Numbers Bars - Calculated Values

Is there a setting in the NBCV or NBCV2 tool that can calculate:

1. Cumulative Delta over last X bars?
the only options I see are for the present bar or the cumulative bars of the entire day. If I scalp intraday the daily CD is too slow to respond to micro single bar shifts in the delta...being able to add a custom delta setting helps tremendously to find the current accum/dist over the last few minutes or bars etc.

2. POC delta?
3. Cumulative POC delta last X bars?
4. Diagonal Imbalanced Delta, per bar and cumulative over X bars

Can these be added to NBCV or NBCV2?

Or even better can I access these calcs in spreadsheet and have spreadsheet values display in NBCV grid? This way the NBCV grid can be fully user customized with background color options etc of any calculation the user wishes.

To start with, these items are not available in the Numbers Bars Calculated Values studies. Also, there is not a way to add information from another study to the Numbers Bars Calculated Values studies.

You can create a custom study that can use the same tabular format as the Numbers Bars Calculated Values. Refer to the following:
ACSIL Interface Members - sc.Subgraph Array: Numeric Information Table Graph Draw Type

The general answer for how to calculate these items over X number of bars is to use a different chart with the bar period set to the time for which you want the information, then pull the information for those bars and display it in the chart where you want to view it. You can either use the "Study/Price Overlay" or the "Text Display for Study from Chart".

1. You can get the Delta per bar from the Numbers Bars Calculated Values study.

2. You can get the delta for the POC by using the "Spreadsheet Formula" and the Alert functions for finding the Bid and Ask volumes at price as defined here:
Study/Chart Alerts And Scanning: Special Functions

You can get the POC price from the "Volume Point of Control for Bars" study. Refer to the following:
Volume Point of Control for Bars

For example, you would enter the following formula in the Spreadsheet formula:
=AVAP(ID1.SG1, 0) - BVAP(ID1.SG1, 0)

Where ID1 is the ID of the "Volume Point of Control for Bars" and SG1 is the Subgraph of the "Volume Point of Control for Bars".

3. You would have to sum up the data.

4. You would have to do the calculations for this and get the data from the Numbers Bars Calculated Values study.

Thank you for the detailed response,


I am trying to officially migrate to SC 100%. However, I cannot because there is data I can access in MC that I cant in SC.
I NEED not want the delta over last X bars in order to trade, its not optional.
I am a trader not a programmer so your custom study solution is beyond my capability.

after having been at this for hours I see potential workaround, but cant get it to work at present configuration.

The study: summation of study subgraph does exactly what I need...it allows for referencing any study including those in NBCV or NBCV2 with adjustable periodicity, but I need the data displayed in the NBCV grid, with background color changes, so i can view immediate shifts and context, not plotted as a line or graph.

the NBCV NBCV2 allows for referencing data from another chart, but it only seems to be able to reference/plot other NBCV data, because those are the only subgraph options available to be displayed. If there were additional subgraph(s) option added to NBCV or NBCV2 that allowed for referencing other data external of the NBCV or NBCV2 from the chart this could be done exactly as I need.

These additional subgraph(s) will allow all users to view virtually any data they desire into the NBCV grid, and allow SC to stop fielding requests for adding specific additional calcs to the grid. which is currently at 54, I only need 3.

Sorry, but there is not a built-in way to add items to the tabular setup that is used by the Numbers Bars Calculated Values.

The only way to do this is to create a custom study.

If you are not able to do the programming, you can hire it out. Refer to the following:
