Hello! I have set background type to "Diagonal Difference Ask Side Volume Profile" and I want the background coloring method to color the bars based on percentage thresholds of the maximum and minimum values from Daily Data (not per bar) but I'm not certain which setting to use. I want it to work similar to "Based on AskVol BidVol Difference Percentage of Max Dominant Side" but that setting only calculates delta for the same price level. I've tried "Background Coloring Based on AskVol BidVol Diagonal Difference Percentage of Bar Range" but it colors everything the same with almost no gradient unlike the previously mentioned setting, for instance -20 delta on MES has the same color as -244 delta, also -26 delta has the color green instead of red so the color isn't even correct. the percentages for the column are set to the recommended 25, 50, 75.

The option to determine Min/Max values for coloring from the daily data instead of per bar is controlled by the following setting: Numbers Bars: Determine Maximum/Minimum Values for Coloring From As noted in there, the option for "Based on AskVol BidVol Difference Percentage of Max Dominant Side" is supported, so you should be able to get what you want from this. Keep in mind, if you have set the option to base the Min/Max on Daily data, then a single bar may not have much color gradient, as the Min/Max may be very different from the values within that individual bar.
