Hello, I would like to configure my Numbers bars with split bid/ask display to show the open/close boxes in the middle of bid/ask bars; this is how it shows now: https://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1762983150676.png The attached two screenshots of other tools shows the desired position of the open/close indicator.

To get a bar displayed in the middle of the Numbers Bars, you need to use the "Study/Price Overlay" and overlay the <Main Price Graph> from the same chart back onto itself. Refer to the following: Study/Price Overlay Study If you are using a Candlestick, then you will want to set the width of the candlestick to be very thin to fit into the Numbers Bars. Refer to the following for this: Graphics Settings: Candlestick Width % (Global Settings >> Graphics Settings >> Other) For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

Thank you John, your piece of advice was spot on and promptly given. You can see the result below: https://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1762987921267.png As a result from applying the overlay, the candles are using the colors defined in the global settings; is there any chance to use custom colors for body and outline of these? Also, it is very small but perceptible: the overlay candles are not exactly centered with the underlying Number bars: they are a bit to the right. In fact, by the looks of it is the number bars that are placed left of the center, of the amount of space that separates the bid and ask bars. Is there any setting to enfore an arbitrary left/right X offset to either the overlay study or the numbers bars? Lastly, and apologies if this may seem out of scope, but I set the Column 1 Bid X Ask text to scale from 0 to 9, except that when it's too little I'd rather have it disappear as it only becomes a nuisance, like in the screenshot below: https://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1762988416889.png Is there any way to have the Bid X Ask text only appear after a certain level of zooming? Thank you again! |

You can change the colors of the Bars in the Subgraphs for the Study/Price Overlay. You will need to change the Input for "Use Colors from Source Study" to "No" first, and then select Apply, and then you can change the colors defined for the Open/High/Low/Close in the Subgraphs. Refer to the following: Study/Price Overlay Study: Use Colors from Source Study Chart Studies: Subgraphs Tab >> Color -- The overlay is exactly in the center of the "bar" that is the Numbers Bars. Thre are multiple options for what is displayed in between the Bid and Ask numbers. One of the other options may give you what you want. Refer to the following: Numbers Bars: Numbers Separator Character -- There is not an option to have the numbers not display after a certain zoom level. You would have to manually turn off the display of the numbers. For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
