Regarding Market Depth chart graph, is it possible to create an alert when the Market depth is dominant at one side of the book or the other at a specific percent.
For example,
ASk is at 62%
BID is at 38%

I was experimenting with the bid ask depth bars but hit a wall. Thank You

You would need two copies of the "Bid and Ask Depth Bars" and set the "Calculation Mode" to "Sum Ask Side" for one of them and "Sum Bid Side" for the other. Then if you want to alert when the Ask to Bid (Ask/Bid) is 62% or more, your Alert Formula would be the following:
=ID1.SG4/ID2.SG4 >= .62

Where ID1 is the "Bid and Ask Depth Bars" study set to "Sum Ask Side" and ID2 is the "Bid and Ask Depth Bars" set to "Sum Bid Side". SG4 is the "Close" for both cases, which is the latest sum for each side.

Refer to the following:
