Volume by Price - Maximum Delta Bar Width

In the Volume by Price study, is there a way to control the Maximum Delta Bar Width independently from the Maximum Volume Bar Width?
With Ninja Trader it is straight forward to have control over those settings that I can not see in the VbP study by Sierrachart.


Maximum Delta Bar Width Percentage
Right Align Delta Bars


If you take a look at this picture it should be clear what I mean.

Thank you.

The width of a Volume by Price volume bar is based on the Displayed Volume as defined in the Input - Volume Bar Calculation Method.

Keep in mind, though, that if the Input for Bid Volume/Ask Volume Coloring Method is set to anything other than None, then the bars may be extended longer depending on the combination of these settings.

I tryed the Dominant Bid Or Ask Volume Coloring (#2) and I see that it draws the dominant side available with Separate Bid/Ask Volume Coloring (#1).
This is the total volume of the dominant side and I'm not interested in it; what I'm looking for is the Difference Of Bid And Ask Volume Coloring (#3).
But as you can see in picture #3 , it is not clear so I'm asking for

1) an amplification factor of the Difference Of Bid And Ask Volume Coloring as you can see in picture #4 without the need of two different VbP studies.
2) and the option to invert the Delta profile orientation (picture #5) ; both inside the VbP settings.

Thank You

any comment by sierrachart about that?
I'm just asking for a better visualization of what you already calculate.

Thank you.

Dear Support,
I repeat what I'm loooking for

Looking at the attached pitcure, you can see in #1 the default Volume by Price with the Bid Volume and Ask Volume Coloring Method = Difference Of Bid And Ask Volume Coloring.

Because I don't have control over the width of the Difference Of Bid And Ask Volume Coloring, in #2 I had to overlay a second VbP changing the Volume Bar Calculation Method to Ask Volume - Bid Volume, that way I can control it.
For this to be usable also in the Draw Volume Profile, I need two controls inside the Volume by Price study; they could be named something like:
Maximum Delta Bar Width Type
Maximum Delta Bar Width Percentage

They both must be independent from their respective Volume Settings ( Maximum Volume Bar Width Type and Maximum Volume Bar Width Percentage)

In number #3 you can see that I had set the Right Align Volume Bars options to Yes in the overlayed VbP
For this I need an option independent from the Right Align Volume Bars named something like:
Right Align Delta Bars


Thank You

Image 3 is what SC Engineers should be aiming for as it gives in my opinion the best way of seeing volume and delta side by side.

Is there finally any solution after several requests from different people?
