFiles.html#LargeVolumeTrades explains how a chart w/ <=1200 will show trades at various prices when a 1200 lot never traded.

I dont want to keep belaboring this topic - I appreciate the assitance - thanks much!

1. The study would be based upon trades which have a volume value of 101 or higher.

3. What you are asking is not making sense to us. Obviously, if a 1200 lot never traded and the chart is filtering out trades 1201 and higher, then effectively no filtering is occurring.

That's my fault - my inexperience w/ the software made it difficult for me verbalize what I was seeing/getting at.

You guys did a great job trying to answer my questions.

After watching the charts for a cple days, I was able to make heads & tails of I was seeing.

My bad - thanks again!
