Hello,

I am having an issue with the Footprint (Numbers Bars) display in Sierra Chart.

The numbers inside the candles are not clear and very hard to read. I tried changing colors and settings, but the problem is still there.

I want to display the footprint data (Bid/Ask Volume or Delta) clearly, preferably outside the candles or in a way that is easier to read.

Also, I would like to know:
- What are the best settings for clear footprint visualization?
- Is it possible to show the footprint on the side of the chart instead of inside the candles?

I am using [ package 12 }
Please guide me step by step.

Thank you.

Most likely what you are referring to is a scaling issue. Refer to the following:
Numbers Bars: Scaling a Numbers Bars Chart

There is no magic set of settings that we can tell you to use for the Numbers Bars. You need to set it up as you want and then adjust the scaling to be able to view the data. There is a tradeoff between being able to read the information and being able to view the bars. This is just the nature of the study and is something you need to work through to determine the best setup for what you want.

In terms of the bars, refer to the following and the next 4 items, for the options to display markers with the Numbers Bars:
