This might seem basic but I am struggling with it. I am using cumulative Sum of study to draw cumulative tick. I would like to know the draw style type that will allow me to see it as an increasing histogram or a mountain that is filling from zero up when he sum is positive and filling from zero down when it is negative. for example , Fill top works well if sum tick<zero but if sum tick> zero then I need to use Fill bottom. of course, I can't use both

Thanks

What symbol are you using the Cumulative Sum of Study on?

If it is TICK-NYSE use Cumulative Adjusted Value instead.

You will want to use these Draw Styles:
Bar
Fill to Zero

Thanks for the draw style.

I am using IQFeed so the Symbol tick.Z, do I need to use the Cumulative Adjusted Value instead of the usual Cumulative sum of study?

Yes we highly recommend that. You are going to get misleading information otherwise. Essentially nonsense.

Ok but this one doesn't have reset at day start. Am I missing something? wouldn't be that the right thing to have if this study is the right one?

If you want to do this cumulative calculation for a single day, it is fine to use Cumulative Sum of Study. Over long periods of time, that simplified method can give you an inaccurate measurement.

Ok, was wondering why don't you add the option of reset at day start to Cumulative Adjusted Value and that way it is good for every period and for everyone

Just one out of thousands of tasks we have to do that we do not have time for.

Maybe if a lot of users are using cumulative tick then it is worth it as you have study adjusted for that (your program gives a different read then other program I use with IQfeed for reg one - e.g. IRT Linnsoft). understanding that there is no way to know how many users will be needing this then a simple logic can be applied and will lead to the simple conclusion that any user who is looking at market internals, many ES users usually try to see that - anecdotally of course, will try to explore that function. thank you for your help
