Why do you state that the "Ask Volume Bid Volume Difference Percent" is calculating the difference between the Ask Volume and Bid Volume in Percent?

It is not - it is calculating the Delta (Ask Volume - Bid Volume) divided by the total volume in the bar. Which is what you are asking for. Try it - add the "Ask Volume Bid Volume Difference" subgraph and the "Total Volume" subgraph and the "Ask Volume Bid Volume Difference Percent" and divide the Delta by the Total Volume. You will see that it gives you the same answer as what is in the "Ask Volume Bid Volume Difference Percent".

If you are not seeing the "Ask Volume Bid Volume Difference Percent" displayed as a percentage (Delta/Volume * 100), then you just need to set the Input for the Numbers Bars Calculated Values for "Display Percent Values as Decimal or Percentage" and set it to "Percentage".
