Awesome, thanks!!!
On the settings of the main indicator, I'm curious if you are using 'last' quantity or 'max' quantity.
This is just another reason why I love Sierra Chart . I'm gonna start tinkering too and will post if I find anything useful.

Here's the link to documentation:
https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/TechnicalStudiesReference.html
Marker Based On Total Volume Above Threshold: This will draw a rectangle marker, at the price level beside the chart bar where there is one or more trades which equal or exceed the Volume Threshold Input setting. The color shading is going to be based upon the total volume of all of those trades.
Marker Based On Max Volume Above Threshold: This will draw a rectangle marker, at the price level beside the chart bar where there is one or more trades which equal or exceed the Volume Threshold Input setting. The color shading is going to be based upon the maximum volume of a trade among those individual trades.

Here's what I'm working with so far, still want to clean up some things.
On the very bottom, I have
Cumulative Delta Vol and the Line of Close is the same thing but for minimum
contract volume of 13.
@OmegaXan2
What bar indicator/settings are you using for price? I've been messing with that as well, but haven't been able to get it to look like BM or yours.
I like how SC has updated to make the large trade vol visual indicators round instead of just square, much cleaner look.
I also used the transparency settings in the Global settings (40% seems to work the best for me) so you can see through the indicator.

I started a 14 day trial on TUE 2-14 with Bookmap and whilst the software is impressive, so far I'm not overly impressed
With this latest enhancement to Sierra Chart , I will be looking at BM with more scrutiny
Today at TopStepTrader Peter @DionysusToast did a webinar on trading the open
From what I'm seeing the Jigsaw product appears to be more robust, concise, clear etc than BM - however I have been wrong before
Now, this new study in SC shines a whole new light on this type of thing we are discussing
Ride safe

If you want to see the Bid /Ask lines like i have in mine, you need to add that indicator to the chart. It's called "Bid & Ask Prices"
The only thing I wish is if the settings for which size liquidity you want to filter for was a little more dynamic. Somedays, you want to only see 1300+, then some is 1000+. I'll go and manually change the value depending on the current liquidity in the book.

What's you're graph draw type? I've added the Bid & Ask study, but still doesn't look like yours.
