Hi there,

I am able to color bars based on bid or ask volume, but when I got to use bid or ask trades, it just colors all the bars. I am able to color based on total # of trades, but would like to color based on Bid trades and ask trades separately.

Is that possible?

Thanks,

AG

Set Sierra Chart to a Tick by Tick Data Configuration. Follow the instructions here to do this:
Tick by Tick Data Configuration

Most likely Sierra Chart is not currently set for a tick by tick configuration and this is the reason for the issue.

Actually, exactly how are you referencing this?:
bid or ask trades

And are you referring to the number of trades at the bid or ask?

Yes, I am set to 1 tick.

Attached is my issue. When I use the the "number of trades" study, the color bar above/below options matches up with a "# of trades" option.. When I put on "number of trades bid", or "number or trades ask", there is no option to match on the color bar above/below study. "# of trades", or "bid volume", or "ask volume" do not work or match.

if there is NO solution here, I am looking for a study that can show me small trades, or the amount of small trades per bar. Can you reccomned one?

Thanks

We would have to test this, but the solution for this is to base that particular Color Bar study on the Number of Trades-Ask or Bid study:

Tried the Above. Still not working. It works for bid and ask volume perfect though.
