From ACSIL I could access VbP and build a custom volume profile (VP). And now I want to graphically plot the profile onto the chart, is there a way to do that efficiently? I could think of something like histogram/column chart with transposed axis. I could do this easily with other library like SciChart, but I'm not sure with Sierra Chart. Or another method for me is to plot multiple rectangle...this is a nightmare for coding and performance. And yet, I don't want to use sc.AddStudyToChart because basically I don't need those extra calculations from the built-in volume profile. |

Were you ever able to find a solution for this? A little disappointed how elaborative the plotting of value areas are. TradingView has a simple "drag and drop" tool, but I moved to Sierra for a reason. |

No, I have another thread and SC Support told me they dont support this. Either doing it with custom graphic drawing or just calculation without plotting. I ended up with using SciChart and pipeline real time data from SC to my C# app. |

You state that TV has a drag and drop tool (for value areas?), if you are looking for same in Sierra Chart, then the answer is the Draw Volume Profile tool. Volume By Price Study: Draw Volume Profile You can configure the DVP however you want and have different versions, e.g. a version that shows only value areas. |

Yeah if you only need manual drawing of VP for certain period of candle chart, Sierra supports that. SC has really good VP capability.
