Post From: Color Setting Cumulated Last Trade Size

hi seandunaway,

i actually agree with everything you said in Incorrect Cumulative Last Size? Based on price and not price + type?

i was misled as well because i thought 114 red is 114 hitting the bid (https://www.sierrachart.com/Download.php?Folder=SupportBoard&download=30450) - so this Reset Cumulative Last Size on Bid/Ask Change option is great

as you said:
TT actually acknowledges this by using 3 colors, white for volume traded, and red or green only once when the aggressor changes.

I just find resetting the cumulative on bid/ask change infinitely more helpful when determining strength or weakness, especially in thinner and faster markets (anything but treasuries) where the mental math becomes impossible.

the point of these thread is to get the WHITE from tt into sc


in this example (https://www.sierrachart.com/Download.php?Folder=SupportBoard&download=30450) at 00:33:28

we should see on 2888.50 (as we would on tt):
82 red
98 white
135 white

with your Reset Cumulative Last Size on Bid/Ask Change option enabled, we should see:
82 red
16 green
37 red

except because it's all happening in the same second, we'd likely just see 37 red (while 82 red & 16 green flash by very quickly w/o the eyes registering)
