Hello. I am trying for hours now to create this style Number Bar inside Sierra Chart. To trade with my strategy, I need to see the volume intensity in color in each side. For example, If there are 100 (and over) bid contracts on the right, it highlights that value with Full Bright Green If there are bids between 50-90, it highlights with a slightly dimmer Green If there are 20 - 50 bids on the right, it shades with dim green If there are less than 5 contracts on either side, there is no shade in color. Also, I would like the number bar clusters to have their own borders, or at least something similar to this, seperated values in their own boxes. Lastly, just to have the candlestick bar inside the cluster. Please see my attachment for what I am trying to achieve. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. |

To get the coloring you want, you need to select the "Background Coloring Method" that you want. Since you want to have the Ask and Bid both display for certain values, it sounds like you want to use the "Background Coloring Based on Separate Ask Volume Bid Volume - Actual" background coloring. Refer to the information here: Numbers Bars: Background Coloring Based on Separate Ask Volume Bid Volume - Actual Since this uses actual values, you will then need to enter the values for the different color ranges in the "Column # Actual Volume Compare Thresholds". Refer to the information here: Numbers Bars: Column # Actual Volume Compare Thresholds Sierra Chart's Numbers Bars do not have a border or separation lines. In order to get the bar showing on the side as shown in your image, you would set the "Open and Close Marker Style" to "Open to Close Boxes".

Would it be possible to add those borders? Just a thin outline around the whole bar like in the attached screenshot? It really would help the visualization. Best regards Dominik Date Time Of Last Edit: 2022-03-04 19:49:28
