Good day,
I'm using Number Bars study with "Text On Dominant Side Auction" setting. In this case study colors all numbers according to the rule. Is it possible to color not all numbers but those which have big difference between bid and ask volume? E.g. color bid if it is more than 200% of ask volume and color ask if it is more that 200% of bid volume. All other numbers have the same neutral color. I don't need to see the total picture but I'd like to be able quickly see where is the main difference between bid and ask volumes.

To do this you should set your compare thresholds input to "200,200,200". This is effectively using a single threshold level of 200%. Doing this will use two colors. Set the first color (0-25%) to the current text color, and the second color (26-50%) to your desired highlighted text color. This should be repeated for the Up and Down colors.

Thanks a lot! Just one comment - I think you misprinted with second color. It should be set for 76-100%. This is written in the SC manual and this works so at my chart.

"The Bid Volume text at a price level will be colored the Column # Down 76-100% Color if it is greater than the Ask Volume at the next higher price level..."

Thanks again.
