Hellow ! I need a tool like a count down timer but showing the size of the last bar (like how many pips there were from minimum to maximum) Is there anything like that in Sierra? |

The "Countdown Timer" has an Input for "Display Remaining Range in Ticks", so if you are using a Range Bar you can use this option to get that information. If you really are wanting the range of the last bar, then you can put together a series of studies to do this, specifically using the Arithmetic Studies. Refer to the following: Using the Basic Arithmetic Studies And then finally displaying what you want with the "Text Display for Study". Refer to the following: Text Display For Study A somewhat easier solution is to use the "Spreadsheet Formula" study. In this case, the formula is setup using the Alert syntax. So to get the range of the current bar in price, you would use the following formula: =H - L Refer to the following: Spreadsheet Formula Then use the "Text Display for Study" again to display it prominently where you want it. Also refer to the following regarding how to setup alert formulas: Study/Chart Alerts And Scanning For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

You can use two studies if you want the previous bar size in points. Three studies if you want it in ticks: Add the Average True Range study. Set the moving average length to 1. Add the Text Display for Study study. Set the Study and Subgraph to Display to the ATR study. Set the Subgraph Columns Back to 1. This will show the size of the last bar in points. If you want to show the number of ticks instead: Add a third study - the Study Subgraph in Ticks study. Set the Based On setting to the ATR study, with the Input Data set to ATR. For the Text Display for Study, set it to show this study instead of the ATR study. Now the Text Display will show the number of ticks of the last bar (Subgraph Columns Back = 1, same as before). Now you can play around with the colors & location of the output. |
