I’m trying to create a custom indicator on my chart in it’s own panel that reads the SuperDOM BID sum and subtracts the ASK sum and plots the difference. I tried using Gemini to create the JavaScript code but the console log states it can’t read that data from the chart module. Does anyone know how this data can be accessed and then plotted somehow?

Sadly no, chart indicators have no access to the DOM.

Even though you can see the Depth of Market on the Chart?

Yeah @Lloyd_Jacobson, that’s their own code doing that, not anything custom we can tap into.
