You can not get the equivalent of "what I want it to look like" when using multiple columns. In this image, what you are seeing is a "Study/Price Overlay" of the main price graph where the candles are set to candlesticks with a very narrow width (controlled in Graphics Settings). This overlay is placed in the middle of location for a candle, and with a single column of the Numbers Bars displayed, this lines up exactly in the middle of the Bid/Ask prices. But when you have multiple columns this will not work (in general). There is one option with multiple columns for the Numbers Bars to get the overlaid candlesticks. To do this, you would need to have all 3 columns displayed and have your Bid x Ask numbers displayed in the 2nd column. Then the overlay will be in the middle of the second column, as that is the center of the candle area.

I kept only one column but still the candlesticks do not align - screenshot > Only-1-Current View I found someone who did it on youtube and copied their method and the candlesticks align for them - screenshot > Youtube - Sierra The following is link to the youtube video - 19 minutes in the video you will see the studies they have and the final view https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=roKTRyzhA0Y&t=1016s |

Are you certain those bars are from the same chart? Is the "Study/Price Overlay" set to overlay the same chart that the Numbers Bars are on and then the "Main Price Graph" for the graph to overlay? Also, make sure your "Study/Price Overlay" scale is set to either "Automatic" or "Same as Region". Refer to the following: Chart Studies: Settings and Inputs Tab >> Scale We have attached a chartbook that has a the setup as you are wanting it. Use this as a template to figure out what you need to do. We have set the symbol to F.US.EPH24, so you should be able to just open the chartbook and have it working.

You need to change the Width of the Candlesticks to be very narrow. In the chartbook we provided they are set to 5%. This setting is in "Chart >> Graphics Settings >> Other". Note that the graphics settings are set to be controlled for that chart individually. If you were to make the change in the Global Graphics settings, then all your candlesticks would be narrow, which is probably not what you want.

Are there any data limitation or data discrepancies in historical data for footprint chart or will the data be as accurate as loading a tick based historical intraday chart. I want to look back in time on a day and see what the footprint chart looked like…be a range/time based footprint chart |

First of all, please note that the exchanges that you had active for the Denali Exchange Data Feed did not renew this morning since you did not have enough funds in your account at that time. You can add funds and then re-activate the exchanges at the following link: https://www.sierrachart.com/UserControlPanel.php?page=RecurringServices -- The data will be as accurate as the underlying data that makes up the historical chart. Since you are using our Denali Exchange Data Feed, the data for the CME Group is 1 tick data going back to 2011. So the Numbers Bars information is going to be accurate going back that far, as long as you have the setting for "Global Settings >> Data/Trade Service Settings >> Common Settings >> Intraday Data Storage Time Unit" is set to "1 tick". Refer to the following: Data/Trade Service Settings: Intraday Data Storage Time Unit (Global Settings >> Data/Trade Service Settings >> Common Settings >> Common Settings) For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

I reactivated the exchanges, thank you 1) So if i open a new intraday chart and load 500 days data the numbers bar study and numbers bars calculated values will show data for all days. In the past someone had indicated for footprint chart the day you open the chart from such day forward only data is captured and the footprint chart needs to be loaded on all times to capture such data to then go back in time and reference. 2) Also i changed the width of candlestick. Thank you for that but, after changing the width of candlestick the wicks are not pronounced (mostly for red candles). Is there some other setting in need to change?

1) Since you are getting the data from our Denali Exchange Data Feed, you will get the full information for the 500 days. We can not say exactly what someone meant then they said the data would only be good from when you connect and going forward, but this is a problem with other data providers, as they do not always have the historical data with the full Bid/Ask information. 2)Check the following in "Chart >> Graphics Settings - Chart" - Bar High-Low Down - Bar High-Low Up In particular, the "Width" setting for these. It looks like these are set to a value of "2", and you probably want them to be "1".
