Hi, I'm trying to add a horizontal Delta Volume Bar similar to the one shown in the attached image. But I can't find a study that arranges the bars as shown in the image. Is there a specific study that can accomplish this? Alternatively, what settings on the Numbers Bars Study will allow me to get something similar? |

Neither of what is in the image is from the Numbers Bars study. If you are referring to the vertical bars that have the red, dotted rectangle around them, then there is not a single study that gives the result in exactly that fashion. You would need to use a combination of studies to get what you want. To start with, you need to get the Ask-Bid Difference, which you can get from the Numbers Bars Calculated Values study (which is what is in the bottom of your image) or from the "Close" of the "Ask/Bid Volume Difference Bars" study. Then you need to use the "Spreadsheet Formula" to make the Bid Dominant bars show as positive numbers and then you need to use the "Color Bar Based on Alert Condition" to color the bid dominant bars a different color. Attached is a Study Collection that does this for you. You may need to tweak it for your specific colors and setup. Keep in mind the width of the Bars in the "Spreadsheet Formula" needs to match the width of the bars in the "Color Bar Based on Alert Condition".

Thank you for providing the file. I couldn't get it looking exactly how I wanted. But the Spreadsheet Formula bars is enough for visual feedback. I will tinker with it and see if I can get the appearance (width/colour) to match the chart candles.
