Please bear with me because I'm learning...
For the drawn volume profile, if I anchor it to a price bar, are the standard deviations calculated by incorporating Bessel's correction (n-1) for a sample? Or is the data set beginning with the anchor bar treated as a complete data set?
I searched the docs but couldn't find this.

Are you referring to the "Mean Price and Standard Deviation" standard deviation? Or something else?

I’m talking about how VAH/VAL calculated. Am I not thinking about this correctly?
