Hello I would like to have imbalances display and remain in bold to facilitate reading.. I cant seem to find the setting in the study that allows this. Only for Bold on the current traded bid/ask. Can anyone direct me to where? Thank you!

I guess the follow up to that would be is it possible to add a feature so "Bid / Ask Bold Threshold" in the Number Bar settings can be based off of ""Percent Compare Thresholds" setting?

There is not a way to bold the Bid/Ask when there is an imbalance within the Numbers Bars study.

We have taken note of your request for this to be added to the system. Note that we can not say when we will get to any particular feature request.

But, we also want to point out the Volume at Price Threshold Alert V2 study, which will give you a marker at an imbalance level. This can be used with the Numbers Bars Study and should give you what you want. Refer to the following (and note the section on Stacked Imbalances at the bottom of the page):

Thanks John!

Yea I use the Volume at Price Threshold Alert V2 to highlight and extend my imbalances, this works great for stacked imbalances. The screenshot I shared doesn't show this, so I attached a new one. Might help someone if they look up this thread to see an example. What I want is to see ALL imbalances as bold font so they stand out more to me, I read the number.

No pressure on the request, really not important at all. Just some aesthetic thing I'd like but don't need.

Thanks again!

Knarf01 I've tried many options in Volume at Price Threshold Alert V2 and I can NOT get stacked imbalances to display like you did.

First how do you set it for buys vs sells and secondly which option do you use to make that good looking transparent background???

You need to use two copies of the study. One for the Bids, and one for the Asks.

To get the extension lines as he did, use the "Extension Lines" along with the "Draw Extension Lines with Transparent Range". Refer to the information here:
