I have two studies: "Numbers bars" and "Cumulative Delta Bars". The "Numbers bars" is configured to show the profile of the Bid/Ask difference and to plot the profile based on that difference. As you see in the attached picture, on the bar 1 the "Numbers bars" is all red (so sellers are taking market bids); but the "Cumulative Delta Bars" prints the big green bar which shows that the buyers were actually winning. The same but opposite on bar 2. This interpretation must be wrong because the two contradict each other but I can't find the mistake. Secondly, on "Numbers bars" study each bar either has all the profile of fully red or fully green colors, where in reality im sure there should be a mixture (parts of the profile should be green (buyers are taking the asks) and parts should be red (sellers are taking the bids)). Why is this not the case? Thank you! Link: https://ibb.co/10nsJJd |

The coloring of the Numbers Bars is going to be determined by what you have set for the Input of Column x Background Coloring Method. It looks like you have this set to Based on Volume Percentage, in which case the coloring of the bars is going to be determined by whether it is an Up or a Down bar, not by which side is dominant. Refer to the description for this coloring option here: Numbers Bars: Background Coloring Based on Volume Percentage If you want to see each price level be Green or Red based on which side is dominant, then you would probably want to use a Background Coloring of Based on Dominant Side AskVol BidVol Percentage.
