Hi,

I was eyeing the accuracy of the number bars calculations and I noticed that the ask vol bid vol diff diagonal dominant side was inaccurate on some price levels. I have attached a screenshot of a single numbers bar. The left is volume, middle is bid x ask, and the right is the ask vol bid vol diff diagonal dominant side. As you can see on the right column: when I calculate the bid x ask diagonally some of the numbers are off. Please advise. Thank you in advance.

All of the numbers are calculated properly when we look at what you have given us.

What exactly are you stating is incorrect?

should the delta numbers be:
0 = 0
-32+1 = -31
-49+38 = -11
-46+41 = -5
-63+29 = -34
-76+51 = -25
-21+38 = +17 (This shows up as 0)
-83+7 = -76
-97+60 = -37
-105+106 = +1 (This shows up as +12)
-51+63 = +12
-35+86 = +51
-1+32 = +31
0 = 0

@User836008

You see "zero" because both sides at the same level are NOT dominant !!!
...
21 is NOT dominant to 38
7 is NOT dominant to 83
...
SIERRA CHART prints "zero" when comparison can't be done (top; bottom) and when we have level without dominance
...
please wait for confirmation by SIERRA CHART !!!
