NT8 GetCurrentBidVolume() & GetCurrentAskVolume() Return same value

[saturntd]

I'm trying to get difference between GetCurrentBidVolume() & GetCurrentAskVolume() on a Tic Replay chart but both methods return the same value.
I'm using: Calculate = Calculate.OnBarClose;

long bidvol = GetCurrentBidVolume();
long askvol = GetCurrentAskVolume();
int buysellstrength = (int) askvol - (int) bidvol; //buysellstrength always = 0

Print(String.Format("{0:MMM dd HH:mm:ss} {1} {2}",Time[0],bidvol,askvol));

Any help appreciated.
Note: I couldn't download the NT8 version of BuySellStength because the NinjaEcoSystem download isn't working.

Hi saturntd, thanks for your question.

The Get methods can only be used in real time. To get historical bid/ask data, we have an example here on this page:

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/?developing_for__tick_replay.htm

See the example titled "Accessing the current best bid and ask at the time of a trade"

A working example would be the BuySellVolume indicator.

Try Chrome for your browser when downloading from the Ecosystem website, I am able to download anything while using Google Chrome.

Please let me know if I can assist any further.

Thanks Chris. the Buysellstrength indicator Emma1 sent worked fine.
I am using Chrome to download but can't get it to work. I've also tried Incognito & it doesn't work either. Not sure what happened, Chrome used to work fine, Tried 2 other browsers, no luck.

I asked my supervisor on the downloading issue and we actively looking into the problem to resolve ASAP.
