I have studied the manual and I am still searching for the proper settings. I would simply like to color the text on numbers bars by 200% ...if the above level ask is >= 200% of the below level bid then text is highlighted...Reverse if the below level bid is >=200% of the above level ask the text is highlighted...my previous platform this is the only text highlighting available with prct adjust. Instructions provide detailed description, except for actual input settings on study are unclear or not matching instructions...or perhaps with different settings different drop down boxes become available. Please help with actual settings needed to replicate. Thx

The Numbers Bars is a complex setup with a lot of options. From what you describe, here are some basic settings to get what you want:
- Column 1 Numbers Bars Text: Bid Vol x Ask Vol (recommended, but not required)
- Column 1 Background Coloring Method: None - Transparent (recommended so you can see the text better)
- Column 1 Text Coloring Method: Based on Diagonal Dominant Side Ask Vol Bid Vol Percentage
- Column 1 Range 3 Up Color: Set to a color you desire for when Diagonal Ask/Bid is > 200%
- Column 1 Range 0/1/2 Up Color: Set to White
- Column 1 Range 0/1/2 Down Color: Set to White
- Column 1 Range 3 Down Color: Set to a color you desire for when the Diagonal Bid/Ask is > 200%
- Column 1 Percent Compare Thresholds: .1, .2, 2 (the first 2 numbers do not matter, but they need to be less than 2)
