Feature request / roadmap inquiry: Footprint text colors based on absolute delta thresholds
Subject: Feature request / roadmap inquiry: Footprint text colors based on absolute delta thresholds
Hello ATAS Team,
I would like to ask whether ATAS supports—or is planning to support—custom footprint text colors based on the sign and absolute magnitude of delta at each price level.
Competing software, DeepCharts, handles this very well in its Deep Print indicator: text coloring can use Delta as its calculation basis, with user-defined thresholds and separate colors for positive and negative values. Text colors can be configured independently of the cell background.
I would like to reproduce this behavior in ATAS on a white-background chart. For example:
Zero should have a separately configurable neutral color. The threshold and all colors should be user-configurable.
The essential requirement is that the same delta value always receives the same text color, regardless of the largest delta or volume in the candle, the visible chart area, or zoom level.
This concerns the delta at each footprint price level, not total candle delta, cumulative delta, Bid/Ask imbalance ratios, or highlighting only the maximum positive/negative delta. Background coloring should remain independently configurable.
Could you please clarify:
Can this already be achieved using native ATAS settings? If so, please provide the exact menu path and settings.
Is there an existing feature request or planned/in-progress development covering this functionality? Please share its link and status.
If it is not currently supported or planned, could you register this as a feature request?
DeepCharts already provides a clear and effective implementation of this functionality. Having equivalent control in ATAS would substantially improve footprint readability and make it easier to maintain consistent visual rules across platforms.
I would prefer to use a native solution rather than commission a custom indicator, especially if this is already on your roadmap. Screenshots of the DeepCharts configuration are available if useful.
Thank you,
Peter
