Well, I have another newbie Sierra Chart question. I can't figure out how to create a footprint chart ? I have seen screenshots of footprint charts done in sierra so I know its possible ? What is the study called ? Also, is it possible to create a volume imbalance footprint ? Thanks again for any help you can give.

In SC, Footprint Chart is called Numbers Bars as a study. In the first row, you will have a choice on how to display the volumes and there are many options. Screen shots attached.

My chart looks like this but I don't know how to read it. I wish someone had a tutorial on reading and trading with Volume Ladder/Footprint ("Numbers Bars").

Here is something from Market Delta on how to read footprints. There are many videos on their site.
