Thanks for the video, very helpful. I replayed the same session and can see what you are seeing.
You're welcome, all pleasure is for me. Again, thank you for your work.You have confirmed that Volume Below Threshold works as intended for you. Can you describe a specific scenario in the video where VBT does something you don't want? A timestamp and what you expected to happen vs what actually happened would be ideal. Also I assume the VBT is the one on the left?
Yes VBT is on the left in the video.at 6sec : the 112 x 110 (both High Vol Highlighted in grey) level get visited and become 0 x 110. The 110 now is mistakenly highlighted in green (positive delta imbalance at price). But the 110 is just a remnant volume, it is not new volume. Old volume shouldn't create new imbalance. It is misleading. At 9sec : the 92 x 84 level get visited and become 3 x 84. The 84 get green highlighted because delta is >75. Again, it is a false positive delta imbalance because it is old volume. At 13sec : the 105 x 63 becomes 105 x 0 and get highlighted in red. Same problem. As you can see, the False Flags only happen with the Delta Imbalance Highlight, it never happen with the High Volume Highlight. It is technically impossible to happen with Volume Highlight. To avoid these False Flags, the Delta Imbalance Highlight should only be calculated when : - For Ask Highlight : the calculation must occur only if there is a fresh print at the ASK at price level (fresh print = print more recent than the total tail duration). - For Bid Highlight : the calculation must occur only if there is a fresh print at the BID at price level. I think adding this condition to the calculation will fix the False Flag issue. Same question for New Volume Printed. Pick a specific moment in the video where a highlight should have cleared but didn't, or cleared but shouldn't have. What was the expected behavior at that moment?
It is hard for me to answer to this question because the New volume Printed setting is completely off for me. I don't even understand how it works, what it calculates.It creates Highlights everywhere, even if the High Volume and Delta Imbalance triggers values aren't met. The two modes have fundamentally different triggers. VBT clears when volume drops (SC resets the data). NVP clears when new volume trades above what was there at detection. Understanding which trigger matches your trading read will help me determine if one of these modes needs adjustment or if there is a third behavior that neither mode currently covers.
In my mind, there is no need of 2 different modes of calculation. Only one is enough. The only thing to fix (if possible) is the False Flags behavior.Also, if you don't mind sharing. Can you export your Preset for each side of the video and label them accordingly? Ie, just go to the Config tab and hit Export and it will let you save your study settings to a file. If you don't want to post them on the forums, you can just email them to me using the support email on my website.
Of course.You'll find the Preset file in the attached files. I only uploaded one because both DOM settings are the same. Only the Clear Condition setting is different. Finally, just double checking your other settings:
Here are the settings you requested.Reset Recent Bid/Ask Volume on Bid/Ask Change (Yes) Recent Bid Ask Volume Timeout in Milliseconds (1500ms) Clear Recent Bid Ask Volume Inactive Time in Milliseconds (0) Chart Update Interval In Milliseconds (30ms) GC study High Volume Highlight (100) GC study Delta Imbalance Highlight (75) GC study Tail Color Change (150ms) GC Color Levels (10) I told you I was done with suggestions... but I was wrong ! 6- Is it possible to add a setting to make the Big Prints Feature resilient to SierraChart Clear Recent Bid Ask Volume Inactive Time in Milliseconds ? It would allow users to use SC Clear Recent Bid Ask Volume Inactive Time in Milliseconds feature as a tail, and to keep the Big Prints highlighted until revisited. For now it is impossible to do so. The advantage of doing this would be to keep the Recent Printed Volume 100% true to SC Data Feed while keeping your study working only for the Big Prints/Histogram features => Best of both worlds for the traders that don't want to use the study Tail feature at all. 7- Also, it might be interesting to add another setting to make the Big Prints Feature resilient to the SC Keyboard Shortcut Clear Recent Bid/Ask Volume. 8- Also, if suggestion 1 becomes reality, it might be useful to add another setting to draw the Big Prints under/on top of SC Recent Volume. I would personally prefer to give SC Recent Volume priority over everything, and to draw the Big Prints under. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2026-04-01 16:09:03
