Hello,
I have a 100 delta main chart. I then added a cumulative delta study below it. I expected all the delta bars inn the study to be the same size i.e 100 delta blocks but they are not. I have this chart set up in Market Delta and all the blocks are the same size.
Can you tell me what is wrong?

It sounds like the study you want to use is Bid volume versus Ask Volume. Make sure the study Subgraph which calculates difference between the two is set to a visible Draw Style.

The Cumulative Delta Bars is a totally different study and you cannot make the comparison that you are.

Contemplating what you wrote again, we understand what it is you are pointing out.

Make sure you have a tick by tick data configuration:

Also, the difference between ask volume and bid volume for Delta Volume bars is not always going to be exactly the setting. It likely will be exceeded.

And you need to consider that the Cumulative Delta Bars calculate the highest and lowest difference between ask volume and bid volume for each bar.

Thank you for the info. It seems to have improved the chart but it is still not the same. I have put a side by side screenshot to show you the difference between the market delta chart and Sierra chart. I can use historical cumulative delta levels in MD re: the red lines attached to significant pivots in the delta. This is not obvious in the Sierra chart.
I would like to get 100 delta blocks showing in the Sierra chart as it is in the MD chart.
I also added the BV vs AV underneath it shows delta correctly but in a straight line and not cumulatively which is what I want.
Hope you can help.

I have found my mistake. I was using cumulative delta in trades and not volume.
I now have the charts looking the same.
Thank you for your help
