Hi,

New member here so I am just getting used to the software. Excuse the newbie question

There is a specific Number bar chart that I want to duplicate. Specifically the trending / reversal specifics. I have tried to play with the range bar and reversal bar settings, but I can't get exactly what I need.

If there is anyone who could put the specific (3) charts together for me I would appreciate it.
Attached are the screen shots of the 3 charts, and the range/reversal settings.
picture 1 shows:
chart 1. is a numberbar showing delta...
chart 2. bid x ask histogram
Chart 3. bid x ask imbalance

Picture 2 shows:
The range chart settings.

Attached is a Chartbook that you can use to help get you started. You will find the information here for how to use the Chartbook:
Chartbooks (Workspaces): Using a Chartbook Provided by Sierra Chart Support

For information The 3 charts have the following Numbers Bars information in them:

Chart 1: The numbers displayed are the difference of the Ask and the Bid (Ask - Bid). The bar's length is the amount of the difference where positive numbers (Ask dominant) are green and the negative numbers (Bid dominant) are red. The color gradient for the bars is based on the relative percentage of the Ask or Bid (whichever is dominant) at that level. These are not diagonal comparisons.

Chart 2: The numbers displayed are the Bid volume and the Ask Volume (Bid x Ask). The bar's length is the volume amount of each side relative to the highest volume. The color gradient for the bars is based on the Ask or Bid actual volume. These are not diagonal comparisons.

Chart 3: The numbers displayed are the Bid volume and the Ask Volume (Bid x Ask). There are no bars displayed. The numbers are colored based on the Diagonal Ask/Bid percentage (Ask Volume / Bid Volume). Only values greater than 200% are set to be displayed, where Red is the Bid side and Green is the Ask Side.

These were our best guesses to try and match up to what you had previously, but without additional information, it is hard for us to know exactly what the specific settings would need to be. Start with these and review the information below on the Numbers Bars to see if you can get what you need. If you have questions, ask them in the forum and we will do our best to respond.

With regards to the Chart Bar Period Type, the charts in the attached chartbook have been set as Range Bars Standard with a 3 tick range. Again, we would need more information to understand which settings in Sierra Chart would match to what you have been previously using. If you can give us some details of how the settings work, we can point you in the right direction. In the meantime, you will find the information on the Bar Period Types here:
Chart Settings: Time Period Per Bar / Amount of Data Per Bar (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Bar Period menu)

Many thanks,

I believe the setting I am looking for are somehow possible with flex renko or inverse flex renko.

This platform is amazing. Now I know why so many good traders choose SC

I figured it out. It was a inverse flex renko. "they" sell it as a super algorithm that a prop trader came up with. Settings are secret.
