I'm inquiring if it's possible for me to implement one of my ATAS charts in Sierra Chart and, if so, how identical I can make it. It has 15 minute bars with histogram style profiles. Numerical values are disabled and the point of control has an outline. There's a volume filter that will color the price bar if over a certain number of contracts. There is a 1 hour profile behind the bars, with an outline to show the width/spread of price and a volume total. The 1 hour profile also has the point of control identified. Attached is an example of the chart.

2 VbP studies VbP Study 1: Ticks Per Volume Bar (In:32): 1 Volume Graph Period Type (In:33): Multiple Profiles Based On Fixed Time Time Period Type for 'Fixed Time' (In:34): Minutes Time Period Length for 'Fixed Time' (In:35): 15 VbP Study 2: Ticks Per Volume Bar (In:32): 1 Volume Graph Period Type (In:33): Multiple Profiles Based On Fixed Time Time Period Type for 'Fixed Time' (In:34): Minutes Time Period Length for 'Fixed Time' (In:35): 60 Use Transparent Draw Style (In:52): Yes Transparency Level (In:53): 70 Just the basic part, I don't have time to find out other feature you mentioned, hope someone else will answer the rest part of your question. Sierra's VbP Study (Volume by Price, aka Volume Profile) seems a bit overwhelming for new users, but if you are willing to test each input and read the document, it will pay off very well in the long run, imo.

You didn't answer either part of my question. I was not asking how to do something. I was asking if something could be implemented, and if so, whether I would be able to reproduce it identical to the original. If the answer to either of those was a no, then I could save myself a lot of time wasted toying with various option combinations with no result. How the information is visually parsed is more important than the information itself.

You can get pretty close to your image.

Pretty close is an understatement, User431178. That's about as identical as one could expect across platforms. Thanks for that screenshot. Musing: Nothing quite like asking a person about planting seeds and then having them tell you how to dig an irrigation ditch.
