What is Bar delta?
Aggressive buy volume minus aggressive sell volume within one bar. A bar with positive delta can still close lower.
In context
Bar delta is a total for the whole bar. Aggressive buying may dominate the first forty seconds of a one-minute bar, pushing price up, and then a burst of selling in the last twenty seconds may push price back below the open. The total delta is still positive, but the close is lower.
