The chart shows green up (buyers) and red down (sellers), the bottom shows the cumulative delta for the period. Normally the positive (green) delta is always green when positive. Lately I have seen the color still be green as in more buyers than sellers, but the number in the green bottom is a negative number. Can you help with why that is. Or what the meaning is for this scenario?
Screen shot is attached.
Thanks for the help,

For the Numbers Bars Calculated Values, do you have the Input for "Color Background Based on Value Percentage" set to "Yes" or "No"?

If "Yes", then are your "Range x Down Color(s)" green colorings or some other color (if so, what color)?

Also, exactly which subgraph are you displaying from the study?

All up ranges are green, all down ranges are red.

In the Numbers Bars Calculated Values study, if you have a negative value and it is green, when the bar closes (i.e. a new bar starts) does the color stay green or does it change to red?

If so, then this is explained in the fifth paragraph of the following section:
Numbers Bars: Calculated Values Background Coloring Logic

Otherwise, we would need to get a copy of that chart to see if we can reproduce what you are seeing. To get us a chartbook with the chart, follow these instructions:
