Hi,

I just signed up for a trial and am having troubles with your numbers bars.
The volume traded per price inside the bar isn't correct. I used the SC trial feed and compared the values with a CQG Continuum feed on Ninja.

Sierra shows different values which just can't be correct.
At example, market makes a low, only 22 contracts trade at the bid and then price goes back up.
Sierra shows 21 contracts traded at the bid and 6 contracts at the offer. At the same price. Suggesting the market went offer at that price which it never did.

Also sometimes a 2 range bar expands over 4 prices while duplicating the values from the high/low.

I've attached some screenshots on which I highlighted the bars. It's a Bund futures chart.

Regards

Apparently you did not follow the instructions on the Numbers Bars documentation page and did not set Sierra Chart for a tick by tick data configuration:

Hi Executor,

You just need to adjust your vertical scale so it is less compressed.

adjusting the vertical scale did not do anything

Refer to the documentation here for scaling Numbers Bars:
http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/NumbersBars.php#Scaling

Based upon what we see in that chart image,, the first thing we recommend you do is select Chart >> Reset Scales. And use an Automatic Scale Range:
