The Delta Buy\/Sell<\/em> indicator tracks the difference between what is considered buying volume and selling volume over a specific time frame corresponding to the resolution of the underlying chart. In other words, if the underlying chart has a 1-Minute resolution, the difference (delta) will be calculated as the difference between ASK quantities minus BID quantities accumulated over each single minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is an oscillator that oscillates around zero. A positive indicator value will highlight a majority of buyers. Conversely, a negative value will highlight a majority of sellers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To calculate Delta Buy\/Sell, 1-tick data is required. If your data feed does not provide historical 1-tick data, the indicator will be calculated only based on real-time data. Therefore, you will not see the historical part of the indicator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Delta Buy\/Sell – CUMULATIVE<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The value of the cumulative<\/strong> Delta Buy\/Sell<\/em> indicator is the difference between the bought (ASK) and sold (BID) volumes accumulated up to that point. The indicator is calculated at the session level and reset at the beginning of each session. It can also be calculated only during a specific time interval within the session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
