DeltaMomentum Source Code

Hi,

There is a really interesting study in the usercontributed studies DLL called DeltaMomentum.

I would really like to change it so the histogram is entirely above the axis and does not become inverted when a reading is negative.

Does anyone know if the source code is available anywhere ?

I can only see the DLL file.

The reason I want to make the change is that I believe it is easier to compare levels if all histograms are above the axis.

Thanks for any help

Thanks

In case anyone wants them here are the attached cpp and dll that give an extra subgraph 4 that has this option for easier comparison between positive and negative delta momentum
