Hello, I would like to know if it’s possible to display the Ask/Bid Difference (Delta) in the following way and if yes the exact procedure : Instead of having positive delta above zero and negative delta below zero, I would like all delta bars to be plotted upward from zero — similar to a standard volume histogram. In other words, I want both positive and negative delta values to be displayed as upward bars , because I would like to add a 9-period moving average on top of it. My goal is to easily see when the delta is above or below its moving average. Is there a way to configure an existing study to do this, or would this require a custom study? Thank you. |

There are many ways to do this. The first thing is to determine which study you want to start with to get the delta itself. You can use the "Bid Ask Delta Bars", "Numbers Bars Calculated Values", or "Ask Volume Bid Volume Difference Text" along with a few other options. Then you need to get all values as positive numbers. The easiest way to do this is to use the "Spreadsheet Formula" and enter a formula like the following: =ABS(ID1.SG1) Then you can do what you want with this information. We have attached a Study Collection that has one way to do this in it including the Moving Average.
