This tool for Sierra Chart aims at representing the tape on a more "visual" manner.
Please refer to picture below.
Each number represents one trade.
The tape is "horizontal".
The figures are positioned at the relevant price levels (they are actually drawn on each point of a 1-tick chart).
The background color depends whether the trade was at the ask or at the bid.
The number in the box represents the size of the trade. The size of the letters is proportional to the size of the trade.
This is experimental. I wanted to test the feasibility (it works!). I do not see it as a finished product but rather as a ground for possible further development.
It works in real-time and on historical data, since based on 1-tick chart and not on Sierra Chart's T&S.
I have taken the idea from a commercial software ( Advanced Time And Sales ( ) pointed out by omaha786 in a thread started by vvhg on T&S ( ). Reverse engineering of commercial software? Actually, this module is not available for Sierra Chart and... is rather basic (no "secret" inside). And the adapting size of the numbers is not in the other software.
