"Are you wanting to know when there is a gap in the traded price levels - that is, a particular price was not traded, but there is trading a the next price above and the next price below?"
Yes. I would like to have an extended line on my number bars from this particular gap.

Moreover:
I'm having a following issue - I've SC running on 2 separate PCs. When I connect the second one to the APEX Rithmic account it starts to incessantly redownload all the data on both computers. When I disconnect on one of them the second one works fine.

Also, when on Rithmic, executing and modyfing orders is much longer and clumsier than on your demo data. Would hopping on TETON help with this particular issue or is it so fast on SC data because it's a demo server? Could you explain in detail in what sense DENALI/TETON is considered an advantage over Rithmic data? Thank you.

Yes. I would like to have an extended line on my number bars from this particular gap.

To find the gap and have the price level for it, you would need to use the "Spreadsheet Formula" and have a condition that looks like the following (the Spreadsheet Formula, despite its name, uses the Alert Syntax):
=IF(AND(VAP(L + TICKSIZE * 1, 0) = 0, VAP(L + TICKSIZE * 2, 0) > 0), L + TICKSIZE * 1, IF(AND(VAP(L + TICKSIZE * 2, 0) = 0, VAP(L + TICKSIZE * 3, 0) > 0), L + TICKSIZE * 2, 0))

The above just checks the first 2 levels above the Low. You would need to extend this to cover all the price levels you would find for the way your bars are setup. And it will only give a value when there is a gap of 1 price, as this makes sure that you are not looking at data above the High of the bar. If there is a gap of 2 price levels, this will not find it.

Then use the "Color Bar Based on Alert Condition" to get the extension line. Refer to the following:

I'm having a following issue - I've SC running on 2 separate PCs. When I connect the second one to the APEX Rithmic account it starts to incessantly redownload all the data on both computers. When I disconnect on one of them the second one works fine.

To start with, the Interface that Rithmic wrote to connect to Sierra Chart does not support multiple connections to the same account. So if you are trying to access the same account on both systems, this will not work.

Otherwise, refer to the following, as the most likely reason for what you are seeing:

Also, when on Rithmic, executing and modyfing orders is much longer and clumsier than on your demo data. Would hopping on TETON help with this particular issue or is it so fast on SC data because it's a demo server? Could you explain in detail in what sense DENALI/TETON is considered an advantage over Rithmic data?

First, you need to keep in mind that Teton only works with certain brokers and only for live trading with the CME Group. Prop firms, such as APEX, use Rithmic for their purposes and not Teton. Denali is our data feed and this could help you, but if the issue is really with responsiveness to trading, then this is a Rithmic issue and is not uncommon with them.

How can I make the columns closer to each other on TPO and letters more legible ?
Turning fonts from auto to bigger doesn't sort this out...

To bring the columns closer you need to decrease the bar spacing.

To show the letters more legibly, changing the font is one option. But the best way is to increase the "Letter/Block Price Increment in Ticks", as if this is a small value, you will have too many blocks and they will be difficult to see. Refer to the following:

It works, but makes the POCs show differently to the, say, M5 or Number of Trades 1 tick charts with the same VbP which I use alongside. Thus I can't go any less than 1 tick on TPO , it affects the POC even as much as 20 ticks.


I can't replay any delayed chart, for another matter. I tried today on GC and CL and I just click the button and nothing happens. Message log also doesn't keep track of it. I used it many times with delayed SC data and never had the issue.

Are you scrolling back to where you want to start the replay, or are you using the "Start from Date-Time" option?

If using the "Start from Date-Time", then you need ensure that you have data loaded for the date-time you are selecting. If you do not have data that goes back to that point in time, then the replay will not start.

How to make another timeframe POCs from VbP study display on another chart? Let's assume my most used is M5 with daily Vbp but I also frequently toggle between H4/H1 etc. where I 'm having monthly and weekly Vbp studies applied. I would just need their POCs transferred to M5/M1 without the need to put on another study on them. ( It'd make me to provide the appropriate day count far back and the charts become veeery slow this way. )

Regarding the replay : it won't even pop the menu up. It's just clicking the button that won't do anything. No chance to even get to defining what I want to do with it.
