Is it possible to access the same values in Numbers Bars Calculated Values SG4(+Delta Sum) and SG5(-Delta Sum) from within ACSIL without having to have the study loaded on the chart? AskVol & BidVol can be gotten using sc.AskVolume & sc.BidVolume. I could not however find a similar function for the +Delta Sum and -Delta Sum values. Thanks in advance! Mike

I think you would need to calculate it yourself from the volume at price data.

ACSIL Interface Members - Variables and Arrays: sc.VolumeAtPriceForBars

I'm afraid you correct. The data is out there it's just whether or not we can get access. What I'm looking for can also be displayed on the numbers bars by selecting "Ask Vol Bid Vol Difference" for the text. I have attached a picture of a numbers bar to illustrate this. The difference between Ask/Bid Vol and +/- Delta will always be the same of course. I'm converting the Ask/Bid Vol to percentages of the total vol of the bar so each bar can be compared equally regardless of time of day etc. When using Ask/Bid Vol the percentages for the entire bar are normally pretty close to 50/50 which doesn't help all that much. But, when comparing the +/- Delta in percentages the disparity grows and I feel gives a better accounting of the aggressiveness between buyers and sellers in the bar. I have attached a picture of spreadsheet to illustrate this using the previously mentioned bar. Thanks!
