Orderflow Suite Crimson with Custom Studies is a highly zoomed-in tick chart for Sierra Chart, made to time your entries. It combines a ready-to-trade DOM, an RTH volume profile with delta, iceberg detection and two custom studies that make large trades impossible to miss. Optimizations are available for ES, NQ, Crude Oil and Gold futures and it is the orderflow chart (chart 5 of 6) of the Crimson Day Trading Suite.

What is on the chart

• Custom Study 1, Large Trade Text: adds fully customizable quantity text to the large volume trade indicator
• Custom Study 2, Large Trade Graphic: clearer visualization and highlighting of large trades
• Iceberg detector that identifies the involvement of big players and key areas
• RTH volume profile with the delta of the visible bars overlaid
• Ready-to-trade DOM with bid and ask market depth pulling and stacking, bid size and ask size (buy and sell columns) and recent bid and ask volume
• An additional heatmap in the ES optimization, to see through algorithmic order placement

Built for the moment of entry

Your levels come from the higher-timeframe charts. This chart answers the last question: is now the moment? The tick chart shows every burst of activity, the large-trade graphics show who is behind it and the DOM shows what happens in the book while price approaches your level.

The DOM is set up with the columns that matter for that decision. Bid size and ask size show the resting limit orders on each side of the book. Recent bid volume and recent ask volume show the market orders that actually traded at each price, the aggressive buying and selling that moves the market. Market depth pulling and stacking show how the resting orders change as price gets closer. Watching that pulling and stacking behavior gives you more detailed context, especially together with the recent bid and ask volume: you see whether the liquidity at your level stays, grows or disappears while the market orders hit it.

Large trades, made readable

Both custom studies are enhanced versions of Sierra Chart’s standard large-trade marker, built for more visibility in a fast market. Large Trade Text writes the exact quantity onto each large trade and Large Trade Graphic highlights it more clearly. You can also show a transparent bubble with the quantity text on it, which the standard Sierra Chart marker does not support. That way a large print at your level stands out without hiding the price action behind it.
