HI, Thanks for your app and I am in trial period. I have strong interest in playing with your app and learn. When I play with the numbered bar chart, I find a problem that could be a bug. So please let me know whether I use your software correctly. Please see the attached image. My numbered bar chart is a reverse chart, ie 0.25*6 PF chart. You can see that I set each bar of the chart to have 2 columns: the left column is the volume, the right column is bid volume*ask volume. I set exclude <=300. Now the problem comes. If you see the last bar in the image, there is a price level with the volume of 197. How could that be? This does not occur once, it happens many times in other bars. Is this a bug? or do I not use your software correctly? Thank you! I am looking forward to hearing back from the support. |

The problem is you did not follow the Numbers Bars instructions. Make sure Sierra Chart is set for a tick by tick data configuration as the step-by-step instructions explain: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_TickbyTickDataConfiguration.php Also you are not going to see hardly any trading activity with a volume filter of <= 300 and it does not seem to make sense.

Thanks a lot! However, I check the data service settings. I do not see any problems. I also see the verification suggested in the url you send to me. I do not see any problem either. Please see the attached images. Thanks again. Please guide me. |

Furthermore, I set the exclude <=80, you can see at a price level, the volume is 76. This is not correct. Please see the attached image. Thank you! |

We will make this more clear in the instructions but you are going to have to re-download the data as explained: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_TickbyTickDataConfiguration.php Go to the chart and select Edit >> Delete All Data Download. The Numbers Bar study itself may have set the Intraday Data Storage Time Unit to 1 Tick but this was done after some non-tick data was already downloaded.

Thanks a lot! It works! I have another question regarding importing a lot of price level lines in a chart. Because there are quite a lot and I need to change them everyday, may I ask whether there is a way more convenient than drawing horizontal lines directly on the chart? for instance, can I define them in a file and then import the file to sierra chart software? or any other better way? |
