Hi Sierra Chart Team, I’m having an issue where my Cumulative Delta is showing the opposite values and direction compared to my mentor’s chart, even though we are looking at the same symbol and same date. Problem: On 6-2, my chart shows +905 (green) while my mentor’s chart shows -702 (red) on the same bar. My cumulative delta is trending up/green, while my mentor’s is trending down/red. This is not just a color issue — the actual delta calculation appears to be inverted. What I’ve checked so far: I compared the Cumulative Delta Bars - Volume study settings on both charts. Both charts are using the same symbol and similar timeframes. I’m running Sierra Chart on Mac via CrossOver. Screenshots attached: My chart (showing +905 on 6-2) Mentor’s chart (showing -702 on 6-2) Questions: What could cause the delta to have opposite signs between two charts? Is there a specific setting (such as “Calculate on”, Rolling Calculation, or study version) that commonly causes this inversion? Which study/settings should I be using to match standard Cumulative Delta behavior? Any help diagnosing the root cause would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Best regards, Nicholas Poon |

We do not know what exactly is different, but something is. The one thing we note is that the underlying data between the systems is different - meaning that the Numbers Bars data itself is different. Are you both using the same data feed? And, since you are using the Numbers Bars for daily data, you would have to ensure that your Session Times are set the same, along with any number of other Chart settings that could make the data different between the two systems. Our recommmendation is for one of you to take the other persons chartbook and load it into their system. Then they can see if the data is the same on the same system and if not, then see what is different between the chart settings that could be causing this. But, there are also items like the "Intraday Data Storage Time Unit" that can cause differences, although this should be set to "1 tick" if you are using the Numbers Bars, but it is an example of a global setting that can affect the data.
