Volume bars with small volume are out of proportion. Notice how they extend to next bar. Settings: Display total volume Diagonal difference of bid and ask volume http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1503941172951.png |

There may not be any volume data for those symbols and that would be the problem.

Hi Sierra Chart Engineering, I have problem with volume profile from the menu:Tools/ submenu :Draw volume. I was able to insert volume profile on $SPX index one month ago. Why this fonction does not work now. I pay for this services. I chose software Sierra Chart becose you have tool: Volume profil, but this tool does not work for $SPX now. Please answer me. Thanks Ales |

You need to use the symbol $INX instead. There never has been true volume data for $SPX. What you were seeing before was nothing more than the volume indicating the number of price updates. It was not accurate. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users. Try to keep your questions brief and to the point.

Hi Sierra Chart Engineering, I have still problem with volume profile (from the menu:Tools/ submenu :Draw volume) for $VIX. I can not insert visible volume profil. I have the same problem on intraday and day chart of index $VIX. My friend show me volume profile in $VIX graph on facebook now. I would like to know what does it means letter [M] on beginning of Title Bar of graph (example $SPY [M] .....) http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1504557187330.png Thanks for your answer.

I believe your symbol does not have volume associated with it. If you want an ETF related to volatility, try these: http://etf.stock-encyclopedia.com/category/volatility-index-(vix)-etfs.html |

This symbol definitely has no real volume data. We are working on adding support this week for the volume based on price updates. Allow a couple of days for that. This volume data will only be effective though as of this week. In regards to the other question, refer to: Chart Data and Chart Data Files: The Meaning of the [M] Designation after a Symbol Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1504762101984.png Why is row with 23 volume green? I think it should be red. Chartbook is attached. |

We will not answer this question now. It takes away time from our development. We will only focus on the documentation. Wait for that.

I think there are still major coloring issues in volume by price study. Specifically in volume bar calculation method. 1. Diagonal ask volume - bid volume. Values are repeated twice, consistently. 2. Total volume. Color and length of bar are frequently incorrect. |

Just wait on this until we have the documentation ready and some additional revisions/changes. You also need to understand for the visible lengths when you are using diagonal bid volume and ask volume coloring, that the length will be based upon those differences and not the volume at the price level. There definitely is no problem in that regard. It is just a matter of understanding what you are seeing. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

I understand what you say. Please let me know when you make the programming changes to see if my concerns are still valid. Thanks.

Also, if you have Volume by Price study and Number Bar study on same screen and try to do multiple volume bar profiles, the scaling to all visible bars does not work properly.

FYI, this is an example of the repeating double values using Diagonal ask volume - bid volume. http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1505157738602.png |

Regarding double values, do you see all the volumes with same numbers repeated twice? http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1505157738602.png Date Time Of Last Edit: 2017-09-11 19:32:24

Please look at the colored difference items. Do you see how the differences many times make no sense and are repeated twice in green and red? http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1505157738602.png |

OK we see what you are saying. That is 100 percent accurate by design because at each price level there is only one diagonal difference which is displayed numerically and visually through coloring. It is the one with the greatest dominance whether negative or positive. The documentation is now updated. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

OK regarding the double numbers. Other item... if you have Volume by Price study and Number Bar study on same screen and try to do multiple volume bar profiles, the scaling to all visible bars does not work properly. We will need to see a chart of this and a detailed explanation as to what exactly is not right. Circled in yellow is an example of combining a volume profile created with number bars and volume profile with volume by price. Notice how the scaling doesn't put both studies on equal footing. There is a volume of 93 and difference volume of 37 both showing same length. |

Attached is a better example from today... If you have Volume by Price study and Number Bar study on same screen and try to do multiple volume bar profiles, the scaling to all visible bars does not work properly. "We will need to see a chart of this and a detailed explanation as to what exactly is not right." Circled in yellow is an example of combining a volume profile created with number bars and volume profile with volume by price. Notice how the scaling doesn't put both studies on equal footing. There is a volume of 58 in gray circled in blue that is shorter than the difference bar volume of 14 circled in yellow. In fact, the bar circled in yellow even overlaps the bar in gray.

The Volume by Price study and Numbers Bars study each use independent scaling for the volume bars. Each instance of a study always uses independent scaling. You cannot make comparisons between each other. Also the Volume by Price study documentation is now up to date. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

You just need to use a single instance of the Numbers Bars study with two columns to accomplish what you want.
