I've found that the Profile style/mode seems to be creating histogram bars only of imbalances and not relative delta values per price . The numbers mode shows delta bars without imbalances while the profile mode does not;it showed up in the side x side comparison when numbers min imbalance=0.3 / profile min imbalance=1 .

SORRY!!

In my prior 12/09 post I didn't really show good comparison with equal min imbalance values. Here is a more representative apples 2 apples with the only difference being an active imbalance (numbers mode) vs inactive (profile mode). On minutes 56 & 57 @ prices without imbalances, you can see the numbers mode shows colored delta histogram bars whereas in the profile mode those same price levels are missing colored delta histogram bars:

Footprint_profile_Delta(2)


Hope I've got it right this time.
Thanks
Bruce

What a day..........spent some time on the beach during the shark attacks. Left Profile is NT8 Volumetric 1 minute; Right is FootprintV2 1 minute in profile mode. Also screenshots of each respective settings templates. In hindsight seems to have been a moment in time where we were oversold (per my bag of tricks chart RSI) and exhaustion/absorption Delta/imbalance:

Best of both worlds?

VolumetricNT8_FootprintV2


Maybe leave well enough alone.......

DAY 2 Nice calm day to watch side x side both NT8 Volumetric & FootprintV2. Seems their histogram bar format compliment each other visually where the NT8 profile (left) shows Delta and Mike's FootprintV2 (right) displays similarly but just imbalances. Check this out:





Looks like together for those visually oriented left histo of delta while right histo of imbalances can indicate possible exhaustion/absorption for a retracement fade entry with the trend? BTW I compared Mike's imbalance calculation to NT8's and looks like Mike's 0.3 imbalance min is roughly equivalent to NT's 1.8 min. the difference being V2 is a ratio to the total diagonal greater net of BOT/SOLD deltas where as NT's ratio is only the greater BOT/SOLD. I think:




As always Thanks Mike the histogram is beautiful for us numerically challenged no matter how you got there; look up how the slinky was invented.....history channel Toys that made America Great.

Bruce

@mk77ch - amazing work!

I was wondering if an ALERT can be provided also for the VOLUME - not only for the imbalance?

Additionally - the numbers figures of volume on top of profiles cannot be configured it seems and are super small...is there a way to add a choice of Font Size?

Thanks in advance,
S.

I have downloaded and installed the indicator.
All I am getting is a jumbled display like this image -


What settings I have to play with?
Data Series is a 15-minute chart.

what a wonderful job and generosity to provide this code for free to all here .
thank you mk77ch !!!

through the hint of Stone78 I have found an indicator that I think is a great addition to the theme volume.
it is called volume filter and can be downloaded here:

https://ninjatraderecosystem.com/user-app-share-download/nt8-orderflow/

i am trading tick charts with the better indicators from Barry Taylor

left 4500 tick, middle 1500 and right now FootPrint

the blue bars are the proffesional bars

now in combination with the volume filter showing the delta and the FootPrint chart i can find important levels
much mor better as with the proffesionals alone

last week, 30-12. at the opening, my time 15:30 big circle and delta,
at 15:50 circle right at the lows

all the best for 2023 to all here !!

Thank you Falco for your post and screenshots. My trading method is VERY similar to yours.
I have experience with Barry's indicators and still use them. For professional bars, Barry uses average size.
This was a good method 10 years ago. With HFT trading, I do not believe that his method would account for a very fast forming bar with many smaller trades. I have used PACE OF TAPE found in the Ninjatrader Support Group which colors the background or the bar when the bar forms very quickly with lower average trade size. https://forum.ninjatrader.com/forum/ninjascript-file-sharing/ninjascript-file-sharing-discussion/30661-measuring-trade-intensity-with-the-free-pace-of-tape-indicator/page2

I also assume that this is professional activity on tick charts. Good luck.
Ralph.

I also find the numbers to be a bit small . . . does anybody have an idea on how to change them, or where to look into the code to do it? Thanks.
