Hi guys, I would like to see if there is a possibility of displaying the "Low Bid Volume Percent" or "High Ask Volume Percent" from the Number Bar Calculated Values on the chart itself--below the bar or above the bar. Here is the image. http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1537376959508.png If you see the "Low Bid Volume Percent" row, The values are 152,361,282 etc... I need this value to appear above the first BAR, second BAR etc. on the chart and not in the calculated values study and we display ONLY when its a red candle. Similarly, if you see "High Ask Volume Percent" on the last row , I need the value 378, 432, 1386 etc below the number bar on first , second, third bar etc on the chart itself and we display ONLY when its a green candle.

Yes, you need to use a combination of the Numbers Bars Calculated Values, Study Subgraph Above/Below Bar as Text, and the Color Bar Based on Alert Condition studies. Attached is a Study Collection that will do this for you. You can apply it to a regular chart or to a chart with the Numbers Bars on it. To use this Study Collection, follow the instructions here: Study Collections: Using a Study Collection Provided by Sierra Chart Support For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing

Thanks a lot. Appreciate the help. Although it always show the value on the TOP of the bar (I tried changing to display to low of bar but didnt work), I can live with it. If I really wanted to display at below the bar, I will contact you in coming days. Thanks.

Just change the Draw Style for the Color Bar Based on Alert Condition to Value on Low to draw it below the bar. For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing

Thanks a lot. Yes it works. (I dont know why was it not working earlier :)) One last question. Is it possible to display the Number Bars study as shown in the attached image ? (Candle in the center, and numbers on the side) It just looks near and tidy. Thanks in advance.

Could you please clarify how the low bid volume and high ask volume percentages were calculated? I cannot find anything in the documentation.

Because the Study Collection, by default, removes all other studies from a chart. In order to not do so, you need to change the name of the Study Collection so it has a plus sign (+) at the end of the name (such as StudyCollection+.StdyCollct). When you have the plus sign at the end of the name, then it will prompt you to delete other studies or not.

We see the option for "Prompt to Remove Existing Studies" is enabled in the image you provided, which implies that the Study Collection has the correct name. When you select "Analysis >> [StudyCollectionName]" you should be getting a prompt as to whether you want to remove existing studies or not. Refer to the following for how to apply a Study Collection: Study Collections: Applying a Study Collection to a Chart For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing

The LowBidHighAskAboveRedGreenBar.StdyCollct you shared on Post #2 is not working. Maybe an update to SC has made it non-functional? When trying to add the study collection nothing seems to happen and in the Message log there is the following entry: Invalid Study Collection header code. C:\SierraChart\Data\LowBidHighAskAboveRedGreenBar.StdyCollct. \| 2023-11-21 07:06:16.590 *

Yes, the study collection is old and needed to be updated. We have done this and attached the updated study collection to this thread. For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing
