Hi, I use Ask Volume Bid Volume Difference Text with the colour of the text set to change depending on whether number is positive or negative. I would like a static display (i.e. not attached to bar top or bottom) of the current bar number but if I use Text Display for Study I cannot set it to change colour depending on -/+. Is there another way to achieve a static display of current AVBVT that will change colour according to -/+ and that can be positioned anywhere on the chart window?

Many thanks,
sirwalter

You would have to create a custom study to do this, as what you want to display is a "Stationary Text". Refer to the following:

We have updated the "Text Display for Study" and "Text Display for Study from Chart" so that coloring can be applied when the referenced value is above/below a set level. These changes will be in the next Pre-Release (v 2911).

Refer to the information for the last 4 Inputs at the following link for how this works:
