Question on NT Volume Profile

[markbb10]

Hello,

I am trying to work with the volume profile indicator and I am having some issues with understanding the settings. I have the Profile Width % set to 10 and yet the volume covers
almost the entire chart. What am I misinterpreting , also is there any way to anchor the indicator to the right edge of the chart as opposed to the bars, having it attached to the bars gets very cluttered. Any help appreciated .

Hello markbb10,

Thanks for your post

It sounds like you want to use the Composite setting for your Profile period. A composite profile is a single profile drawn as an overlay on the entire chart that is composed of data defined by the 'Compose by' sub property that is exposed when this mode is selected. You want to make sure that the data you wish to compose a profile of actually exists on your chart to have a complete profile. You may need to right click on the chart > Data Series > and increase the days to load for the chart.

The Profile Width would not be the based on the width of the entire chart- This will be in pixels or in percentage, depending on the profile period selection. With percentage it indicates what percentage of space between sessions the bars will take. With pixels it will be how many pixels of space the bars will take.

Additionally you might want to use the Profile alignment setting of Right instead of Left.

Please let me know if I may be of any further assistance.
