Sierra Chart sharing: ChartDom Entry chart

by

Chart DOM is one of my favourite Sierra Chart features. It gives users the flexibility to synchronize chart, and DOM. Chart DOM has all features of traditional Sierra Chart DOM, with ability to attach (and synchronized) into a chart. Sierra Chart DOM is higly customisable, and light weight.

In my trading, I always have a chart, which I call “Entry Chart”. It is a simple Footprint/Numbers Bars with Chart DOM attached. I have customized the Chart DOM with additional columns such as Bid/Ask Market Pulling stacking, Recent Bid/Ask volume etc.  The main purpose is to have a quick view of price movement (from Footprint/Numbers Bars chart), while trading on DOM.

I have attached the chartbook here. Please feel free to download, customize, and share it if you found it helpful.

You can download the chartbook HERE.

Enjoy!

Sierra Chart Book sharing: Market Depth Historical Graph

by 10 Comments

Sierra Chart introduced Market Depth Historical Graph at the end of 2016 after receiving requests from users. It is a tool which is similar to BookMap. The Market Depth Historical Graph study displays at each chart column the highest market depth quantity at each price level, which occurred during the timeframe of the chart bar, as a color-coded rectangle.

Here is the chartbook I use for my trading.  In order to use Market Depth Historical Graph,  “Record Market Depth Data” has to be activated as follow:

  • Select Global Settings >> Symbol Settings on the menu.
  • Locate the symbol or symbol pattern for the Symbol in the list of symbols, that you want to use the Market Depth Historical Graph study with.
  • Select the Intraday tab.
  • Enable the Record Market Depth Data option.
  • Press OK.
  • Reconnect to the data feed with File >> Disconnect and File >> Connect to Data Feed after altering the Symbol Settings.

Please feel free to download, customize and share.
