Setting the Gauge Lookback Periods
The study supports multiple lookback periods in a single widget.
The study includes a setting “Gauge List” where you can enter a comma separated list of lookback periods.
Supports up to 5 values which gives up to 5 gauges in one window.
You can define the lookback in seconds, number of trades or the number of bars.
Seconds - for example 60s would give the buying volume, selling volume and delta within the last 60 seconds
Trades - for example 60t would give the buying volume, selling volume and delta within the last 60 trades
Bars - for example 3b would give the buying volume, selling volume and delta within the last 3 bars. The bar count starts from the current live bar. So a value of 3 means the current bar and two bars back
Example
60s, 90s, 600s - creates 3 gauges, 60 seconds, 90 seconds and 600 seconds
Gauge Width - control the width of each gauge - enter a list of %'s or leave empty if you just want them to all be the same. For example in the image above, we have 3 gauges set to 25,25 and 50
