Description

I would like to be able to access the Cumulative Delta and Bid / Ask information by being able to call this info in Power Language and use it for indicator purposes. This would include access to the underlying Bid / Ask volume so a TPO study could be written.
As of today I can see UpTicks / DnTicks per bar. I want to see the number of trades made at the Bid and at the Ask per bar.

Steps to reproduce this issue

This feature does not exist in the Standard Edition of MultiCharts today.

As requested, I'd also like to strongly recommend that the underlying CD data be exposed via PowerLanguage, including each of the Bid/Ask values per price level within a bar. Makes for some interesting study possibilities when one can easily determine that an entire bar was formed exclusively with "all red" or "all green" CD.

When UpVol & DownVol reserved words are being used on the Volume Delta & Cumulative Delta chart types they return the total volume of all asks and bids (respectively) per bar when "Build Volume on" is set to TradeVolume. When "Build Volume on" is set to Tick Count, these reserved words return the number of ask and bid ticks in this bar. In PowerLanguage there is no direct access to the bid - ask values per each level of the Volume Delta chart. Such information can be accessed from the code in MultiCharts .NET only.

When will this be available in MC? Looks like I will be able to code what I need in SierraCharts before MC provides access to the bid and ask values per level of the volume delta chart.
