Post From: Numbers Bars question

Hi,

I am testing Sierra Charts, because it seems to fit very well for me. But I am an enthusiast of footprint charts, and using Numbers Bars study I get strange data. In Market Delta or Multicharts footprints, most of the bars has a 0 in bid at the high of the bar, and a 0 in ask at the low. Bars with numbers different from 0 in the high or low are just a few, and in fact, they have a name: unfinished auction, which give trading oportunities.

But with Numbers Bars, the equivalent to footprint, almost every bar has bid and ask different from 0 in both high and low of the bar. I attach an image.

Probably I am doing something wrong, but I need to know how to avoid it and have actual unfinished auction footpring bars.

Also, I would know which study have I to use to have colored bars instead of numbers in the bottom of the chart of the screen capture. It shows the net balance of the bar (sell market orders - buy market orders). I want to draw a bar, not a number. Which study need I to use?

Thanks
