Hi,

I am just wondering whether it is possible within Sierra Chart to automatically calculate cum delta of certain bars? Let's assume I want to calculate cum delta of the first and last 7 3 min bars of a session or cum delta of bars, where number of contracts/second was > x. The easier option would be to calculate cum delta of bars where volume exceeded certain size, but I can't even find this. If it is not possible, could I achieve it least via the paint bar alert condition?

When using the Cumulative Delta Bars study, to only base it upon certain bars, requires that you only set the chart to display those bars only through the Chart Settings:
Chart Settings

or cum delta of bars, where number of contracts/second was > x. The
There is no support like this.

You can set a Volume Filter for a chart though:

Hi,

Thank you for your answer,

I do understand I can filter out certain volume, however I am not looking to do this. Let's assume on a certain bar volume spikes to 1000 contracts, when average is 200. I want to capture the event and add to a calculation. If all the trades are broken to 1 contract, and I set up 10 contracts as a filter, I will miss a whole picture. As you are aware in modern markets most big orders are broken down into smaller ones, as a result the filter is kind of irrelevant. Do you have any other ideas, how to at least on the 5 minutes chart capture bars with a certain volumes and then calculate cum delta of just these bars.

So the logic would look like:

if vol of x bar is 1000 > add this to a bucket. This is for example is a1. Another similar event a2.

at the end of the day a total bucket will equal to the sum of all a's as:

total cum delta = a1+a2+a3....

Thank you for the help.

You really would have to custom program something like this using ACSIL:
Advanced Custom Study Interface and Language (ACSIL)

You can modify the existing Cumulative Delta Bars-Volume study. Refer to:

Yes, we are aware of this.
