How can I highlight ZERO's in the numbers bars? Also, if it can draw a line for one zero and a box for multiple zeros to the right side until it is taken out in its entirety. They shouldn't be locked. in case I want to delete one of them.

I tried the below method online with no success:

There is a way to highlight the zeros using the Numbers Bars study by itself, but it may interfere with the other text coloring options you are using. You could also use another column just for this highlighting as well. Here is how to do it:

- Set the Column n Text Coloring Method to Based on Separate Ask Volume Bid Volume - Actual.
- Set the first two values in the Column n Actual Volume Compare Thresholds to 0,1. Set the third value as desired.

This will then color the zeros the Column n Range 0 Up/Down Colors.

What we see is that you would have to change both the "Range 0" and "Range 1" colors in order to get the 0's colored as you want.

Your third threshold value can not be '0'. You need to change that to at a value of 2, or something more appropriate if you want specific coloring.

You need to set both the "Range 0 Up/Down Color for Text" and the "Range 1 Up/Down Color for Text" to white. Otherwise, you will end up with some blend of these first two colors and not see actual white for the text.

Attached is the chartbook with a different name. But keep in mind the way you have it setup, you would only get the White text in Column 3 when the Delta is 0, which will not be very often.

Here is the updated chartbook. We did not realize that you were wanting the delta to be zero, therefore you need to select a different Text display option.

There is not an easy way to have extension lines from the zero delta values until further intersection. You would have to create a custom study to do this. Refer to the following:
