Let me start this question by telling you want I'm looking for: - Cumulative Delta Bars - Trades study in its own region separate from the main chart. - I want to always be able to see the last bar (and preferably several bars before the last) in the cumulative delta region without having to manually adjust the region's position as the main chart's price is moving. - A simple moving average line based on the cumulative delta study. So these are the steps I take to set this up: - Add the Cumulative Delta Bars - Trades study to the chart. Set the region to a new region (region 3 in my case). - Set the scale on this study to be Constant Range 500 and Re-Center To The Last Bar On Every Update. Press Ok on scale and study dialogs. - Add the Moving Average - Simple study. Set Based On to the Cumulative Delta study. Set the region to region 3. Leave the scale settings as-is (Automatic) What happens is that the moving average study seems to become the "owner" of the region's scale. So the region's scale is on Automatic (the moving average's scale setting) and the moving average line is not accurate. So my first question is: 1. Is this the best way to set up what I'm trying to do? If so, should/could there be a study setting for region scale "owner" or priority order, or something of the sort? To resolve this, it appears I can go into the moving average's scale settings (either from the study itself or by right-clicking the scale in the region since it is the "owner" of the region's scale) and set it also to Constant Range 500 and Re-Center To The Last Bar On Every Update. But: 2. Is this the correct/expected procedure, and will it in ensure the moving average is displayed accurately based on the cumulative delta? My concern is that this seems a bit cumbersome and could be even worse if you had more than 2 studies in the same region. Thank you, |

For the way you have this setup, the "Moving Average" should not become the "owner" of the scale, rather the scaling should be based on both the studies. In the end, if you want the scale to be controlled by the "Cumulative Delta Bars", then you need to set the scale for any other study in that region to be "Same as Region".
