Custom Anchored Volume Profile Beginning Bar & POC trailing

Hello,

1) Is it possible to anchor the beginning of the Volume Profile based on any custom bar on the chart
by clicking and manually selecting a bar from which custom VolProfile would continue calculating?
I see that it can be done for Daily sessions and other typical intervals,
but is it possible to start the VolProfile from any point/bar on the chart going forward?

2) Is it possible to draw/display the Point of Control (POC) from the custom point of VolProfile going forward?
The effect would be that each time POC level changes, it would keep drawing a horizontal line/floor for all POC levels from the custom beginning point.

3) Could this be done by using a Volume Profile drawing feature/manual point and click/select custom bar to start drawing and could this be automated to start drawing VolProfiles for each Swing High/Lows etc.

Thank you very much.

1. This can be done using the "Drawn Volume Profile" tool. Refer to the following:
Volume By Price Study: Draw Volume Profile

2. Refer to the following:
Volume By Price Study: Calculate Developing POC and Value Area

3. See response in #1.

There is not a way to tie the Volume Profiles to swings (or other items such as this).

Hi John,
Thank you for the response.

RE: 2. Refer to the following:

Volume By Price Study: Calculate Developing POC and Value Area

In regards to POC, I can’t seem to find how to connect each new POC levels (stepping/ladder line) with new current POC from the start point of the VolProfile.
As the new POC is forming in real time higher or lower then previous POC, can I have all POC levels to connect thus forming a horizontal POC levels, instead of only showing the current POC?
This way I could see a trail of all previous POC levels up to the current bar for the selected VolProfile period.

Please see attached picture of POC levels (in yellow) that keep connecting each new POC in real time going forward while leaving a stepping ladder/trail for all past POC levels.

Much appreciated.

Tom
