Hi gcUserStudies, Thank you for the follow up. Yes, by "big delta" highlighting I meant "Per-price imbalance". After further testing, I feel a little bit overwhelmed by the Histogram column. I deleted them. For my trading strategy, I need to track ES, NQ, YM and RTY side by side... That's a lot of information to ingest. So I try to limit the quantity of informations to the minimum (market depth columns and Recent Bid/Ask column are enough) The two Histogram columns (*4 markets = 8 more columns on my screen) were too much for me and it took too much space. Reducing to one Histogram combined column would be better and easier to read. But the [b]best of the best[/b] would be to find a way to show the Per-Price Imbalance directly inside the Recent Ask/Bid Columns => No more added column => easiest to read. This is what I had in mind when I made the suggestion in my last post. If #2 doesn't cover it and you want the highlight directly on the Recent Bid/Ask cell (like the volume highlight), let me know. One design question in that case, if a cell meets both the volume threshold AND the delta threshold at the same time, which highlight should take priority? Or would you prefer it as a single toggle, either highlight by volume OR by delta, not both simultaneously?
I would suggest to make the Volume Highlight not Per-Side detection but Per-Price instead. So when it triggers, it colors both Recent Ask and Bid Column at price.Then, for the Per-Price Imbalance Highlight, only color the Dominant Side. If both are triggered at the same price, the Per-Price Imbalance Highlight would be drawn on top of the Volume Highlight, so both are visible. One more quick suggestion to make your study more versatile : Add a user input to deactivate the "Tail effect" rendering completely and let SierraChart renders the Recent Bid/Ask text as native. Why would someone want to disable the Tail effect ? 1- It would be useful for users who just want to use your study to show the secondary tools like the Histogram column, the HUD, the Delta Display for Tail Volume, or the future Highlight Recent Per-Price Volume/Imbalance. 2- It would be useful to make sure the printed text is 100% accurate to the Data Feed Data as your study accuracy is dependent of the Chart Update Interval. |
