Hi, I use the 'Ask Volume Bid Volume Difference Text' study on several charts. However, one chart has price bars too close together to use this but I would still like to have current Delta displayed in the Lable Column (as a Value Lable) of the Chart DOM. I've consulted the documentation and tried different ways to hide the delta numbers on the bars but this always results in the Value Lable disappearing as well. I've also tried using 'Text Display For Study' which does give me a current display but this cannot be used in the Lable Column (Value Lable not available) or be set to maintain position adjacent to current price, and cannot be set to change colour depending on whether positive or negative.

In summary, I would like to be able to see a text display of delta of the current price bar which maintains position adjacent to price (e.g. as it would if in Lable Column) and changes colour depending whether +ve or -ve. Is this possible?

Many thanks.

Thanks for the advice.

I have tried using the 'Subgraph & Value Lable Only Draw Style, however the scale settings have to be set to 'Independent' ('Automatic' results in distorted chart & 'Same as Region' results in Value Lable not displaying) which results in the Value Lable position not staying close to current price verticle position. Would it be possible to add 'Use Current Price For Verticle Position' to the study?

Thanks.

Hello Sierra Team,

I would like to place the Ask Bid difference text on the last price of number bar either in left centre or right side . Presently by keeping at the top and bottom , I am not able to see live when price moves very fast

The only option available, without developing a custom study, would be to use the Text Display For Study study and place the text where you want it on the chart.
