[[File:CDChart2.png|right|Cumulative Delta Chart]] Cumulative Delta is the algebraic sum of the single delta volume values. In comparison to [[Volume Delta]], Cumulative Delta is not based on regular bars. When the Cumulative Delta chart type is used, the price scale of the chart is transformed into volume scale and the formed bars represent not volume within regular price bars, but accumulated delta (buy - sell) of the volume per specified resolution. It can be used for analysis only. Trading directly from this chart type is not supported.
