I have looked all over and I can't find anything that explains what the numbers at the top and bottom of the values in the Bid Pull/Stack column represent. I thought it might be a sum of the values but when I set it to a small number, it doesn't add up. Thanks for the help!

Those are the sums of the pulling/stacking for each side. How are you limiting the Pulling/Stacking levels? You should be using the following setting: Global Trade Settings Windows: Maximum Bid/Ask Market Depth Pulling/Stacking Levels (Global Settings >> Chart DOM Settings >> Other >> Other Settings) For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

Ah, its each side, I see now. Yes that looks correct. Thanks for the clarification!

Actually, upon further review, I am still confused. See the attached file. The the crude yellow line is the current price. Everything above the line adds up to much more than -14, and everything below it is much more than 53. Am I not looking at this right?

To be certain you have everything updated and viewing all the consistent data, select "File >> Disconnect". Then look at the values for the Pulling/Stacking and add them up. They should match - we just double checked this and it is working properly for us.

Thanks for the reply! Please see the attached file. The numbers above the price add up to +358 and -15 for a total of 343. The numbers below price add up to +239 and -85 for a total of 154. I can't figure out how the totals show +550 and -378. The total of all the negative numbers in that range is only -100. Could those be the total pull/stack numbers from the entire depth? Otherwise I'm not sure. Please let me know what you think. |

Please do the following for us. Instead of using a single column for both Bid/Ask, please add the separate Pulling/Stacking Bid/Ask columns to the chart. Then after you have some data built up in those columns select "File >> Disconnect" then take an image so we can see the data in both columns along with the totals. We will then see what is occurring from there.

On the "Trade >> Chart DOM Settings" window, what are the following items set to: - Max Bid/Ask Depth Pulling/Stacking Levels - Limit Maximum Pulling/Stacking Value to Current Depth Quantity - Add Trade Volume to Pulling/Stacking Value for Price For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

Trade >> Chart DOM Settings: - Max Bid/Ask Depth Pulling/Stacking Levels = 0 - Limit Maximum Pulling/Stacking Value to Current Depth Quantity = YES - Add Trade Volume to Pulling/Stacking Value for Price = YES Chart >> Chart Settings: - Maximum Market Depth Pulling Stacking Levels (0 = all levels) = 120 |

Somehow the setting for "Chart >> Chart Settings >> Market Depth >> Maximum Market Depth Pulling Stacking Levels" is causing an issue for the totals of the pulling/stacking data. We will have to look into this, but everything is focused on getting the new tabs and title bars changes done, so this may take a bit before we can get to it. The workaround for now, is to not limit the data using that Chart Settings option. If you use the setting for "Trade >> Chart DOM Settings >> Max Bid/Ask Depth Pulling/Stacking" then you will get the correct sums.

... @John-SC Support @BA_Trades ... sorry guys to jump on this-could it be: "Add Trade Volume to Pulling/Stacking Value for Price=YES"---->set it to: NO ! I would try on my own but it's Saturday; anyway I have it set to "NO" All the best |

But regardless if 'Add Trade Volume...' is set to Yes or No, the summary number should be the result of that pulling/stacking column. If I'm wrong, then please clarify what exactly the summation number is calculating.

@User708541 ... No worries...it must be me...I was thinking this: 1. set to YES: it calculates limit orders added/stacked or removed/pulled then doing analogy with executed orders where lifting offer would be calculated as pulling and hitting bid as stacking 2. set to NO: it calculates "clean" dynamics of limit orders moved around and any executed trade is not taken into account Please do not rely on my interpretation Check it out with Wizards from SIERRA CHART ... Note out of scope: it took me some time to sort out the brilliance of DENALI data feed and elimination the term "between Bid&Ask" and totally aligning itself with CME trade reporting; making "aggressor side" term so adequate and simple !!! Wish you all the best; following |

@BA_Trades @User708 ... Just tested-works fine with "Add Trade Volume To Pulling Stacking Value For Price" set to "No" !!! |

We had originally thought that same thing, but we tested those options ourselves to see where the problem was. In the end, we found that it is related to when you limit the Pulling/Stacking using the option in the Chart Settings. We will get this resolved, but it is just going to take a bit of time as we are so very busy fixing up the UI stuff we are working on.

... @John-SC Support @anyone interested in this ... This is my setting that has been tested-works !!! Chart Settings-->Market Depth: Maximum Market Depth Pulling Stacking Levels (0=all levels)----->30 Trade-->Chart DOM Settings: Max Bid/Ask Depth Pulling/Stacking Levels (0=All)--------------->30 (this determines size) !!! Limit Maximum Pulling Stacking Value To Current Depth Quantity-->Yes Add Trade Volume To Pulling Stacking Value For Price------------>No I set level to 30; am running vertical 34" monitor just for DOM and its Magic !!! Hopefully this helps |

That works because you have the Global setting for "Max Bid/Ask Depth Pulling/Stacking" set to the same value as the chart specific "Maximum Market Depth Pulling Stacking Levels". If the chart specific one was set to something different, such as "20", then you would not get the correct value. We know where the issue is, but we just need some time to get it fixed.

... @John-SC Support FYI-Just want to report that line: "Max Bid/Ask Depth Pulling/Stacking Levels (0=All)" doesn't hold set value; whatever number you set it will go back to zero (0) next time you power up SIERRA CHART !!! (or it could be designed that way) Wish you all the best in your effort to make SIERRA CHART perfect |

blt: We are not able to reproduce this in the most recent Pre-Release version of Sierra Chart. It probably has already been fixed. But given that the Pre-Release has the changes for the tabs and windows, we understand if you do not want to update at this time.

Thanks for everyone's help on this! Quick question....is it possible to pull the total stacked and pulled number into a Text Display for Study or a Study Subgraph Above/Below Price so I can see it on the chart rather than the DOM column?

The reference you give is the correct way to get that data in the way you want.

Could someone please explain how to interpret the "Add Trade Volume to Pulling Stacking Value For Price" setting to me? I found this in the references but its just not clicking for me "When this option is set to Yes then when a trade occurs at a price level that trade quantity is reflected in the Bid/Ask Pulling/Stacking quantity at that level." |
