hi!

pls check the attached screenshot

i am using 2 columns in #s bars (2nd column is bid/ask diff) and
1. the max value is set to green and it's highlighted though it's not selecting the max
2. the min value is set to red and it's not showing at all

pls advise what I am doing wrong

We are not sure why it is not highlighting the Minimum, but you can work around the issue for now by changing the Input for Highlight Maximum/Minimum Value Based On to Ask Volume Bid Volume Difference. Refer to the information here:
Numbers Bars: Highlight Maximum/Minimum Value Based On

We will look into why the option for Automatic is not allowing for both Maximum and Minimum.

I will use the suggested workaround

another issue is in the attached screenshot - why do I highlight column 2? was expecting only column 1 (in order to highlight imbalance )

The reason why you have the yellow coloring in Column 2 is that the option for Use Separate Colors for Text Coloring Method applies to all the displayed columns, not just the first one. So you must have a Text Coloring Option set for Column 2, which is then using the colors from those settings.

If you do not want Column 2 to display any coloring, then just make sure that the Input for Column 2 Text Coloring Method is set to None. Refer to the information here:
Numbers Bars: Column # Text Coloring Method

Column 2 Text Coloring Method was set to None and it solved it
yet I hope it will not prevent me from coloring the min. and max values per column 2
would suggest adding the ability to control specific column via "Use Separate Colors for Text Coloring Method"

thanks and waiting for the min/max issue resolve

We have resolved the issue the Automatic Highlighting when there is more than 1 column. This will be in the next Pre-Release (v 2219).
