How can I view the Bid-Ask Delta for current trades in the trading Dom?

I am referring to a visible column in the trading DOM.

Trade>Customize Trade DOM Columns...

Why is Bid-Ask difference not an option?

Can I see it through an indicator in the label column?

The closest that is available is to use the Volume by Price study:
Chart Trading and the Chart DOM: Daily Volume Profile (Volume by Price) on Trade DOM

Use this input to control the calculation method:

I am already using the VBP study with Delta settings...but I can't clear the VBP study...

I would like to request an Ask-Bid (Delta) column be added to the trade DOM columns so that a trader has a clear view of CURRENT Delta and if so desired can clear the CURRENT delta upon a new position or at their own discretion. Just as we can now with the existing options in the trade columns: pulling stacking, AV, BV, TV, etc.

why not Delta?

I would also like to have a "current trades" delta column, that can be cleared at own discretion.

For this use the Volume by Price study and then you can set the volume bars to be based upon the difference between ask volume and bid volume:

Volume By Price Study

And you can use this study to perform a reset:

I would also like to request this feature as stated by the others above. A bid-ask (delta) column in the DOM settings (not a study) would offer a much more seamless trading experience.

Hello,

This would be a really useful feature moreover if we can reset it when resetting the current bid ask using shortcuts that would be ideal.

Alternatively we could just add a "mode" to Volume by price similar to TPO that ties it to Current Bid Ask on the DOM and it gets reset along with it.

Hi Support team,

I am also very interested by a Current Delta Column for the DOM.
Using the VbP study for this purpose isn't straightforward and it also constraints the Delta data to the left side of the DOM window.
I would love to have the freedom to position this data somewhere else to make the DOM easier to read.
It would be so helpful for the fast paced markets like NQ and ES.
If this is not too much work, would you consider to add this functionality ?

God bless you for your beautiful work.
Sierra Chart is a work of art.

Hi support team
That's what I was also asking for in the following thread few days ago !
Bid/Ask Delta for current trades in DOM
It would be a great improvment for DOM trader's
You can also do it easily by repeating what you have done for Pulling/stacking delta in "Numbers bar calculated values #2" study.
We can then use it every where we want and reset it with keyboard shortcut like we can already do with pulling/stacking.
Thanks for your great work.
