1) I am looking to add an alert to a Footprint chart that would trigger when Delta on a bar is over a certain value but price is stagnate and unaffected by buyers/sellers at that level. For example if Delta> 150 and price on ES has not moved up more than 3 ticks. I've attached a screen shot and bar @ 15:50:59 is the bar I am looking to trigger an alert for if anyone has a better formula solution so that I am automatically alerted of absorption occurring. 2) I have recently switched to a bar by volume chart and I am getting these large candles that are not aligned with the DOM/bid ask values as shown in the picture, any advice on how I can have these more accurately aligned? Thank you in advance! |

1. You would need to use the "Volume at Price Threshold Alert V2" to get the information when there is a delta over a certain value. You would then combine that with a check of the price to see if it within the range you want. For example, you would use a formula like the following to test if the price is within 2 ticks of the first alert from the Volume at Price Threshold Alert V2: =AND(ID1.SG1, C > ID1.SG1 - TICKSIZE * 2, C < ID1.SG1 + TICKSIZE * 2) You would then need to add an OR function and test additional Volume at Price Threshold Alert V2 triggers. If there is the potential for a lot of triggers to occur within a bar, then you might want to consider using the Spreadsheet System for Alerts instead. 2. You are overlaying a time based chart to get the bars. You need to overlay the Main Price Graph from the same chart to get what you want.

Hi John, Thank you for getting back to me. 1A. I went through the VAP v2 reference file and still a bit lost as to how I can approach creating this. It is most likely that I am new to Sierra and Footprint charts and the concept of reading and my understanding delta is primary. I've attached a script that I was able to get ChatGPT to create(attached) but having difficulties opening the notepad via the editor option on build advanced custom study. Would you be able to direct me as to how I can implement this code as a study and so I can tweak/adjust to see if it delivers the info I am looking for? 1b)I would like to have your formula as a reference study to see which I like better, would you be able to direct me where I can learn more about how to configure this study? I don't know what kind of OR function I'd need to implement (I am using 2500V bar chart) 2. Fixed ty! |

Don't worry about using the Sierra Chart editor, any editor will work, including the Windows Notepad. Follow the instructions at the following link for how to build a custom study: How to Build an Advanced Custom Study from Source Code All of the information for creating alerts is on the following page: Study/Chart Alerts And Scanning For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

After using footprint charts with John’s recommended formula I am reaching out to the community/or John to see if I can get some assistance in modifying it to show me accurate levels of absorption. I am currently using a 5000T footprint chart and since switching over to Denali data feed over the IBKR data I am getting more accurate data which I can finally rely on. My question is how would I go about modifying the formula or where can I understand where and what each part of the formula means(I am currently not using an OR function as I don’t know how to.) I’ve attached a screenshot, in specific 9:16:22, 9:30 and 9:34:50 candles seem to be red candles with buying pressure creating wicks pushing price back up even though delta is negative price is holding firm. I would like to get a trigger a symbol/alert on the chart which I have currently but not sure under what conditions it is currently being trigger, this week it showed up once where a large order on the ask side appeared 15:44:01 on the second screenshot. This was a helpful trigger as price quickly ran up I’m assuming because this was someone hitting the ask with a large order, I activated the trigger symbol on the absorption v2 study and this showed up but I don’t see where I can meddle with the settings for this to trigger more often. What I am ultimately looking to have/replicate is what this trader is using on ninja trader which he has told me is possible and probably even better on Sierracharts He is saying that a computer churns a massive amount of tick data and outputs the absorption levels. (I’m guessing DOM or footprint data?) These levels can be exported to a platform and be presented in the form of an indicator that draws these lines. (I am okay with this being displayed right on the footprint chart) He uses strong orderflow absorption level that is detected by an algo and is timeframe independent (as it is based on volume and not time) If anyone uses something like this in their own trading can you please help a fellow trader out with this issue I’ve been racking my brain over? John’s formula: 1. You would need to use the "Volume at Price Threshold Alert V2" to get the information when there is a delta over a certain value. You would then combine that with a check of the price to see if it within the range you want. For example, you would use a formula like the following to test if the price is within 2 ticks of the first alert from the Volume at Price Threshold Alert V2: =AND(ID1.SG1, C > ID1.SG1 - TICKSIZE * 2, C < ID1.SG1 + TICKSIZE * 2) You would then need to add an OR function and test additional Volume at Price Threshold Alert V2 triggers. Thank you so much for your time in helping me on this, and I apologize in advance if my understanding on this and formulas is elementary. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2024-07-14 02:07:00

I am also interested in this topic. I am not able to create the alert because I don't understand the formula given by John. I know the operators at least.

Here is a formula that tests the first and second Volume at Price Threshold Alerts to see if the price is within 2 ticks of either alert: =OR(AND(ID1.SG1, C > ID1.SG1 - TICKSIZE * 2, C < ID1.SG1 + TICKSIZE * 2), AND(ID1.SG2, C > ID1.SG2 - TICKSIZE * 2, C < ID1.SG2 + TICKSIZE * 2)) For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
