hello, how do I compress the time axis to see a tick chat of a high volume instrument such as SPY for the ENTIRE DAY IN A 200PX WIDE window? Decrease space bar at its max allows only 2minutes of data. almost every other software offers this IMPORTANT feature. If this is not present in sierra, can this be added in the next release?

There are definitely no plans to add this. The way this is accomplished in Sierra Chart is by increasing the timeframe of the chart bars. We really do not understand this concept. It comes across as quite illogical to us but we have not seen this in other programs. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.

1.Actually it is very logical, very popular and very powerful. 2. It is available in ever program I have ever used. I have been trading for 35 years full time. 3. It allows one to see details that are not visible on higher time frame charts. 4. very useful to see OBV which represents true money flow for the entire day. see attached image

+1 for the request. I've often wanted to do the same thing.

increasing time frame does not provide the important info. With this exception sierra seems complete and I like what I see so far. Perhaps there is another way I sierra. I AM INTERESTED IN SEEING A CHART OF VOLUME AT ASK - VOLUME AT BID FOR THE ENTIRE DAY INCLUDING CURRENT TREND AND ALSO DIVERGENCES OF THIS DIFFERENCE WITH THE PRICE ACTION. thx for your help. I will appreciate if you can suggest how to accomplish this.

This can be done by using the Volume by Price study: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_VolumeByPrice.php The volume bars will display Bid Volume and Ask Volume and also you can display these values numerically.
