Frequently asked questions

What do I need to run one of these templates?

Sierra Chart with the service package listed on each product page, plus a data feed that carries the volume detail order flow charts need. Every product page states its exact requirements before purchase.

How does a template install?

Each template is a chartbook file. In Sierra Chart, use File, then Open Chartbook, select the file, and the full workspace opens with every study and setting in place. Installation instructions come with every purchase.

Can I customize a template after buying it?

Yes. A chartbook stays fully editable in Sierra Chart: colors, thresholds, studies and layouts can all be adjusted, and the guide to building a basic footprint chart shows how those settings work.

Do templates work on instruments other than the one named?

Templates are tuned for the instrument in their name, from tick sizes to volume thresholds. The chartbook opens on other symbols, and scaling settings usually need adjustment to read well.

Learn the mechanics first

If you are choosing between chart types, our guides explain what each one actually shows: the footprint setup guide builds a basic footprint from scratch, the Bookmap and Sierra Chart comparison covers heatmaps, and the order flow sequencing guide covers reading the flow itself. For standalone studies rather than full workspaces, see our Sierra Chart indicators.
