Sierra Chart Full Tutorial: Footprint, Market Profile, DOM and More

This comprehensive tutorial from Tradingriot covers Sierra Chart’s full suite of professional trading tools, with significant focus on Market Profile alongside footprint charts and DOM (Depth of Market). The nearly 50-minute session serves as a complete onboarding guide for traders transitioning to Sierra Chart.

The Market Profile section demonstrates how to configure and read TPO charts in Sierra Chart, covering everything from basic setup to advanced features like composite profiles, split profiles, and custom time bracket configurations. The presenter shows how Sierra Chart’s Market Profile implementation compares to other platforms and highlights features unique to Sierra Chart.

The footprint chart section explains how to read order flow data displayed at each price level, showing actual buy and sell volume. When combined with Market Profile’s structural view, footprint charts reveal the intensity and direction of trading activity within each TPO bracket, giving traders a more granular view of what is happening inside the profile.

The DOM section covers Sierra Chart’s Depth of Market display, showing how to read the order book in conjunction with Market Profile levels. Understanding where resting orders are concentrated relative to profile levels like the POC, value area edges, and single prints can provide additional confirmation for trade entries and exits.

This is an ideal resource for traders who want to use Sierra Chart as a professional-grade Market Profile and order flow platform. The video covers enough ground to get a new user productive quickly while also revealing advanced features that experienced users may not have explored.
