Post From: Numbers bars, different thresholds and colors for text and backgorund in same column?

Hi,

I'm trying to configure the Numbers Bars studies but I'm having trouble to get it to do what I need. I think it might not be currently possible, in which case I'd like to suggest this as a feature request.

What I'm trying to do is this:

1) Have just 1 column on the numbers bars
2) Show a full background
3) Show bid x ask text
4) Have the background be colored with a given set of colors
5) Have the text be colored with a different set of colors
6) Configure different thresholds for the Background colors and the Text colors, in which both are percentages (background is "based on askvol/bidvol percentage", and text is "based on diagonal dominant side askvol bidvol percentage")

I can easily configure 1 through 5: the first few inputs on the study (In:16 - In:27) together with the "Column 1 Percent Compare Thresholds (In:91)", and then the separate colors for Text Coloring Method (In:103 - In:111) allow me to do that.

But I can't configure 6 above. It seems like I'd need something like "use separate thresholds for Text" and then a separate box to configure those thresholds for text. But I don't think there's such an option.

As a workaround, I have separated the background on Column 1 and the text on Column 2. In other words, by relaxing my requirement 1 above, I can implement requirement 6 by using two different columns. But I really want a single column, to be able to fit more information in one screen.

Could you please advise?

Thanks
