It looks like you are using TT data :)

Whether the trade happened at the bid or the ask is set by the data feed. SC just plots what it gets.
A quality data feed like IQFeed will solve this.

For data feeds with poor bid/ask accuracy, try using the Cumulative Delta Bars - Up/Down Tick Volume study instead.

yes, I'm using TT. how reliable is "Cumulative Delta Bars - Up/Down Tick Volume" study?
can I use it for gauging market sentiment instead of original "Cumulative Delta Volume" study using TT feed?

thanks for response!

I use TT data as well. It is fast and reliable, but has poor bid/ask accuracy.

The Cumulative Delta Bars - Up/Down Tick Volume study with TT data is very close to the Cumulative Delta Bars - Volume study with IQFeed data. Attached is a comparison I did last year.

The upper panel is Cumulative Delta Bars - Volume study with IQFeed data.
The middle panel is Cumulative Delta Bars - Volume study with TT data.
The lower panel has cumulative delta bars made from Up/Down ticks with TT data.
