When you get a minute do you think you could let me know how I can get a mid indicator on Sierra for the pit session of oil please that updates throughout the session (like FT71 has on his IRT charts) please? I’ve used the Sierra website online to get the Daily OHLC indicator showing the current mid, but it draws it as a single horizontal line updated to the current mid (see orange line on screenshot) rather than a dynamic moving average style line that shows the historical mid throughout the day (like FT71’s mid study on IRT).

Also, my Sierra number bars aren’t displaying the traded bid ask properly. You’ll see from the attached chart that pretty much every high and low has numbers on both sides of the bid/ask, which it shouldn’t as most highs and lows don’t trade all the way through and end up with a zero on one side. I’ve also attached my number bars settings. I’ve tried adjusting all the things I could think of but nothing seems to work. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers
Simon

There is no need to provide all of these screenshots.

And also when providing an image of a chart, we will only accept this method:
https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=PostingInformation.php#Image

You need to use the Daily OHLC study:
https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/TechnicalStudiesReference.html#s137

And set the Graph High Low Historically study Input to Yes.

We do not see an image of the Numbers Bars chart. Make sure you have Sierra Chart set for a tick by tick data configuration:
