Bar Ratio Display – Contextual Orderflow Tool for Sierra Chart

Understanding market intent is everything in Orderflow trading — and the Bar Ratio is one of the most underrated tools in a trader’s arsenal.

This custom Sierra Chart study reveals whether price is being rejected, defended, or simply trading within the neutral zone — all in real time, with clean, adjustable visuals built for professional intraday execution.

🎯 Why Bar Ratio Matters:

Orderflow traders rely on ratio-based logic to validate trade setups or spot high-probability reversals. Whether you're working with imbalances, absorption, delta shifts, or volume, the Bar Ratio delivers essential context that most tools overlook.

This study helps you objectively identify three core market behaviors:

📊 Bar Ratio Logic:

• Neutral Ratio (Default: 29.0 to 0.71)
  Indicates the market is trading within the neutral zone, with buyers and sellers participating relatively equally.
  When the ratio falls within this range, the market is facilitating trade — balanced buying and selling with no clear rejection or defense.
• Ratio Bounds High (Above 29.0)
  Indicates price rejection.
  – If the ratio prints below an Up Bar, it suggests lower prices were rejected — potential bullish shift.
  – If it prints above a Down Bar, it suggests higher prices were rejected — potential bearish shift.
• Ratio Bounds Low (Below 0.71)
  Indicates price defense.
  – If the ratio prints below an Up Bar, buyers are defending that level.
  – If it prints above a Down Bar, sellers are defending that level.
