Hi. I would like to have an indicator that works with the numbers bars that would simply draw a line at say any price level that met my level 3 compare threshold. The line would extend until future intersection like the volume profiles do. Is there something like this that currently exists? I know you guys don't necessarily assist with custom indicators but if it's not already out there could you point me in the right direction on how I could get started creating this? Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Got it. Thank you. Not to be picky or unappreciative but is there a way to use a diagonal comparison on this? That's how I have my numbers bars situated. Thank you for your help.

Yes, we will add support for that.

Great! How will I know once it's added? Will it show up in a future release or will it suddenly show up as an option when I pull up the indicator?

You will need to update. Just give us a couple of days to get this out. And it will be a new item in the Comparison Method Input with the study.

Sounds great.....and I may be jumping the gun here but I'd really like to bring up one point on this. I just looked at the description and it says that when using the diagonal comparison that the bid AND the ask volume line will always be at the bid price level. I'd like to offer up a suggestion or perhaps you could assist me with what I'm trying to accomplish. I'm sure I'm not the only one who would like this but I'd really like to have the ask line at the price where the actual ask volume comparison is as opposed to at the bid price. I understand that there will likely be times where I'll have a bid line and an ask line at the same price. Many times I see price fall to the tick at the ask line and move up. If this line were at the bid price instead and price reversed right at the ask price then the line would not disappear even though technically it would have been an intersection with the price. It would still extend further and would get confusing. I'd rather save a version of the indicator for the bid lines and another one for the ask lines and be able to hide one of them if I want to. Alternatively if you are set on the way you are rolling this out would it be possible for me to reference this study and automatically draw a line 1 tick above the ask line until future intersection? This way I can hide the Volume at Price Alert Threshold V2 indicator and have the lines where I want them. Sorry for the long description but I'm excited about having access to this and would really like to be able to use it in this fashion. Thank you. |

The problem is a diagonal comparison is comparing trade volume values at two different price levels. It is not necessarily right to have it at either level. Unless maybe it were at the more dominant level. would it be possible for me to reference this study and automatically draw a line 1 tick above the ask line until future intersection? No, this is not possible.

I understand what you're saying. Technically it would be a line that is between the bid and ask prices. I would just like to have the lines and the colors on my numbers bars match up like the attached image link. Is this doable? Or maybe do it in between the bid and ask. I suppose if the bid was 2254.50 and the ask was 2254.75 then the line would be at 2254.625 right? Thanks for your help. http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1482986362374.png |

Hi. Just checking to see if this is still in the works. I've been checking the 'What's New' section for updates. Do you have any idea when this will be available? Specifically to use this indicator with a diagonal comparison and the lines like was previously discussed? Thank you.

When a diagonal comparison is done, now the line is on the more dominant side price level. This is now released. Update to the latest prerelease: http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/download.php#FastUpdate We would not mention a small change like this on the What is New page.

Great! I'm working with it now and have a question about the volume threshold. It looks like this setting is used for the difference in ask vs. bid diagonally. On my numbers bars I have it setup with 100,200,400 where, as you know, the calculation for the threshold is 1x, 2x, and 4x the volume. Is there a way to do this with this indicator where it looks at the multiple comparison instead of the difference? Thank you.

We could add this capability. We will look into that.

Excellent! Thank you for your help. What is the best way for me to know when this has been done? I thought I was onto something with the 'What's New' but I guess not. Just keep downloading pre-releases and check?

Hi. Can you give me a time frame when I'll be able to use this indicator and compare with multiples as opposed to differences like previous discussed here? I just want it to be consistent with my numbers bars. Thank you.

That's awesome! Thank you. Should I just download 'pre-release' in a couple days and check? Sorry but I never really know how to check and don't understand the difference between pre-release and current version. |

I sent the last response after I did the ask lines but I am having trouble with the bid lines. You'll see in the image that every single ask line matches the numbers bars and is extended. My settings for this threshold in both the numbers bars and the V2 indicator is 400% compared diagonally. For the ask lines my settings for the V2 indicator are as follows: Comparison: Ask Vol Bid Vol Diagonal Diff Volume Threshold: 0 Vol Alert: Disabled Ext Lines: Yes Bid Ask Comp Method: Percentage Diff Percent Threshold: 400 This works great. I then made a duplicate of this and switched the color of the lines and made the Percent Threshold -400 for the bid lines. The lines aren't matching up at all. There's a big 706 vs 17 in the top middle that should definitely have a line. Is there a setting that I'm missing? It is comparing the bid price to the ask price above it yes? Please help. Thank you. http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1484186049356.png |
