Hello,
this is about Number Bars "Determine Maximum/Minimum Values for Coloring From" BAR/DAY setting
( Numbers Bars: Determine Maximum/Minimum Values for Coloring From )

Can you please enable BAR calculation for background and text coloring option:

"Based on Diagonal Dominant AskVol BidVol - Actual" ?


The reason I ask this is that this setting is much less useful after a period of high volume in the day: any subsequent bar's high volume levels are all of the same color so we miss high cluster volumes we would otherwise see if the calculation was available also on BAR. So this setting is currently not as useful as it could be.
As you can see on the screenshot this is later in the day, and the only red volume that is clearer in color is the 253 on the right of the chart.

Thank you in advance.

Based on Diagonal Dominant AskVol BidVol - Actual uses 'Column # Actual Volume Compare Thresholds' - Numbers Bars: Column # Actual Volume Compare Thresholds

So this statement is not correct:

Change the appropriate setting and you will see, for example - Column 1 Actual Volume Compare Thresholds (In:112)

All of the Numbers Bars calculations are available with the Determine Maximum/Minimum Values for Coloring From set to Bar.

There are only a handful of the options that can calculate the Minimum/Maximum from Daily data and the Based on Diagonal Dominant AskVol BidVol - Actual is not one of them. Refer to the information here:
