Just a little note the Zig Zag Cumulative volume (here setted on bid ask volume difference but same thing also with total volume) is calculating correctly the values but coloring is inherited by the main chart, could it be possible to correct and taking the color of the actual values of the indicator (es blue positive and red negative values)?? or there are some settings that I'm missing? This is how it plots now: http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1598621672920.png tks regards

The coloring for the Zig Zag Cumulative Volume is controlled by the color settings for the Accumulated Volume subgraph on that study. Refer to the information here for how to change these: Chart Studies: Subgraphs Tab >> Color For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing

yes I know this, in fact you see can that i setted them blue and red, but the point is that it colors it red also if the Zig Zag cumulative volume is positive, due from the fact that in the main chart there is a negative rotation (you can see from the upper oscilator that is a simple zig zag oscillator): http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1598621672920.png the color (blue or red ) is inherited from the main chart, it is not colored according to the indicator itself (blue for positive values and red for negative ones) you can see from the chart that there are red color sometimes on the positive values and blue on the negative tks regards

Yes, you are correct, the decision of which color is used is based on the direction of the actual Zig Zag rotation. A positive direction uses the Primary color and a negative direction uses the Secondary color.

could it be possible to correct and taking the color of the actual values of the indicator (es blue positive and red negative values)?? You can do it with the Spreadsheet Formula study. - Use this formula in the Formula field: =ID1.SG5 - Set the Chart Region and Draw Style to the same as the Zig Zag Cumulative Volume study. - Set the Auto-Coloring to Based on +/-, and the colors to the same as the Zig Zag Cumulative Volume study. - Hide the Zig Zag Cumulative Volume study.
