I downloaded a couple of chartbooks that I really like online. This being one of them and when trying to load it into sierra charts it gives me an error and says that it's an invalid chartbook. Is there an updated version of this?

I love the number bars chart and the DOM to the right I really would like this. Is there a way for me to make it work?

Here are your updated chartbooks. Be sure after you open them that you select Edit >> Translate Symbols to Current Service to ensure that the symbols are set correctly four the service you are using.

It worked great on the default symbol you installed on the chartbook but once I updated the symbol to US30 which is what I trade it bugged out and it no longer works. I did the edit translate symbols to current service and even deleted all and downloaded and still no fix.

US30 does not provide the proper data for Numbers Bars. Do not use that symbol.

You instead need to use, a futures contract symbol like:
YMM22-CBOT

Also refer to the documentation here for the Numbers Bars study:

I'm getting the same exact results with the YMM22-CBOT symbol as well. I made sure I was on the most current version of the software using HELP as well. Still the same thing as the screenshot in the last one.

There is a problem with the Chart Settings for that chart and/or the scale. It is recommended to open a new chart.

What is the Chart >> Chart Settings >> Tick Size set to?

opps I read the wrong one it's 1.00000

It's not just the main chart that is an issue the DOM is also not working. No numbers showing up on the DOM

Make sure this setting is set to 1:
Chart Settings: Volume at Price Multiplier for Historical/Intraday Chart (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Chart Data >> Volume at Price menu)

And reset the scale for that chart:
Chart Scale and Scale Adjusting: Chart Bars or Studies Not Completely within View, Not Displayed, or Cut Off. Reset Scales.
