We assume that you have the following Inputs set as follows:
- Bid Volume Ask Volume Coloring Method: Difference of Bid and Ask Volume Coloring
- Draw Difference of Bid and Ask Volume Using Percent of Max Bar: Yes
- Difference of Bid and Ask Volume Coloring Percentage: 100

If we have the above correct, then what you are seeing is because you have specified that you wanted to view the delta bars stretched out to cover the full volume bars. As such, you can not compare the delta bar lengths to the total volume bar lengths. There is no relationship, apart from the largest value of each is drawn to the same point, with other values relative to that.

If you set the Input for "Draw Difference of bid and Ask Volume Using Percent of Max Bar" to "No", then you will see the delta values displayed relative to the total volume, so you can compare the bar lengths in this situation.
