thank you...Many traders came to Sierrachart from Bookmap (or use Bookmap as another platform). The above requirement is one of the things that would take Sierra one step forward. With a limit of 60 SGs, this is the only way to display Delta Volume at price in one graphics tag without externally loading another graphics library. A native implementation would be great.

As replacement for Bookmap with SC I highly suggest https://www.twofoxtrading.co.uk/products/twfx-reconstructed-tape-chart/

I built my chartbooks with it like BM style. See attached.

I continue to look into it as I have time, which is not much.
But, it is much more involved than I had originally thought, as we would have to create the OpenGL implementation for this as well, as it does not currently exist.
I really do not know when we will be able to get this done.

Is there any chance please add my request (#60)?
Thank you

Still on my short-list of things to do, but I am not getting time to get to it due to other responsibilities. Sorry.

Yes definitely a graphical representation with native delta dots, easily usable would be very important for Sierra Chart.

For the moment I'm using Large Volume trade indicator for the ES with the Draw Mode "Based on Total Ask Bid Volume Above Threshold - Difference" witht a Volume Threshold of 15 it is not bad but it is not perfect...

THE SIMPLEST SOLUTION coudl be 2:
1) modifying the Large Volume Trade Indicator adding a "Delta Threshold" that means the Threshold should be a difference Ask-Bid larger than...

2) modifying the "Volume at price threshold alert" with a draw mode with automatic sizing

Just one of this possible solutions, I suppose not very difficult from your side, could allow to make an heatmap that has nothing to envy to Bookmap

Please consider this solutions, this could consent to sierra to make a real jump forawrd, could attract more clients and make the existing much more satisfied.

This is not a problem, but it will be confusing for you in situations that often recur close to each other - there will be an overlap of information. The goal of my request (post #60) is to get as much information as possible into one SG / one graphic marks and to keep the screen clear. With a limited number of SGs, this is very necessary.

This already exists, including Diagonal Difference. We added this sometime over the past year. Refer to the following:

Hi John

This already exists, including Diagonal Difference. We added this sometime over the past year. Refer to the following:
Large Volume Trade Indicator: Inputs

I think not exactely, the trigger is still the "trade" larger than a certain number of contracts, then ok it can be plotted the Delta (Ask - Bid = Delta) but it only display Delta Circles or Squares if the trade (not delta) is larger than a certain amount.

It should be changed the Volume Threshold in Delta Threshold may be also duplicating the same Study and giving it a different name like for eg. Delta Bubbles or something...

Moreover I found an issue on the Large Volume indicator that if corrected could be already a step forward:
The automatic indicator size (of Ask Bid volume difference) confront negative with negative and positive with positive, instead it shoud be with the absolute number of both (positive and negative)
In the attached image for example -85 should be larger than +42, everything would be much more usable and correct.
Please correct at least this.
Tks regards
R.

yes this could be very good of course

With existing no, only modification through ACSIL. It is possible and not difficult, because last year I had this study part of a group of free indicators on my forum. Write to one of the third party programmers, it works in coding for an hour at most ....

I know all that. I'm also not creating pressure on you and I'm waiting patiently, I'm a longtime user of Sierrachart and I see how much you've created new features and improved the user interface in recent years. In a friendly tone, I just emphasize that this should be soon a priority in user planned enhancements, as this is one of the main needs of all former Bookmap users (perhaps thanks to this a new Sierrachart users in the future). Thank you for your time and work.

Would it be possible to add the drawstyle Transparent Circle Variable Size with Border to the Large Volume Trade indicator as well? The visual is much cleaner with the ability to add the border.
