Hi SC team,

I am trying to display a graph of values from number bars calculated value (ex: delta, ask bid vol ratio, etc.). please advise the most efficient way to do it. also, what would be a ACSIL function if i want to use it in my autotrader?

i also tried unsuccessfully to graph stacing/pulling number from closes 3 bid level. Please advise on it as well.

Thank you.

If we are understanding what you want, you would use the "Study Subgraph Reference" to display a set of values from the "Numbers Bars Calculated Values" study in some other form (i.e. line, bar, etc.). Refer to the following:
Study Subgraph Reference

what would be a ACSIL function if i want to use it in my autotrader?

What are you wanting to do?

i also tried unsuccessfully to graph stacing/pulling number from closes 3 bid level. Please advise on it as well.

We need more information on what you are wanting to do here.

For ACSIL, i want to take a trade if ask bid vol ratio is greater than 70% for example. what would be the function to use if i want to minimize the calculation time. i do not want to have to reference separate graph and add additional step in calculation. i want the script to pull the number as fast as possible and take a trade based on that information

Response to your last question: I want to be able to graph 3 inside level closest to the current bid level for example. Let's say that the 3 levels closest to current bid are 50, 100 and 150 (total is 300); at the next calculation the 3 level closest to current bid are 30, 80 and 130 (total is 240). i want to see -60 on the graph. basically, i am trying to gauge how many bids are getting pull at these 3 levels.

i tried the number bar calculated value study but it does not seem to be correct. i have it side by side to compare with my dom to check manually and the numbers does not match. Maybe it is easier to just get it in spreadsheet?

You would need to reference the Volume at Price data directly and do the calculation you want. Refer to the following:
ACSIL Programming Concepts: Accessing Volume at Price Data Per Bar

We are not sure why you say that the the Numbers Bars Calculated Values study is not correct. It is definitely correct. But it is possible that what you are seeing in the DOM is slightly different from what is displayed in the study, only due to timing differences. The only way to check this data is to disconnect from the Data Feed so both items can have their last update. They should match in this case.

Also, are you looking at the "Pulling/Stacking" values, or are you using something else?

With the Pulling/Stacking the number of levels that are displayed is what the Numbers Bars Calculated Values will use, so make sure that the number of levels is set correctly for what you want. Refer to the following:
Global Trade Settings Windows: Maximum Bid/Ask Market Depth Pulling/Stacking Levels (Global Settings >> Chart DOM Settings >> Other >> Other Settings)
