Post From: numbers bars with volume profile background

You may not have understood the issue. When using diagonal compares, both the bid and ask sides can both be dominant because three price levels are involved (bid vs higher ask and ask vs lower bid). You can see this if you turn on background coloring on dominant side (you will see times when the bid & ask boxes at the same price level are both colored). These price levels are the problem because there are now two colors to use, but we only have a single object (volume profile) to color.

The same issue is present when doing volume profile outline, but in this case the ask color is used by default when both sides are dominant, which may have fooled you into thinking it was working, when in reality you lost the bid dominant tagging.

So if both sides are dominant, which color should be used? There is currently no defined behavior for selecting between the two colors. It likely makes sense to choose the "more" dominant side, but inevitably someone will want something else.

We will be updating doc to explain this.
