Good morning, I am writing to you as I find myself confused on the method of calculating these two indicators present in Sierra (no custom studios).
- Bid Ask Volume Ratio
And the bid or ask to the nominator?
I would like to know when the value of the indicator is negative (-0) consider the bid as denied or the ask?
Bid in the denominator and ask in the denominator? (or on the contrary)
- Ask/Bid Volume Difference Bars
Same question for this other indicator which is to the nominator and which to the denominator?
Ask to the denominator and bid to the denominator? (or on the contrary)

A lot of thanks, for me it is very important to understand the logic of the calculation in order to carry out the correct interpretation of the indicators.

I look forward to your reply, thanks!
