Post From: Setup of a Draw Volume Profile

Hi,

Did Sierra Chart freeze or your entire system?
Not at all, but Sierra Chart didn't answer anymore for a very long time,

I could come from the step I followed and from the fact that I tries several things that I do not understand clearly
(By the way I didn't say there was a problem with your system (don't feel "guilty" at each time, my sytsem works fine, yours too, I'm sure), but there are things I don't understand, and doing so it has consequences... (no?):

I looked at your documentation, and the only thing I found which ws close from my search was
Global Settings > Tools Config > Draw Volume Profile

Then instead of finding the parameters of the Voulme Profile, I found an indirection to "Chart Study Collection".
And it confused me, so I tries several things.

(And I understand perfectly why it could have locked your system, I'm looking for solutions, not finding problems where there aren't any.
You helped me a lot in pointing to the right part of your documentation for understanding why it is important to install yur program at the root and not on "Program Files". It is well (and perfectly clearly) documented, but very surprising within Windows 7. For someone who has a long backgroung with older systems, it is clear, but surprising on Windows 7)

For me I was like a pointer.
BUT as a matter of fact I don't understand clerly what is a Collection and "Clean Chart" concept
I went to your documentation and it didn't help me.

The only thing I found was "Volume by Price" Study which applies only to the all chart, and this is not what I'm looking for.

So where should I look at to attain my goal (prvious message)

Regards

Burt
