Flow
Delta Histogram
The delta of EACH BAR in its own panel, MACD style.
Real example in the platform
Delta Histogram on the NQ, 1-minute candles built from real ticks (October 16, 2026, Rithmic feed) — a screenshot of the platform itself, factory settings.
What it does
- Bar UP when aggressive buying won the candle; DOWN when selling won — the size is the imbalance strength.
- Source = the bar footprint, so the number matches the footprint cells.
- Sibling of Cumulative Delta: that one sums the whole series, this one isolates each candle.
Options
- Up/down colors, bar width, value on top, pane height.
Settings
Everything you can change in the indicator's settings dialog, in the same order as in the platform:
- Bar width

- Pane height (px)
- Background blur
- Colors
- Up
- Down
- Paint candles
