This is a custom bar type which is based on the Bid Ask Delta (Ask Volume - Bid Volume).
A new bar is created when the Delta is greater than a given Threshold-Value defined in the Data Series Properties.
The archive also contains a custom Delta indicator specially coded to work with this bar type.
CamsVp is a volume profile indicator for NinjaTrader 8 with added features of delta, footprint and imbalance. CamsVp has great flexibility in the selection of chart regions from which to generate a profile. The start and end of regions may be defined as window, date, current, bar and daily. There is also a handy mouse drawing tool to define regions. A region may be as small as one bar or as large as computer memory capacity. There is no limit as to the number of regions that can be drawn. Granularity can be chosen to minimize computer load especially for large time span profiles. CamsVp automatically configures itself according if a chart's Tick Replay feature is enabled. Calculation mode and bid/ask delta are affected. Scales may be mixed, for instance a volume profile can be shown with a Delta scale.

Converted this indicator from NT7 to NT8. Displays the live spread updates in corner and draws dots on bars of the bid and ask. Its works on ticks, on live data only, on forex and futures only. Bring the good karma!
February 6th, 2018 10:57 PM i2w8am9ii2 This is great, thanks so much. I've been amazed at what a complete rip off the Forex bid/ask spreads are. Where I would
have been making $350 with the same price move in the futures markets, I am at a $25 loss or so in Forex. It is so impor
tant to choose the right markets that have a decent spread in Forex. Much appreciated.
March 14th, 2024 06:10 AM Leafcutter Although I downloaded this bar type years ago I never used it and didnīt realize the benefit that it provides
in terms of anticipation of the directional change...till a few months ago. In combination with the delta indicator tha
t shows the delta next to the developing bar this bartype changed a lot for me! IThe bar type would even be better if th
ere was a possibility to automatically and dynamically change the amount of delta that is necessary to form a new bar i.
e. in addiction to the change in total volume so that increasing volume means relational increasing the amount of delta
to form a new bar. I even would pay you for programming that.
