Hello, in Numbers Bars study, I had text coloring method set to "text on dominant side", today I updated Sierra charts to last version and "text on dominant side" option is no more available, how can I get it back? I don´t know which version I had before update. Thank you

Some of the names of the Background and Text Coloring Methods have been renamed to be more descriptive of what they actually do.

Is it possible to get exactly "text on dominant side" option back? - e.g. by installing previous version of Sierra charts? If it is possible- which version?

Percentage Thresholds are set correctly. I already have some trading setups based on "text on dominant side" coloring, changing to Based on Dominant Side Ask Volume Bid Volume Percentage coloring has different colours and I can not see my trading setups. Is any chance to return changes and get this settig back? Thank you

Sorry for my english, Based on Dominant Side Ask Volume Bid Volume Percentage coloring has different colours means that coloring of bid and ask numbers is different from text on dominant side coloring. I spend long time getting my setups based on text on dominant side coloring and I would like to get it back. Thank you.

Ok, so I solved it installing older version, where is text on dominant side coloring option available. Please, can this option be available in future versions? Thank you.

Based on Dominant Side Ask Volume Bid Volume Percentage coloring is exactly the same as Text on Dominant Side. The only difference is percentages are interpreted where 1% is now .01. Percentage Thresholds are set correctly. What are they set to? And then we will tell you how to set them in the new version.

Those are not the correct percentages to use. They should be more like: 1.0, 1.50, 2.0 Refer to: Numbers Bars: Text Coloring Based on Dominant Side AskVol BidVol Percentage When you look at the formula it will be clear.
