Anyone know how to configure delta bars in Sierra? The cumulative delta bars study defaults to a line that trends up or down. I would prefer to see it oscilate around a zero point. I dont know what you call that configuration but an example of what I mean is in the attachment.

You could try using the DeltaMomentum from the User Contributed Studies.

You'll need to change the settings to something like this.

Use the "Study subgraphs subtract/difference" study.


Input study 1 is Main Price Graph -> Ask Volume (SG11)
Input study 2 is Main Price Graph -> Bid Volume (SG10)
Set the Value Format to "1"



On the Subgraphs tab, set the Draw Style to "Bar" and set the Auto-Coloring to "Based on +/-", and use a Green and Red for the colors, if you want to see positive values colored different from negative values. Change the short name to something meaningful like Delta, and that's really about it.

And just now I see "Ask/Bid Volume Difference Bars" ... not sure why they went with "Ask/Bid" instead of "Bid/Ask" but that's the native study you should use. :facepalm: for that one!

I knew there was one somewhere. The name doesn't make it easy to find. Haha
