Numbers Bars - Dominant side issue
I have sent the Message Log with the heading titled "Numbers Bars - Dominant side issue"

In using the 'Background type' feature for the numbers bar study, I am using two different versions of the same study. One is working correctly, and the other - not. Chart settings appear to be consistent, with the difference being the emphasis on either Bid or Ask.

I have been unable to get the dominant side on the chart (#2 below)to express correctly. see examples below.

1. Numbers Bars with Hitting the bid setting dominant, correctly showing red highlights on left column.

2. Numbers Bars with Hitting the ask setting dominant, incorrectly showing green highlights on left column.

This is not really possible in the current version of the study.

In ver 1093, there are two new background coloring options in the Numbers Bars study: Dominant Side and Dominant Side Auction. These are similar to same named text coloring options, but affect the background color instead of the text color. The bid & ask are divided and the result compared with the compare thresholds to set the colors based on the percentage of each (i.e. bid=200 ask=400 -> b/a=50% on bid side and a/b=200% on ask side). Using the thresholds, one of the colors is selected.

Note, we will updating the documentation for these new options.

So you would set the background type to Background on Dominant Side, set the Background Coloring to Dominant Side, and compare thresholds to whatever you want. For example, from your settings in the study collection you would use 25,150,275. You would then set the bid/ask colors to whatever highlights you want to use.
