Hi, This has been submitted (I think) as "Programming Help" which I think it is. If it is in the wrong section I apologize and would be grateful if it could be moved to the correct section. I am a total newbie to Sierra "chart engineering" and have been given templates for all my charts and they work really well. I have 2 questions about the Footprint window I am starting to use - if anyone can help with either I would be very grateful. 1. On the footprint window at the bottom of that chart there is a display showing numerical values for "Delta", "Delta Change", "Max Delta" Min Delta" etc. for each candle. Is it possible to show on that window/chart a new display which is the Difference between the Max Delta and Min Delta Value. It would require a simple calculation (Max Delta MINUS Min Delta) and I hope would be displayed as a value in a new section at the base of the chart window? It just saves constant mental calculation of the value. 2. On the footprint chart the numbers are generally displayed in black but will display in red if the sell volume is 3 times the buy volume at a certain price level and it shows green if the buy volume is 3 times the sell volume at a given price level. Is it possible to set up an audible alarm when the numbers change from black to either green or red? Thanks again in advance for any help you may be able to give. Reg |

Your questions are not really "Programming Help", so you did not need to mark it as such. Programming Help is for help with ACSIL or involved Spreadsheet items. We do not typically respond to Programming Help items (and we often are the ones that set it). To answer your questions: 1) The item at the bottom of your window is the Numbers Bars Calculated Values study. There are numerous options available that can be displayed, although the difference between the Maximum Ask Volume Bid Volume Difference and the Minimum Ask Volume Bid Volume Difference per bar is not specifically available (there is a cumulative sum of the difference). Look through the options at the following link to see if any of these are what you are looking for: Numbers Bars: Numbers Bars Calculated Values Subgraph Descriptions If you can not find exactly what you want, then you can use the Study Subgraphs Difference study to subtract the two items and get the result. There is not a way to get the new data to show up in the table that makes up the Numbers Bars Calculated Values, but you can display the result as a number by using the Draw Style of Value of Subgraph and setting the Width/Size to a value of around 10. You will have to play with it a bit, but you should get the idea and find how to display it the way you want. Refer to the following items for this: Study Subgraphs Subtract/Difference Chart Studies: Value of Subgraph (ACSIL: DRAWSTYLE_VALUE_OF_SUBGRAPH) 2. It can be done bit it is a bit messy. You have to check each level of the bar, which means a long Alert string. To give you the start of what you need it would look like the following just to check the first 3 levels for the Bid 3 times the Ask: =OR(BVAP(L, 0) > 3 * AVAP(L, 0), BVAP(L + TICKSIZE * 1, 0) > 3 * AVAP(L + TICKSIZE * 1, 0), BVAP(L + TICKSIZE * 2, 0) > 3 * AVAP(L + TICKSIZE * 2, 0)) You would need to continue that above for however many price levels there could be in a bar. Refer to the Alert information at the following link: Study/Chart Alerts And Scanning: Special Functions For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing Date Time Of Last Edit: 2023-02-03 16:05:40

Hi, Thank you so much for taking the time to explain so comprehensively the possible answers to my questions. I will take a few days to try and understand it all and put it into action. Once again, thank you so much. All the best, |
