Bar alignment

The bar alignment allows you to choose how you want to align the candle + numbers inside the entire bar
This is very usefull if you are using only displaying text in the left or right cell and use the other cell  to display a histogram in the background.

Center:
The candle + numbers + cell backgrounds get centered inside the entire bar.
Use this if you dont use any cell backgrounds, or when you use both left and right cell backgrounds

Left
The candle + numbers + cell backgrounds get left aligned inside the entire bar.
You might want to choose this when you are using a right cell background and no left cell background

Right
The candle + numbers + cell backgrounds get right aligned inside the entire bar.
You might want to choose this when you are using a left cell background and no right cell background

Left / Right Cell Background - Brick vs Histogram

You have the option to display the background of the left or right cell in either brick or histogram style. If you choose brick style, the background will cover the entire cell similar to the appearance of a brick. Conversely, if you select histogram style, the width of each price level will vary based on the chosen value, such as volume or delta. It's worth noting that you have complete freedom to customize the left cell separately from the right cell.

Brick
The entire cell background gets filled a color (which color gets determined by the options described below)

Histogram:
The background will show a histogram where the width of peach price level is based on the chosen value (see above) 
E.g. if you have choosen volume then the histogram will show the volume traded at each price level
and if you have chosen horizontal delta.. then the histogram will show the horizontal delta for each price level

Brick Style background

Left / Right Cell Background - Scaling

The width and shade of the histogram are dependent on the selected scaling type. You have the option to choose between bar, chart, session, and all. If you select bar, the width and shade of the histogram will be solely based on the bar itself. However, if you choose chart, the width and shade will be based on all bars visible on the chart. In the case of session, the histogram's width and shade will be based on all bars in the current session thus far, and for all, it will be based on all loaded bars.

Bar:
The width of each price level of the histogram is based on the bar only.

Chart
The width of each price level of the histogram is based on all bars visible on your chart

Session:
The width of each price level of the histogram is based on all bars in the current session.

All
The width of each price level of the histogram is based on all bars loaded .

Left / Right Cell Background - Color Type

When selecting the cell background color, you can opt for a solid or gradient effect. If you choose a solid color, the background will be comprised of only two customizable colors. Conversely, if you choose a gradient, the cell background color will display a shade between the two customizable colors, with the degree of shading varying based on the value.

Solid colors

Gradient colors

Left / Right Cell Background - Color Source

The source of color determines the criteria for selecting which color to use. For instance, if the color source is set to delta, a negative delta value would result in the selection of the red color, while a positive delta value would result in the selection of blue. It's worth noting that the colors can be customized. In addition to delta, other options for color selection include trades, bid, ask, and neutral.

Delta:
The cell background color gets determined by the horizontal delta.
A positive delta will be colored with the positive color (here blue).
A negative horizontal delta will be colored with the negative color (here magenta)

Neutral:
The entire cell background will be displayed with the neutral color

Trades:
The cell background color gets determined by the number trades
When there are more trades on the ask than the offer then the cell background color will be shown in the positive color.
However if there where more trades on the bid than on the offer then the cell background will be colored with the negative color

Imbalances:
The cell background color gets determined by whether there is a buy or sell imbalance.
If there is a buy imbalance then the cell background color will be shown in the positive color.
If  there is a sell imbalance then the cell background will be colored with the negative color

Color source: Delta

Color source: Neutral

Color source: Trades

Color source: Imbalances

Left / Right Cell Background - Color Direction

The color direction determines whether the cell will be shaded in a darker or lighter shade.
Opting for a Light->Dark direction will result in low values being colored with a lighter sjade and high values with a darker one.
Conversely, Dark->Light will color low values with a darker shade and high values with a lighter one

Light->Dark

Dark->Light

Left / Right Cell Background - Number of colors

The number of color options dictates the number of color shade variations displayed for each color (such as red or blue) when gradient colors are activated. A greater number of options corresponds to a higher number of shades shown
A lower number corresponds to less shades.
If you look  carefully between these 2 screenshots you will see that the right image has more subtile shades then the left one

2 shades / color

Entire bar background

Besides choosing a left/right cell background there is also an option to choose the background for the entire bar.
When enabled the background of the entire bar will be colored by the settings you choose. 

You can base the bar background coloring on
- Total Volume
- Total Delta
- Delta / Volume %
- Total Diagonal Delta
- Total # of trades

And just like with the cell backgrounds you can choose the scaling, color type, color source, color direction, style  and number of colors here too

On the right we see an example where the bar background displays the volume traded at that price level
Darker shades indicate higher volume was traded and lighter shades indicate lighter volume was traded at that price level

The bar background color (green/red) is based on delta. A green color is used to indicator positive delta and a red color for negative delta (of course these can be fully customized)

Finally we see that the right cell displays the horizontal delta as text and as histogram background
Here blue indicates positive delta and red indicates negative delta. Again you can customize everything to your liking

Tick aggregation

The tick aggregation option is a setting that determines how many price changes, or ticks, are grouped together to form a single data point. This setting is important because it affects the level of detail displayed

For example, if the tick aggregation is set to 1, each data point in the indicator represents a single tick at a specific price level. This provides a very detailed view of the trading activity but can also be overwhelming due to the large number of individual data points displayed.

On the other hand, if the tick aggregation is set to a higher number, such as 10, each data point  represents the trading activity for a group of 10 ticks at a specific price level. This provides a less detailed view of the trading activity but can make it easier to identify patterns and trends in the data.

With tick aggregation (6 ticks) NQ-5min 

Without tick aggregation NQ-5min

Show last traded tick

When enabled this will highlight the last price/tick traded on the current forming bar with a yellow background. It allows you to quickly spot where current price is.. You can of course change the color.

Point of Control and Value Area

The POC or point of control is the price level where most volume was traded within the bar. By default its highlighted by a grey background and a outline around the price level. The value area is where 70% of all volume was traded in the bar and by default its highlighted by a red background for red bars and green background for green bars

Up to 3 POC's

The indicator can show the top 3 POC's (Point of control) for each bar.  These are the 3 levels were most most volume was traded. By default only 1 POC will be shown (the price level with the most traded volume in the bar) , but you can turn the other 2 on/off in the settings

Continuous POC's

A continuous POC happens when 2 or more candles both have their POC at exactly the same price level
This is an indication that the POC is a strong level and might act as a support & resistance level.

Continous POC's will be highlighted using a different color (yellow by
default). On the right you can see 2 bars with the same POC price

Bullish/Bearish POC

Each bar has a POC (Point of control) which is the price level where most volume in that bar was traded.

When markets are in a normal state we expect the POC to be in the middle of the bar. In up trending markets we expect them to be in the upper 3rd of the bar and in a bearish trend we want to see them in the bottom 3rd of the bar

An bullish or bearish POC is a POC that shows up at the extreme top or bottom of the bar. Its a good reversal signal which indicate that aggresive buyers/sellers stepped in and prevented the price from going lower ( or higher)

 RULES:
- Green bar with POC in the lowest 3 price levels of the bar 
- Red bar with POC in the upper 3 price levels of the bar

Note you can define the number of price levels. By default its 3 which should be fine for markets like ES. For other markets you might want to change it

Lookback period
You can also define lookback period. When set it will only show a bullish / bearish poc if this bar is the highest (or lowest) bar over the last x bars where x is defined as the lookback period

POC Gaps

A POC gap occurs when the POC of a bar is above the previous bar high price or below the previous bar low price and is a clear bullish or bearish sign.

Value areas

Value area

The value area is the area where 70% (can be changed) of the total volume of the bar was traded. By default the value area for a bar will be green for an up candle and red for a down candle. But like everything else, you can fully customize all colors.

The value area can also be extended to the right for a fixed number or bars,  until broken , or until tested

Engulfing Value area

An engulfing Value area appears when the value area of the current bar completely engulfs the value area of the previous bar.

On the left we see a green bar which value area gets completely engulfed by the next red bar's  value area

You can assign separate colors to bullish & bearish engulfing value area's. In this example the engulfing area has a purple kind of color so its easy to recognize as an engulfing value area instead of a normal value area. 

Value area gaps

An value area gap occur when the value area of the current bar is completely above or completely below the value area of the previous bar. 

Value area gaps are often signs that aggresive buyers/sellers are entered the markt trying to push the price higher/lower.

Value area gaps are shown with different color (customizable) to easy distinguish them from the normal value area's

Value Area Color schemes, based on Candle Close or Candle color

The value area for a bar can use one of of the following color schemes.

- Candle color
The value area will be colored red for red bars and green for green bars,

-Candle close:
The value area will be colored based on whether the close of the candle lies inside or outside the value area.
If the close is inside the value area, the value area will be colored grey.
If the close is above the value area high it will be colored green, and if its below the value area low it will be colored red
