1) In the Numbers Bars setting.... I'm new at this and trying to set up a footprint chart represented by the bid and ask using colors to signify the strongest volume of the bid/ask. I'm only using column 1 and the Background Coloring Method is set at "Based on AskVol BidVol Difference - Actual" I'm also trying to set up the darker the color the stronger of the bias between the bid and ask. I used Range 3 Up Color as the darkest in that range (Stronger Ask), Range 0 as the lightest in the range (Lighter Ask) and the same method on the Bid side. I used an imbalance chart and thinking that the Column 1 Percent Compare Theshholds should be the same accomplish this? It's set to 1.5, 2.5 Any way you can help to see if I'm on the right track? 2) In the Number Bars Calculated Values, under 'settings and inputs' tab: I am setting up pretty much the same thing to have the colors represent the Delta. The darker the color the stronger the bias. I don't know what to compare and tweeked the 'Percent Compare Thresholds' numbers until they looked right. It set as follows; .02, .05, .08 How do I know I'm doing this correctly? 3) I have below on my chart the Delta, Total Volume, Maximum Delta and Minimum Delta. Is there any way I can re-order (example) the cell chart so that I have Total Volume on the bottom? I've attached pictures to give you my settings and how everything looks. Your feedback is appreciated. Thank you.

1. Sounds like you are on the right track. The only thing we can say is that you selected an Actual Value Background Coloring Method. As such, you need to put your values for the separation between the Range x Up/Down Colors into the Column 1 Actual Volume Compare Thresholds. Refer to the information here on this Input: Numbers Bars: Column # Actual Volume Compare Thresholds 2. The Numbers Bars Calculated Values Study uses a different method for determining the colors of the cells. How those colors are determined is explained here: Numbers Bars: Calculated Values Background Coloring Logic 3. Yes, refer to this Subgraph Display Order Input setting for the Numbers Bars Calculated Values study found in this section here: Numbers Bars: Numbers Bars Calculated Values Input Descriptions For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing
