+1 “Ask Bid Diagonal Difference Profile” and still need my original post "Can a "Background Coloring Method" and "Text Coloring Method" be added for the "Ask vol Bid Vol Diff Diagonal 1 side - Actual"?" |

+1 I was looking for exactly this setting today and couldn't figure it out, then reached this thread through search. The request is like other members posted: 1 sided delta based on diagonal difference, text and background option. |

Can we please bring this up in the next release? It is frustrating to not have a Volume Profile that lists just the Diagonal Ask-Bid Difference Volume.

Hi Sierra Team, Any news on a Number Bar: Background Type that has an "Ask Vol Bid Vol Diff Diagonal (Bid Side)" option? Would be great to have this feature. Thanks a lot |

We are not fully understanding what is desired here. To start with, we added options to the "Numbers Bars Text" to show the Diagonal Difference Bid Side, Ask Side and Dominant Side. But we are not sure what you are looking for in terms of the background coloring you are looking for. How exactly do you want this to work? The "Diagonal Difference Bid Side" values can be both positive and negative. How do you want the coloring done relative to the Up/Down colors? Also are you looking for a percentage or an actual value or both? If a percentage, a percentage of what? For instance, do you want positive values to use the Up colors and negative values to use the Down colors? For the percentage, is it a percentage of the largest delta value in the bar, or a percentage of the total volume of the Bid and Ask being compared (or something else)?

I think this is getting away from my actual initial request Sierra did a good job implementing my own coded study I had made. I only have 2 main questions. 1. In the screenshot, it shows the diagonal delta pretty much bang on. But why is there a "-" {negative symbol} on the buy volume side {right side}. 2. IS there also an option to do the same but Side by Side delta in the text display on top of the diagonal. I am not sure what others are asking, but sierra did a pretty good job of implementing my request and i watch it beside my own personal study. I jus have those questions above. |

for reference on my own study the diagonal delta is the left hand column, the side by side delta is the right column where i have drawn a line in between them. I think sierra got the Diagonal part down just fine, numbers match, Im just curious why the negative symbol on the buy side of the footprint. The negative side on the sell volume side totally makes sense. Is the option already there to also do a side x side detla text display? maybe i dod not see it. Thank you again for adding this, and answering the above question whenever you can. |

The MAIN issue I see here when running replays is this In the attached picture, why is the number Duplicated all the times diagonally? It doesnt make sense 1. In the bottom of 1082 size, it should show a + buying delta of 344, not 1082. On the buy side it should say 344, 2. above it -344 is repeated twice - diagonal delta should show -144 etc, why are these numbers duplicated diagonally? |

Thanks for your response John, What I'm looking for, and I believe others in the tread, is a Number Bars Profile Background Type based on Ask Vol Bid Vol Diff Diagonal Bid Side. Just like Volume Text can have a Volume Profile (Across All Columns) Background Type, it would be great if the Ask Bid Diagonal text types could have their own Background Types (the most common/importation version of the calculation being the Ask Vol Bid Vol Diff Diagonal Bid Side, I believe). At the moment the closest option is the Ask Bid Difference Profile Background Type, which does not match the Diagonal text values. Thanks so much |
