The current quote window contains only one piece of information I am interested in. The bid/ask difference.
How do I get this to display in the chart header (or on the chart somewhere) instead of having the current quote window open the entire time?

Thanks.

Will see if we can add this field to the Chart Header.

For now use the DOM Graph for this information. Refer to:
Trade Menu: Draw DOM Graph on Chart (Trade menu)

For that purpose I am using the Study "AskVolume Bid Volume Difference Text" (see pic with the settings)

Yes, that is true. There is that study. We forgot about that.

But actually that study does not give them what they want. They want to know the difference between the Ask and Bid prices.

Add the Time and Sales Bid & Ask Study as hidden
Add the Study Subgraphs Subtract/Difference to create ask-bid from the hidden study

I am using these three studies to get the figure Im after:

Time and Sales Bid & Ask (hidden)
Study Subgraphs Subtract/Difference (hidden)
Study Subgraph multiply

How do I display the result in the header now?

@Grants - I would do it on this way (quick and dirty solution).

What you prepared in Region 2 make also in Region 1 but set the DrawStyle of the Subgraphs on "Hidden" and maybe you have to change the scale (Settinggs and Inputs) in Independent

@nicktrader yep that does it!
Thanks for your help.

Untick 'display study name' to get the spread value only.

Is there an easier way to do this now? If not would someone mind explaining how to get the end goal of the bid/ask spread in the header?
