Hi there,
I am using the Number Bars study on my chart and it seems that the (Ask Vol- Bid Vol) is coming wrong on few columns and then its correct on few columns.

The 6the column in the calculated Values study shows -1877 when clearly if you count, the value is off.

I have attached the chart settings file for this chart. I also made sure that I have Tick Data. I am also using a paid data feed.

Thanks.

Ok fine. Here is the 6th column total. I add the right side (Ask Vol) and substract from the total of the Bid Vol (Left Side).

Ask Vol - Bid Vol = (91+848+243+734+146+399) - (37+12+766+463+784+846+748) = -1195.
But the calculated values show -1877.
How come ?

The column width is too narrow. You are not seeing the full numbers.

You are absolutely right. When I zoomed in, I see the complete numbers.

Sorry my bad. Appreciate your prompt reply.

One last question: Can you please tell me why are some numbers text in WHITE color and rest in RED/Green. I expect Red when BID is greater than Ask and Green when Vice Versa.
For example, in the same 6the column, the third row 766|243, both are WHITE. I don't know why and what it means ? Can you please tell me . ? Do you need the studies section to determine ?
