Hello, I am trying to set up the footprint charts on Sierra to look just like the picture attached to this post. It basically contains: column 1: candlestick chart column 2: Bid Ask Clusters with a volume profile in it based on bid ask volume profile traded on each price level. I could even think about adding the volume profile to the 3 column but I just can't separate it all in a way that it looks clean. I can't even make the candlestick chart appear correctly.

I do not see an option for the candlestick to be to the left of the Volume bars and Bid x Ask volume. The only option is a candlestick outline. I opted for the open to close boxes and can easily see the tail of with the volume bars. Aside from the colors (and candlesticks) this picture looks similar to what you are looking for. http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1537477494866.png

As Marc Galanter has stated, there is no option within the native Numbers Bars study for Sierra Chart that has the full candlestick to the side of the Numbers Bar like it is shown in the image provided, and as you have already discovered, you can't just create the candlestick in Column 1 without some data displayed. Conversely, you can create thin Candlesticks and use the Volume by Price study to display the volume profile along with the Bid and Ask Prices, but then you will not be able to highlight the various aspects or color the text. Therefore, our recommendation goes along with with Marc has stated. Use the Numbers Bars study with either the Vertical Bars or Candlestick Body Outline for the Marker Style and setup the rest of the Numbers Bars as you desire. In addition, to place specific text above/below the bars you need to use a combination of studies. Refer to this post regarding this: Number Bar Ratio (Low Bid Volume or High Ask Vol percent) to display on the chart To help you get this all started, we have put together a Study Collection based on the post referenced above along with the Numbers Bars study with the Bid x Ask Volumes and a Volume Profile along with the Candlestick Outline. In order to use this Study Collection, refer to the following: 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

Dear Support, The study collection isn't loading in my studies on Sierra Chart, after I downloaded it to the correct folder. Is it possible the formatting has changed over the years? Much appreciated.

We just tried the Study Collection in the post above and it is working fine on version 2231. Do you see the Study Collection in the Analysis pulldown or is it not there? If it is there, what happens when you select it? Also, refer to the following for how to use a Study Collection provided by Support: 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
