Hello, I searched some threads and enabled the following two subgraphs - Maximum Ask Vol Bid Vol Diff - using as Max Delta Minimum Ask Vol Bid Vol Diff - using as Min Delta But per my understanding, max delta is always positive and Min Delta is always negative. But in my attached screenshot, at some occasions, Max Delta is showing -ve number and Min delta is showing +ve number. Please can you help me understand if this is expected or do I need to change some settings. |

But per my understanding, max delta is always positive and Min Delta is always negative.
Then your understanding is wrong. Consider this: The first trade in a bar is sell 100 therefore delta = -100 Then for the duration of the bar delta never goes higher than -100 What is max delta? It can only be -100, as that is the maximum value for delta during the bar. |

The way I'm trying to capture Max/Min Delta is based on the following definition - Max Delta - Strongest positive reading of Delta in a bar Max Delta - Strongest negative reading of Delta in a bar Can you please clarify if I'm using the relevant subgraphs/study to accomplish above? If not, how to capture this? |

We answered this in another thread. We are curious if those definitions are from our documentation. If so, can you please let us know where they are, so we can update them, as they are not correct.
