Volume by profile study has more control over the way it colors the bars background. I am particularly referring to these 2 options:

dominant bid or ask volume coloring
dominant bid or ask volume coloring - full bar color

The Numbers bars study only shows the FULL bar color version. It doesn't have an option to show you dominant side colour as a visual percentage of the whole volume at that bar.

Can this colouring mode be implemented in Numbers please?

Thank you

The Numbers Bars study does allow you to visualize the dominant side color as a percentage of the whole volume for the bar (among many other options). Set the Background Type to Background on Dominant Side, and set the Background Coloring Method to Based on Dominant AskVol BidVol to Volume at Price Percentage.

There are many methods for coloring the Numbers Bars Backgrounds. You can find the general documentation here:
Numbers Bars: Color Settings and Logic for Numbers Bars

The documentation for the Background Type can be found here:
Numbers Bars: Numbers Bars Background Types

And the documentation for the Dominant AskVol BidVol To Volume at Price Percentage coloring can be found here:
Numbers Bars: Background Coloring Based on Dominant AskVol BidVol To Volume At Price Percentage

I did try this already but it doesn't show the volume profile like I mentioned. To make it clear I am attaching images.

I want something like attached file.

What you recommended only splits the color in 2 (50:50) and doesn't show it as a volume profile. (screenshot attached)

Thank you

Use this particular Background Type:
Ask/Bid Volume Split Profile

There are others as well like this.

Split volume profile is not the same as I showed you. A volume profile needs to be right or left aligned not centred. Can you please provide this functionality?

I did try them all and found nothing similar to the volume profile where I can have the profile left aligned and have the dominant side coloured and the rest of the volume in a different colour.

thank you

Thank you. It would be greatly appreciated as I'm missing a lot of features from number bars which is a pity. It's the only visual that provides all the data in a clean and uncluttered way.

Thank you
