[Programming Help] - New Colouring Feature Request for Volume by Price (VBP)

Hello Sierra Chart Support,

I would like to submit a strong feature request for the Volume by Price study.

I would like the ability to treat Net Delta (Ask Volume - Bid Volume) as a true profile distribution, similar to a standard Volume Profile, with the profile highlighting/coloring logic operating from the Delta Profile itself rather than from total volume or percentage of POC.

In other words, the Delta Profile should function similarly to a normal Volume Profile, where the strongest delta areas are highlighted the same way high-volume nodes and POC are currently emphasized.

Additionally, it would be very useful to have the existing percentage-of-POC style highlighting logic applied to the Delta Profile itself, where the Delta distribution is treated as the profile histogram and highlighting is based on percentages of Net Delta concentration rather than standard volume profile data.

This feature is strongly requested as it will help me to visaualise the delta profile cleanly.

Thank you.

You can do this with the "Volume by Price" study as it is. Just set the "Volume Bar Calculation Method" to "Ask Volume - Bid Volume". Set everything else as you want it. Refer to the following:
