Hello, Need help with the following two studies - 1) Numbers Bars - I'm using this study in my chart (setup as 5 points range). Refer to "current chart" image that shows ES symbol dated 9th Jan 2026. But I wanted my chart to display same numbers as "Desired chart" image which I got from youtube tutorial for the same symbol and date/time, which is also built using the same 5 points range. Please also refer to the image named "Current chart - Numbers Bars study settings" that shows how I've configured this study in my current chart. Please advise what changes I've to incorporate to make my chart numbers looks same as Desired chart. 2) Volume By Price - I want to be able to see the number (delta at price) like how it's shown in "Desired chart" image but not able to figure out how to configure this setting. For eg: at price 6960, total positive delta shown as 1964. Can you help me with that? |

1. We do not see any specific difference in the two Numbers Bars charts. So we do not understand what it is you are asking for. 2. Refer to the following Input and the one below it: Volume By Price Study: Display Volume in Bars For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

In current chart.jpg, last candle was created at 10:09:42 and the total volume (column 2) at 6960 shows 249 with -35 delta. In Desired_chart.jpg, last candle was created at 10:09:43 and the total volume (column 2) at 6960 shows 1015 with 413 positive delta. So, I'm looking to understand why these numbers are different? |

We see that all the values are not the same, so this is not about a single value that is not matching up. Given that all the data is not an exact match, there are any number of possible reasons for this. Here are a few of them: - Different Session Times - Different data sources - Different chart settings - particularly with regards to "New Bar at Session Start" and "Split Records". You would need to know how the person you are trying to emulate has their chart setup in order to try to mimic it. But in the end, what you need to understand that it does not matter. You may get close, but not perfect, but what you are seeing in your chart is correct for your setup and situation. So it does not matter that you do not have the exact same numbers.
