Hi, I love the numbers bars but wanting to do something very difficult in its current state. I'm using the avg non zero bid and ask sizes to find statistical amounts and want to see when INCREASED selling is happing on moves up or buying on ways down. In this chart have different bollinger band levels for each and putting the values into the actual size problem is need TWO of these and difficult to space as I color the opposite side black so can't have them side by side. Suggestions for Enhancement Allow both text and background for BID side and ask side. If a person selects bid it won't plot text or the background for the ask and vice versa. Another solution is for the actual values fields have one for bid side and one for ask side which would allow me to use just one numbers bar study. Picture shows how this is so useful notice up near highs there is no selling at the highs but on one that pushes higher than the range selling comes in easy to see and its based on current stats of selling 15 sec chart averaged over last 5 mins of market activity. This shows when buying is slowing too. This is also useful in Nasdaq as it zips through levels and has micro stalls at others printing more volume. I think I'd prefer to just show bid or ask side as I'd like to add the normal candle in the middle. I had to black out the opposite side but it requires far more spacing than what would look best. |

If we are understanding this correctly, you would want an option for the "Numbers Bars Text" to display just the "Bid" and another for just the "Ask" values. This would allow you to have two columns, one that just displays the Bid and one that just displays the Asks. You can then color them using any of the coloring options that are currently available. Please let us know if this would work for what you are wanting. Note that this will be a Feature Request, and we can not say when we would get to any particular item. But we want to understand what is desired now, so when we do get to it, we will make the changes that are wanted.

Yes that absolutely would work and would let me see for example after a downtrend when there is a lot more selling than buying WHEN heavier buying comes in. It would also visually show when the selling is slowing as there'd be less red and darker vs brighter shades. Brilliant solution. |
