Effective Main Study setup

IN5: Effective Main Study depends upon Numbers Bar Calculated Values. Supply the StudyID of it.

Effective Volume Imbalance Study setup

This study requires some setup. "Volume At Price Threshold Alert V2" study must be on the chart twice. One configuration needs to highlight Bid price level imbalances and another study configuration needs to highlight Ask price level imbalances. See https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/StudiesReference.php&ID=386 . Once these 2 studies are on the chart, the Effective Volume Imbalance Study Input IN5 and IN6 need to have the study ID's set.

VolumeImbalance

Example: SCREENSHOT The imbalances do not need to be adjacent (stacked) and can be anywhere in the bar. A sustained imblanance in a bar is where there was a same imbalance in the previous bar. Usually a sign of sustained trading at a level.
