I am using the Numbers Bar study and I have the price level highlighted (yellow box) when the Bid Volume equals the Ask Volume. What I am trying to also add is a horizontal line from that price level extending to the right. The horizontal line will terminate when the subsequent price action touches that previous bid=ask price level. I have attached a jpg file which shows the highlighted boxes when bid volume equals ask volume (yellow boxes)....and I also show my desired automatic horizontal lines (in red). I am sure there is a way to get the horizontal lines to automatically be drawn on my chart...but I can not figure out how to do this. Any suggestions?

That helps. I do not know how to create an alert for drawing the lines for my specific condition. I am using 10 second bars and within that 10 second bar I want an extension line drawn at the price level when the bid volume equals the ask volume. I can create an alert using the "BidVolume vs AskVolume" study...but that study applies to the entire bar (not individual price levels). How can I create condition/alert/study that will apply to individual price levels so that I can have extension lines drawn when the bid volume = ask volume at any price level?

The yellow boxes around the equal bid/ask volume price levels is a standard setting within the Numbers Study...see attached. I tried using a Spreadsheet to utilize this information/setting....but, the information within the Spreadsheet for the Numbers Study is limited and does not show the equal bid/ask volume levels.

There should have been an option for "Column 1 with Extension Line Until Future Intersection" in the "Highlight Equal Bid Ask Volumes In", just like the Minimum, Maximum, and POC highlights. But for some reason it was never completed. We have added this option to that Input. It will be available in the next Pre-Release (v 2723).
