Hello Sierra Chart Team, I am developing a custom ACSIL study that reads Volume By Price data using: * sc.GetNumPriceLevelsForStudyProfile() * sc.GetVolumeAtPriceDataForStudyProfile() The native Volume By Price study is configured as follows: * Time Period Type = Days * Time Period Length = 1 * Start Time = 18:00 * Ticks Per Volume Bar = 2 * Display Volume In Bars = Diagonal Ask Volume - Bid Volume * Volume Bar Calculation Method = Diagonal Ask Volume - Bid Volume My objective is to understand how the native Volume By Price study internally determines: 1. The width of the blue profile bars. 2. The green buyer-dominance component. 3. The red seller-dominance component. Using ACSIL I can access: * Volume * AskVolume * BidVolume * NumberOfTrades * PriceInTicks However, after extensive testing, none of the following reproduce the native profile shape: * Volume * AskVolume + BidVolume * AskVolume - BidVolume * Abs(AskVolume - BidVolume) * Max(AskVolume, BidVolume) Questions: 1. Does the native Volume By Price renderer use additional diagonal bid/ask values that are not exposed through s_VolumeAtPriceV2? 2. Are Diagonal Ask Volume and Diagonal Bid Volume available through ACSIL? 3. Is there an ACSIL function or structure that exposes the exact values used internally when: * Display Volume In Bars = Diagonal Ask Volume - Bid Volume * Volume Bar Calculation Method = Diagonal Ask Volume - Bid Volume 4. If these values are not exposed, is it possible to access the already-computed profile widths generated by the native Volume By Price study? Thank you. |
