Hey Grant. This is my set up. Have a chart DOM set up on it as well. Stole the rough design off some dude I follow on twitter.


I'll flick it over if you want to play around with it.

How did you get the calculated values at the bottom to look like that in sierra? My values are big and blocky and take up half of the chart.

The chart window contains many adjustable regions. The number of regions displayed depends on the chart regions the studies on a chart are set to be drawn in.
Each region contains one or more graphs. A graph would be a price graph or a study graph. The top line of a region shows the values for the last column of the graphs in the region.

Adjusting the Height of Chart Regions By Using the Values Scale

You are able to adjust the height of the regions in the chart by hovering your Pointer over the boundary between the regions in the Values Scale on the right side of the chart.
Refer to the attached image below. As you hover over the boundary between chart regions you will see a horizontal line displayed. Click and drag with your Pointer device to adjust to the new height and release.
This feature is not supported when a Drawing Tool is active. To ensure a drawing tool is not active select Tools >> Pointer on the menu.

Thanks @Mich62 and @ninjus. Quite informative videos.
@trepidation that pic makes a lot of sense. Thanks for posting.

my understanding of a market is that its a place for buyers and sellers to do the business of exchanging contracts. When there are no buyers, the market advertises lower trying to find a price that traders are willing to deal, when there are no sellers, the market moves higher to find a price level where sellers are willing to deal.
The mechanics are (I think) that for the market to move higher, a buyer must be willing to lift the offer which means the market, therefore, advances up a price level. If the buyer has a higher contract requirement than is available at any single price level, then he has to keep advance through the levels until he has filled his inventory. Thats how I understand it.

What do you mean here? What does that look like on a chart?



Ive been youtubing and charting and thought I would load up the ES chart from Friday afternoon as a starting point. Attached are the charts with notes, for your amusement. I loaded up the 5 minute chart and identified a price level where a few swings had occured. Then went to the footprint chart to see if I could make any sense of the flow of volume. Obviously its all hindsight but where else does one start?
