For the study Numbers Bars Calculated Values, under settings, I know there is an input to toggle "Color Background Based on Value Percentage" (ln. 16). However, is there an option to color the background based on certain criteria on the value itself? Say for example, I wish the background to be colored black if the Cumulative Sum of Ask/Bid Vol. Diff is between -1000 and 1000, is there a way to do this? Thank you.

There is not a way to color the background in the actual Numbers Bars Calculated Values study based on a particular value.

Other options:
- Use the "Study Summary Window" to view the information and set an alert that will highlight the value when it gets to a particular value. Refer to the following:
Study Summary Window: Setting Alerts and Alert Highlighting

- Use the "Color Bar Based on Alert Condition" study to create some kind of notation that you can use to know when the value is where you want it. Refer to the following:
Color Bar Based on Alert Condition

Also be aware of the following with regards to setting alerts for the Numbers Bars Calculated Values studies:
