Is it possible to make an audible alert for
AskV - BidV % > 5.0%
AskV - BidV % < -5.0%

This would be for a standard intraday chart, with number bars set at 30 min intervals.

Thanks! always appreciate the help.

Exactly how is the percentage calculated? The difference between Ask Volume and Bid Volume will not give a percentage.

And are you wanting this for the entire bar, or per price level?

John yes thanks for responding, yes it would be per bar. I tried to re-read some older threads and I see some other traders tried similar alerts, but it was difficult because of the way the data is actually calculated vs the time length of specific bars.

And what is the percentage a percentage of?

You are wanting the difference of the Ask Volume and the Bid Volume but then comparing that to 5%. 5% of what? Or, if you prefer, what is the "Ask Volume - Bid Volume" a Percentage of?
