Hello, Many thanks for getting this done. For the "Diagonal Difference Dominant Side" (Numbers Bar Text), im not understanding how its possible to show 0 (neither side is dominant). From the documentation: Ask Vol Bid Vol Diff Diagonal Dominant Side: This Numbers Bars Text Type displays the dominant side Diagonal Difference for each price level. That is, if the Bid side Diagonal Difference is greater than the Ask side Diagonal Difference, then the Bid side Diagonal Difference is displayed. If the Ask side Diagonal Difference is greater than or equal to the Bid side Diagonal Difference, then the Ask side Diagonal Difference is displayed. If neither side is dominant at a price level, a value of zero is displayed. Questions 1. Are you using the absolute value of the "AVBV diff diag - ask side" vs "AVBV diff diag - bid side " to determine which is greater? 2. How is it possible for neither side to be dominant if when bid side is greater it shows bid side value & when ask side is greater than or equal to it shows ask side value? In what case would neither be dominant? |

In a diagonal difference comparison, there are two calculations being done at each price level. The Bid at the price is compared to the Ask at the price above, and the Ask at the price is compared to the Bid at the price below. In order for the Bid to be dominant, the Bid at the price must be greater than the Ask at the next price. For the Ask to be dominant, the Ask at the price must be greater than the Bid at the lower price. If neither of these situations exist, then neither side is dominant.

Understood. Can i request another Numbers Bar option (ex. AVBV Diff Diag - Dominant Diff) where the logic is: Compare Absolute Value of "AVBV diff diag - ask side" vs "AVBV diff diag - bid side " at each price level, and print the original value whose absolute value is greater. If both sides are equal, set value equal to 0. For example: Price | AVBV DD Bid Side | AVBV DD Ask side | AVBV DD Dominant Diff 100.00 | -380 | 320 | -380 100.01 | -206 | 290 | 290 100.02 | 50 | 50 | 0 Date Time Of Last Edit: 2025-10-29 16:44:41
