I need some help with my Sierra Chart settings. I am currently using version 2807 (64-bit). Footprint / Numbers Bars Issue (NQ and GC) On my ES chart, the Numbers Bars (footprint) look clean and readable, but when I apply the same settings to NQ and GC, the footprint looks much worse, the text is unclear, and I cannot get the vertical bars on price to appear. It seems like something is wrong only with those symbols. Zooming Problem on ES Footprint On the ES footprint chart, I need to zoom in a lot on each candle to clearly see the orders and volume inside the bar. Is there a way to make the footprint display readable without needing to zoom so much? I would like the footprint size and text to always remain the same regardless of zoom level. Auto-Scroll / Follow Price I cannot find the setting that makes the chart automatically move with price. For example, when price goes up, I want the chart to follow it automatically without me needing to manually scroll. Could you please advise me which settings I should change to fix these issues? Thank you! |

The Numbers Bars study is a tradeoff of the amount of data you are viewing versus what you can actually view comfortably. In other words, there is no perfect situation that will apply across the board. You need to adjust your scaling based on the particular information at that time and what you want to view. That said, refer to the following for some general information on scaling the Numbers Bars: Numbers Bars: Scaling a Numbers Bars Chart In terms of zooming, if you want the font to stay the same, then make sure you are not using the option for "Font Size Mode" of "Automatic with Minimum/Maximum Limits". Refer to the following: Numbers Bars: Font Size Mode In terms of the chart scrolling, there are a number of scaling options to do different things. We are not certain what exactly you want, so look through the different options and try them out and see what will work best for what you want. Refer to the following: Chart Scale and Scale Adjusting: Scale Range (Scale Settings) For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
