Hi there, Have used both Marketdelta and yourselves for footprints and have to say that there is not much difference except for the price so my hat is off to you! One suggestion/problem I'm having is leading to a rather large number of charts on screen. When zooming out on a footprint chart, it gets smaller and smaller until it eventually disappears. Considering that the data is unreadable when zoomed out to a certain level, is there anyway of simply converting the footprint data (or in my case, the volume profile for each individual bar) into the shape of the candlestick on whatever timeframe is selected? I monitor a few timeframes, and 3 charts actually means 6 as I have to have separate charts open to monitor the candlesticks/price action that is reported within the numbers bars. I have read the instructions on posting images to illustrate what I mean by taking screenshots of marketdelta to show you what I mean but I cannot work out a way to do this. Regards, Bootsy |

Ummm ok, the thing is that SC doesn't currently have what I am asking so it's a bit difficult to illustrate but will try. First picture/link below is the numbers bars in volume profile mode. http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?l=1453741519176.png Second picture/link below is that same chart zoomed out a fair bit more http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?l=1453741546996.png You can see that in this situation in the second link where it has been zoomed out, the profile is unreadable and of no practical use. What Marketdelta manages to do at this point is convert these numbers/volume bars into the candlestick pattern that the numbers bars cover. The third picture here: http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?l=1453741603956.png shows what would happen on MarketDelta once a certain zooming out point is reached. It recognises that the data displayed is zoomed out to a sufficient level that it then manages to show the underlying price chart candlesticks rather than continuing to display the zoomed out volume profile/numbers bars. Because this is not possible on SC, for every numbers bar I'm looking at, I have to have an identical price chart next to it so I can see the price action which obviously takes up space when looking at different markets. So is there any way that the MD fix for this can be applied? Thanks for your time+hope that made sense. Bootsy |

We understand. We will consider this, but it is something that is highly unusual to implement in that Sierra Chart never alters the Graph Drawn Type for a chart based on the bar spacing. First request we have ever had of this.

Thanks, I understand it's a new one but it really is a great idea (well I would say that) as it enhances the usability of the charts and means that you can monitor both order flow/footprints as well as price action in one chart. Anything you can do to rival MD can't be bad!
