How to Show Volume Delta Based on Lot Size - Like Futures Trader 71

View Count: 271

Futures Trader 71 has his Cumulative Delta broken down by lot size. Small Lots, Medium Lots, and Large Lots with a histogram of all data showing combined. How can I emulate this with Sierra Charts? I would like a numerical input for lot size that I choose. See attached image

We really do not have enough information to give an absolute statement, but if the Cumulative Delta is broken down based on the quantities of the trades, then there is not a native study within Sierra Chart that would do this. It would have to be done through a Custom Study. Refer to the following:
Advanced Custom Study Interface and Language (ACSIL)

Let me add some clarity to what I'm looking for as I have no skill with custom studies.
I'm looking for something very similar to how a Time and Sales is filtered based on trade size. So, I'd want Sierra to plot the Ask Volume - Bid Volume with a filter for a specific trade size. Say 20 lots or greater. Filtered in the same way Time and Sales is filtered.

Is something like this possible?

Example attached of how you might do this using multiple referencec chart with volume filtering applied and study/price overlay to bring data to main chart.

Chart Settings: Volume Filter (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Data Limiting >> Volume Filter Settings menu)
Study/Price Overlay Study
