Numbers Bars question.

Hi.

I have the background coloring method set to "based on dominant side askvol bidvol percentage". And bid/ask minimum volume compare threshold set to 1. But I'm still getting max color at the extremes of the bars with 0 at bid or offer.

What I want to achieve is have the background color be based on the delta at same price level. So that if one side is more dominant by 2, 3, 4 times more size the color gets darker. And that's what I already got.

But I don't want extreme colors at high or low of the bar if we get 0 on either side. Should I use different settings to achieve that?

Thank you.

There is not a way to do what you are asking.

The Bid/Ask Minimum Volume Compare only comes into play when both the Bid and Ask are below the set value, not just one of them.

We would have to add what you are looking for to the system. As such, we have marked this as a Feature Request.

This was resolved with these new Inputs:
