Hi, Is it possible to color the numbers bars background based on AskVol/BidVol Percentage taking all visible bars or bars from the start of the session into consideration? Instead of using a single bar to determine the shading? If this is not currently possible would it be something you guys would consider adding in the future? I have tried using some of the 'Actual' methods but can't quite achieve the desired effect. Many Thanks! Date Time Of Last Edit: 2020-05-16 22:44:24

Would be interested in this as well! Coloring based on relative volume of a Day.

The numbers bars calculated values have the option to select the value for : "Determine Maximum/Minimum values for Background From" with options All data and Daily data (see attached image). That option would be really useful with footprint bars shading for spotting the relative changes of volume present. Also, if there would be Daily, Weekly and Monthly options available this would be perfect. Best regards, LS

We have added the ability to use the Maximum/Minimum values for the entire trading day instead of just within a bar to the Numbers Bars. This is available for the following coloring types: - Based on Volume Percentage - Based on Trades Percentage - Based on AskVol/BidVol Percentage - Based on AskVol BidVol Diagonal Difference Percentage of Bar Range - Based on Separate AskVol/BidVol Percentage - Based on AskVol BidVol Difference Percentage of Max Dominant Side To use this, you set the Input for Determine Maximum/Minimum Values for Coloring From to Daily Data. This will be in Pre-Release 2147. For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing

Hi, is it possible to have coloring based on all visible bars? (as opposed to e.g. daily data or just all bars loaded on the chart). Posting here as it seems relevant to the original topic, thanks.

No updates on this. When we mark something as a Feature Request it just means that we recognize the request as something to be done, but we can not say when, or if, any particular request will get done.
