Volume Profile Composite NT8 - User Defined Start and End

[waverider]

Hi, just wondering if it's possible to plot an Order Flow Volume Profile - Composite by selecting an area on the chart. That is, by selecting an area one is effectively selecting a 'from and to' date / time over which to draw the composite profile. I would be working on daily charts. Second, whether it would be possible to do that multiple times on the same chart?

That said, I'm unclear on the difference between "Compose By" CHART or VISIBLE SCREEN RANGE, as they seem the same to me?

Thanks!

Hello waverider,

Thanks for your post.

To accomplish your goal of selecting on the chart, please use the drawing tool "Order Flow Volume Profile" found under the pencil icon on the chart. This will allow you to draw a rectangle that defines your from and to for the composite. Like other drawing tools, you can configure your settings and save them as a template and/or set your drawing tool Volume profile default to your preferences.

Regarding, "... I'm unclear on the difference between "Compose By" CHART or VISIBLE SCREEN RANGE,"
From the help guide section " Understanding Composite Profiles":
Chart - All the data available in the charts 'Start date' and 'End Date' are displayed in the profile.
Visible Screen Range - The profile will dynamically update based on the data determined from the first bar in view in the chart and the last bar in view on the chart. Moving the chart from left to right will change what data is displayed in the profile
