Quote Board similar to CQG Traders (Delta of last price for uptick/downtick)

The first screenshot uploaded "current price.png" will show how CQG's quote board is formatted and the current tick price is on.

Here are the keys/index for the letters:
----------------------------------------------------------------
O= Open
H= High
L= Low
L= Last
Delta = "net change from the prior close" - from their website.
----------------------------------------------------------------
The second screenshot "uptick.png" is an uptick from the previous price of 30250 to now 30260 and delta changing from +40 to +50.

I scalp and use correlations (From quote board), I need my correlations up-ticking/down-ticking to be displayed instantly/real-time like CQG's quote board. Seems the only thing close to this in the spreadsheet columns is the daily price change %. Which is no good--as it is percentage based and I don't think granular as (I might be wrong) its based on daily price for input rather then ticks. It is very similar to people who use correlations by having several DOM's open. But its too messy and I prefer a quote board.

Is there a custom column I maybe missed that does this? Or will I have to code my own? If so, please help me with the logic and implementation.

First how do I implement this? as this is for the quote board which I don't know how to implement custom columns with formulas into.

Second, does the logic of (RetainLastPriceTick-CurrentLastPriceTick=Delta) sound? correct? off? Feel like I'm missing something that makes it cumulative aswell (as you can see it retained ticks +10, +20, +30, then showed me +40, and +50)

If I am all over the place, please use my two images, and this CQG Link https://help.cqg.com/cqgic/24/default.htm#!Documents/quoteboard.htm to better understand me.

If you want to do calculations related to these quote values, look at the Quote Spreadsheet functionality:

Hello, thank you for the quick reply!
I am pulling my hair out trying to implement this with spreadsheet formulas and gave up. Quote board is limited in implementations.
Could I please ask in a future update for a new field in the quote board?

This would be the logic for a new quote field called "Previous Price":
Value from Last Price field -> Retain Last price value -> Compare retained value to current price/value (e.g Last price > retained value) -> If uptick/downtick -> display retained last price value.

This is logic for a new quote field called "Net Change from Previous Price(s)" or "Price change from previous tick":
Data from Last Price -> Calculate Delta (Last Price - Previous Price) -> += to new variable "Cumulative Net Change" -> Display Cumulative Net Change

Visual cues like CQG's would be awesome as well (uparrow is uptick, downarrow is downtick or +/- signs).


Theres many kinks in this logic and it's primitive but I hope it gives an idea. Please let me know if its ever considered--It would greatly benefit me and many others who don't like using the dom for correlations as its hard to remember the ranges from several DOM's open.

To start with, there is a "Trade Direction" column that can be added to the "Quote Board". This gives a +/- indicator of the direction of the last trade.

There may be other items that are what you are looking for, as we are not sure exactly what you want to compare. Refer to the following:
