Hello, in the attachment I've sent you a picture of I want my chartbook to look like. I can set everything by myself exept of two things: -The footprintchart imbalance, maybe you can send me the settings of what I should type in and where -The candlestick charts. I want to have them exactly like in the picture but I can't figure out the right settings for it I hope that you can help me because I'm searching since days and I can't find the right setings. Thank you, I wish you a nice day. Best regards, https://www.sierrachart.com/Download.php?Folder=TicketingSystem&download=25952

Hello, I want that imbalances get highlighted in the numbers bars but I don’t know how to set it. I already read all the articles on your website but I still don’t know how to set it. The ask and bid should be highlighted when a number is 4 times bigger. I hope you can help me with this.

Attached is a Study Collection with the Numbers Bars configured to color the text of the dominant side when the dominant side is 4x (400%) larger than the non-dominant side. The main things that you have to do are to select the appropriate Text Coloring Method; set the Percent Compare Thresholds appropriately; and then set Column # Range # Up/Down colors you do not want to use to White. This should help you to configure to the rest of the Numbers Bars study as you need.

Perfect, that helped me a lot, thank you. Now the last question I have: I want to set the candle stick body outline in a different colour than the shadow of the candle. In the attachment I've sent you a picture of what I mean. Can you help me with that. Thank you.

If you just want to color all of them differently, then refer to the Graphics Settings starting here and the following 3 items: Graphics Settings: Candlestick Up Outline If you want to apply a particular rule to color the interiors different for some reason, then refer to the following post that requested a similar thing and the Chart Collection we put together for them: colorization of candlesticks For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing

Thank you, but I still couldn't find what I want. I will explain it: I want to have black candle outline colour but the highs and lows of the candles in a different colour (white). Can you tell me how to set this? I've sent you another picture where you can see it.

We are a little confused by what you are asking for then. From what we can see in the image, you would set the following: Chart >> Graph Draw Type >> Candlestick Bars Global Settings >> Graphics Settings - Global: Candlestick Up Outline: White Candlestick Up Fill: Black Candlestick Down Outline: White Candlestick Down Fill: Red The following image shows what a chart that we setup using those parameters looks like: http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1550075862620.png For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing

On this example which I've sent you you can see that there is no candle outline. Down candles are red, up candles are black and just the highs and lows are white. There is no candle outline.

What you want to do, having the Candlestick center not have an outline to it, is not supported in Sierra Chart. The closest is what we recommended above. For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing
