I would like to know if there are any configuration settings to allow the Volume Profile drawing tool to incorporate a Delta Profile on the left side. Please see attached picture. If this is not currently possible then please let me know how to add a delta profile button. I currently have a VP drawing tool button but I cannot customize another button for Delta profile. I tried doing this in control bar 2 changing the settings of the volume profile to be a delta profile but it saves over my first VP settings. How can I have 2 different buttons for drawing these 2 different profiles on a chart. I also tried to assign a different TC for the delta profile (TC2). When drawing volume profile going to chart drawing properties and changing it to TC2 it does not change to delta profile. |

There is not a way to do this. We have noted this as a Feature Request. We can not say when we would get to any particular request. If this is not currently possible then please let me know how to add a delta profile button. I currently have a VP drawing tool button but I cannot customize another button for Delta profile. I tried doing this in control bar 2 changing the settings of the volume profile to be a delta profile but it saves over my first VP settings. How can I have 2 different buttons for drawing these 2 different profiles on a chart.
I also tried to assign a different TC for the delta profile (TC2). When drawing volume profile going to chart drawing properties and changing it to TC2 it does not change to delta profile. To get a Delta profile using the Drawn Volume Profile option, you need to have a second configuration setup to use a different Study Collection, where that Study Collection is setup to be the Delta profile. Refer to the following: Chart Drawing Tools: Creating Control Bar Buttons which Select Drawing Tool and Drawing Tool Configuration in One Step Volume By Price Study: Step by Step Instructions to Configure the Draw Volume Profile Tool For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

I have added the custom drawing tool as you said and chosen the volume profile. I drawn the volume profile on the graph then went to studies to modify it to a delta profile, after modifying it and setting those settings to default when I use a volume profile drawing tool it is a delta profile. There seems to be only one tool configuration/instance for VP in Sierra and changing the default settings to be a delta profile overwrites the normal VP settings. |

I would like to see this new feature implemented as well, since I now keep changing the volume to delta using the tool configuration button. Thanks, much appreciated.

Just like with all the drawing tools, there are 24 configurations that can be setup for the Drawn Volume Profile. So you need to setup separate configurations for what you want from each one, and use the appropriate configuration when drawing the profile for what you want of that profile.

I have went through the instructions but still having trouble with this. Just to keep things simple as I understand to set up another configuration for a volume profile I will draw the volume profile then right click and press "volume profile settings" change the volume bar calculation method (ln:48) from total volume to ask volume - bid volume (making it a delta profile). Then Apply. After that I will right click again press "chart drawing properties" then config choose for example TC2 and save. Now if drawing volume profile I should be able to go to chart drawing properties and select to load TC2 and it should change to a delta profile. However this does not happen. I have no problem with other tools like drawing a ray and selecting another TC2 or 3. It changes. But not the Volume profile draw tool. I am not sure what I am missing. |

What you are doing is not how it works for the Drawn Volume Profile or the Drawn VWAP. These items use a Study Collection to define the setup for the particular configuration. So you need to use a combination of the following instructions: Chart Drawing Tools: Creating Control Bar Buttons which Select Drawing Tool and Drawing Tool Configuration in One Step Volume By Price Study: Step by Step Instructions to Configure the Draw Volume Profile Tool For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

Thank you, I managed to do this. I was not saving as a single study collection. |

Glad I found this thread, I’m testing the free version and couldn’t figure it out! I’m hoping the confusion with the chart setup pays off, either way I will be waiting until this is available before purchase

Would love this feature as the initial user requested. That platform screenshot he sent is from ATAS and it is very nice. Would love to see that feature incorporated to sierra.... Thank you guys for making/supporting my favorite platform by far in SC'
