Flow Gauges for @SierraChart is now released. Floating arc gauges that turn volume, delta, CVD, and tape speed into a single visual read. Each gauge runs as its own study, floats over any Chart or DOM, embeds/floats with a double-click, and is freely resizable. Note: The same gauges will be available with configurable data source inputs in a separate bundle. Demo video in the next few days. gcuserstudies.com/studies/fl…

I've been tracking MBO order movement with internal studies and data pipelines for a while now. Finally bringing some of that directly into MBO Blocks. History dots mark orders that changed based on your minimum filter size. Optional history tails briefly show the source and destination (orders move in sub-second timeframes and are easy to miss). Snapshot windows reveal the full movement trail on demand. How you use this data is up to you. These features have been running in private studies and just finishing up final testing as they get merged into the free MBO Blocks study. Will post an update when the Free bundle is updated with these changes. A few examples. @SierraChart

Free studies have been running well and I believe most of the backend kinks worked out now — thanks to everyone who signed up. First paid study is live: DOM Notes: 7-day free trial, no card required: gcuserstudies.com/studies/do…

Slowly migrating my Sierra Chart studies over to gcuserstudies.com — free bundle is live with 8 studies so far. Can see the release notes for the main changes. Still ironing out a few things but if you want to help test, sign up is free. Should auto sync your Sierra account within a minute and auto download the free study bundle when you restart Sierra Chart. Tried to answer all questions in the FAQ also. Mainly getting this going to then focus on trying to release some non-free studies. Trying to make a go of this full time so we'll see how it goes.

Have a few things I've been working on coming in the next few weeks: - MBO Blocks – combined tick increments support, option to Draw on Chart vs DOM - Trade Bracket Preview – visualize your bracket before placing the order - DOM Notes – annotate right on your DOM - DOM Graph – Clone of Sierra's, Use full depth on chart and independently configurable # levels on the study - DOM Graph Monitor – set thresholds, quickly be aware of when your environment changes and a few other things. @SierraChart

Here is a pre-release version of the study that should hopefully resolve the Forex Factory issues. Give it a try if you want. Thanks github.com/gcUserStudies/tmp…

Regarding Forex Factory. @korygill pointed out to me that FF is limiting requests to once per hour. Anyone using the current study should open it, scroll to the bottom, and change the update interval to 60. Then save your chartbook. It should eventually start working again.

But you may first need to wait 5 minutes after saving, close the chart the study is on and re-open the chart. After that, it should only query FF once an hour and hopefully you won't be rate limited.

Hello, here is a release candidate if anyone wants to try it out (requires MBO package from @SierraChart). This update also contains Forex Factory that works with OpenGL enabled. For the MBO Blocks study, the final release shouldn't change anything settings wise. There are just a few GDI related items I'm waiting to resolve that I have a support ticket in to see if they are actually issues or not (these don't affect anything in the current study). github.com/gcUserStudies/tmp… Thanks @ZigsOnTheBid for the initial idea for this. It wasn't something I had thought of doing with the original study for MBO that only showed text. Ludatrades also provided some help with some GDI related questions. (buymeacoffee.com/luda) so thank you. Thanks @TicinoTrader with testing/feedback and also working on building chartbooks for this. I believe those will be released soon. Thanks @Trade_theVolume for very detailed and excellent feedback in testing. And also the idea of offsetting the study when using a Chart DOM to show the blocks on the chart vs the DOM. youtube.com/@FrozenTundraTra… always providing great code examples to work off of :) Feature wise, I am still looking at adding more scaling options. But not there yet. Also some visual aspects regarding how things are drawn/font related etc... but need to resolve the GDI stuff I was speaking of first. And I'm probably forgetting also but many people have provided great feedback in general. If I could add all the requests in right away I would. But, will try to get to them if/when I can. Finally, no source code for this release as it contains some band aides to have it work properly when OpenGL is enabled vs disabled for the MBO Blocks study. It works fine both ways. But, I would like to permanently fix it so there are no work arounds. Either way, I will release full source soon. It's nothing special or secret. It's just a mess in a few areas and may create more confusion if someone is trying to use any of it as an example. Ok, sorry for long post. But wanted to put something out since it's been a while and you can reach a point of never finishing something due to endless attempts at perfection :)

Apologize for the delay on MBO study. I will post something for people to use on Monday. Been out a lot and tied up with other things. There is one little item I wanted to address first which isn't a big deal. And if unable to get to it over the weekend will post as is. Still have more things I would like to do with it regarding the scaling options and a few font related items. Also have a request into Sierra chart regarding discrepancies between when OpenGL is enabled vs disabled. Currently it works fine with both. However, some of the changes I would like to make don't translate over properly so will wait to see what support says.

Quick update for the MBO Blocks study. Hoping to release this sometime this week. But having a few people test to see if any issues are there. Otherwise, based on feedback, you can also color the fonts based on the qty filter now. When you shrink columns, it will drop the smallest order to have the blocks fit. There is some log scaling that can be changed (range is from 1-10) but basically it's just a multiplier that slowly adjusts the size of the blocks based on qty. But across each price level all qty sizes are now uniform. Works with OpenGL also. Anyway.... Here is a quick example When released I will post a link to the download and sourcecode. Also in this updated study collection the Forex Factory works with OpenGL also. Edit: Animated gif kind of looks like crap after posting. Not sure why. Anyway... will have to find a better example and update later.
