I felt that we needed a thread dedicated to the discussion of Volume Profile.
Some basics, you can hover over these and click on most of them to get more info in the wiki. I also encourage you guys to improve the wiki articles by editing …
Sierra is a great platform and I do use the number bars every day. I have nothing to do with SC but happy to answer any questions you might have as I do use Sierra a lot.
Altough I have been reading futures.io (formerly BMT) for the past few weeks as a member, tis is my 1st post. Apologies if I should have introduced myself on a separate thread, but just to wanted to add futures.io (formerly BMT) is the dog's b********!
Hello dom64! thanks a lot for your kindness. sorry I replied so late, I've been busy playing with Sierra Chart and didn't come back to the forum often.
I put numbers bars on my chart for a few days, but honestly the flashing colors gave me a headache instead of helping me in any way. I still wanted to see what happens at price levels so I put the volume by price study (bar by bar) on my chart and I'm happy to report that it does more or less what numbers bars do without all those colors. and I can even choose to display ask/bid size and total volume and other information. I'm so happy with this discovery and I've been playing with it for the past few days.
Sierra chart really is great. the only problem is that, if I don't make a profit now, I can no longer blame my trading platform and instead have to man up to my own failure
I've just discovered something that's even better than the Volume by Price study. it's called BID/ASK volume bars. you can find it under Chart Settings -> Graph Type.
basically it does the same as volume by price study bar by bar, but it's much more visual. I'm using it for a small constant volume bar chart, as an attempt to read the tape on a chart.
