Rolling volume profile based on volume

View Count: 19

I have selected volume graph period type to "Specificed Volume" but I don't want separate profiles printed every so often I want a single profile attached to the right of my screen that updates based on a moving window defined by a specific volume. This is possible with time but not with volume it seems.

Is this possible at all?

You are correct that there is not an option to have a single profile based on volume.

The workaround for this would be to setup a chart that has the bars based on the volume you want. Then setup the Volume by Price to have the following Inputs:
- Volume Graph Period Type: One Period Based on Bar Count
- Number of Bars for 'Based on Bar Count': 1
- Right Align Volume Bars: Yes
- Align to Far Right: Yes

The above will give you a new profile when the new bar starts, so if you want a "rolling" profile, you would need to use multiple bars and spread the volume out among those bars. The larger the number of bars, the more granular the rolling profile will be.
