Delta Histogram
Tradovate has nice feature to view footprint chart(bid-ask volume), but currently lag features like bar delta and few more things. So I have created delta histogram indicator community can use this for now until we get that feature in chart itself. More

Example
Delta Candle
Delta is a key concept to understand when making trading decisions based upon traded volume. It’s the difference between the volume of market orders buying by lifting the offer price and the volume of market orders selling by hitting the bid price. In other words, if Delta is greater than zero, we had more buying than selling and if Delta is less than zero, we had more selling than buying.
Plots

Historical data doesn't contains sequence of the volumes, so you won't see high and low of delta for historical data. It's going to show candlestick delta chart only if you have it open.

Delta Divergence
Description
Delta gives us a broad sense for each bar of whether we have more aggressive buying or selling. We can compare Delta between bars to get a sense of whether supply and demand are rising or falling, Delta Divergence tells us when the delta across price bars is not moving in the same direction as price.
Example:
- Bearish Divergence ==> Price has made a new high but there was more selling than buying.
- Bullish Divergence ==> Price has made a new low but there was more buying than selling.

The VPOC of each bar (the price with the highest volume)
Description
Volume point of control(VPOC), refers to the price at which the highest volume of trading occurred. This indicator will calculate VPOC in real time for each bar
Parameter
boxColor: The color of the box around VPOC boxWidth: Depends on your chart type, box width is adjustable for best view lineOpacity: The transparency of lines lineWidth: The thickness of lines
Plots
Rectangle box around VPOC for each bid/ask bar
You can adjust the box width depends on the future contract you trade.

On Balance Volume & On Balance Volume Modified
On Balance Volume
On Balance Volume keeps a running total of volume flowing into or out of a security. When the security closes higher than the previous close, all of the day's volume is considered up-volume. A close lower than the previous day's results in all of the day's volume considered down-volume. A rising OBV is defined as a sign of smart money flowing into a security. As the public then moves into the security, both the security and the OBV will surge ahead. If the price movement precedes the OBV movement, it is called a "non-confirmation." Non-confirmations tend to occur at bull market tops or at bear market bottoms.
When the security's price closes up, the day's OBV is created by adding the day's volume to the cumulative total. The day's volume is subtracted from the cumulative total when the price closes down.
On Balance Volume Modified
The OnBalanceVolumeModified (OBVM) study is a technical indicator introduced by Vitali Apirine. It is a variation of OnBalanceVolume (OBV). In the modified version, OBV is given a smoothing (by an exponential moving average, by default). In addition, a signal line is introduced. The signal line is a slower moving average of the smoothed-out OBV.
When the main line of the OBVM is rising, the volume might be gaining positive pressure, which may further result in an increase of the price. Conversely, decreasing OBVM may signify decreasing volume pressure and a further price reduction.
The main line can also be analyzed in terms of divergences from the main price plot. The signal line can be used to identify crossovers.
