Coding for Sierra Charts

[Hlm]

Mishnas-

I must of missed your reply on the 25th.
If I have some free time this week I will see if I can get something working.
This would be very simple to program, but I am currently hard at work on another trading software project.

Whenever you can would be great. Thanks for the reply.

Any progress, mlh?

sorry hlm I mean.

Sorry about the wait. I have been extremely busy trying to get parts of my software completed. This afternoon I went ahead and threw something together.

Download dll here
Place in your SierraChart folder
Open up a new chart and set it to 1 tick
Change it so it only loads 1 day
Go to Chart Studies
Click "Add Custom Study"
Choose "Bid/Ask Volume"

At the current time it does not calculate all previous bars (fill in historical data graphically). This could create significant load time (not sure). However if it's really wanted I could add it. On the first bar created after being added, it WILL go back and calculate the correct and current count though. Also, since it goes off the current bar historical display will be erased if chart is refreshed.

Now, like I said, I just threw this together. I am NOT guaranteeing that everything is working EXACTLY as expected. I did set the three intervals to 3M 15M and 60M and it seemed to match up to the same numbers given when you use Sierras indicator on those time frames.

Please let me know if bugs/problems or any other features or requests.

You're da man, as they say. I will try it and let you know. Many many thanks for your trouble.

Hi Hlm,

Would it be okay if you post the file in the indicator forum as well? Thanks

[Hlm]

Sure Soultrader. I am going to add a couple things first. For example it would be nice to have one that counts bars versus time. Also, with the current dll, it's built to be extremely efficient since it runs off the tick chart. If a spurt of orders (bars) come it at once, it won't go back and calculate the value at every single bar. It will, however, calculate the CORRECT value at the current bar. So unless you need correct bar by bar (tick by tick) data for some extreme scalping, it should be fine. I might make an option where you could load historical graphic information and true tick by tick (for the extreme scalper and then the individual decide if it's too cpu intensive.

I added the new DLL to the Indicator Section located HERE

I would appreciate it if a moderator could remove or change the link located at the beginning of this thread. Thanks.
