I hear what you are saying in post #13 buy my two cents:

1. The sierra large trade dots have a setting - auto size based on visible so it does adjust the size of dots based on what is visible at the moment. So, if a 2000 trade was the largest on screen it would be the biggest but if a 4000 appeared whilst the 2000 was on screen the 2000 one becomes a lot smaller.

2. I totally agree with you re the "pie shape" of the Jigsaw/Bookmap dots showing proportions of at bid and at ask. That would be a tremendous improvement if the Sierra dot could adopt that pie shape.
For the time being it does not, so I recommend you have some or all of the other tools at hand:
- time and sales (or multiple time and sales) window(s)
- numbers bars
- chart/trade dom columns
- volume bars split by at bid or at ask

Some or all of these tools help you achieve the same.

What I would not recommend is using both Sierra and Bookmap/Jigsaw at the same time.
There are lots of reasons but my simplest is that I'd rather get better at my craft on one than try and be a jack of all platforms (and yes, I own them all)
