Volume Study

Hello @all!
Maybe someone can enlighten me? I looked at Ask Volume, Bid Volume, and Volume. All 3 have exactly the same bar. The only difference is that the ask and bid only show half of the value. But what's the difference here? If I only want to see the Ask Volume, the same graph is displayed as with Bid Volume????
That doesn't make sense to me. Someone can help?
Thank you in advance.

Open your Tool Values Window and use the Crosshairs to go through a few of the bars and look at the specific Ask Volume and Bid Volume. Are they exactly the same values?

As we look at this more closely, it looks like everything is correct. We do see some small differences in the Bid and Ask Bars. It is natural that they will look nearly the same, as the Bid and Ask tend to have similar volumes, especially over longer time frames.

yes, the same values. I checked it again with "custum value at Y with border". What should it. I am now using BidAskDifference. That works fine. However, I suddenly have a different problem. See the screenshot. I tried an SC update, restart, manual rollover. No solution. Continuous contract is set to "none". Does somebody has any idea? Do I have to open a new topic for it?
Thanks in advance.

We are not sure exactly what you are asking.

But, in terms of the current contract, it looks like for the CL that the current contract is the M (June) contract, as it has more volume than the K (May) contract.
