Hi Alex,
Thanks for the quick reply.
My question referred to bid and ask traded volume data, whearas your reply appears to be referring to price, unless I've got the wrong end of the stick.
Esignal has a number of useful b/a vol .efs studies that access the time and sales traded bid ask volumes and plot studies in realtime. Can Multicharts do this?
I think esignal has up to 10 days T&S history, but at present the bidask studies I refer to only print in realtime upon loading and cannot access history for backfill. If it's possible to write bidask vol. studies that could access a few days of backfill that would be even better.
Thanks.

It is possible to use tick ask/bid/trade volume data for charting; what you
can try is create charts, for instance, for the Ask, Bit and Trade in the
same chart.
When applying indicators set their inputs to "volume of data1,
volume of data2, volume of data3" so they are built on the tick volume data.
