Is there a way to set the Volume Profile to display volumes from 18:00 of the previous day up to the current time? Thanks in advance! |

If you use that particular option, then it will automatically update at 18:00 to start showing the current profile starting at 18:00 each day.

Hi John! Thank you so much for your help! This is almost what I’m looking for, but it seems the earliest time is set to 00:00:00 on current day. I was hoping to start the profile at 18:00, when the evening session begins on the previous day. For example, if today is 6/30, I’d like the profile to start at 18:00 on 6/29. Is that possible? Thanks again. |

You are correct, that option does not allow for going back to the previous day - this was something we had forgotten ourselves. Does the time of 18:00:00 match up with the beginning of your session times? If so, then you can use the "Volume Graph Period Type" of "From Session Start Time to End". Refer to the following: Volume By Price Study: From Session Start Time to End Otherwise, you would need to use the option for "From Start Date-Time to End" and enter the previous day's date and time. This also means that you would need to update that date each day.

Thank you for your help John! 18:00 is not my session start, so I’ll need to manually set it daily - not ideal, but at least there is some way to do it. Thanks again! |

@User556806 Just curious, what is your session start time? and why 18:00 to start VbP? I am just trying to find a solution. |

My day session starts at 9:30, and evening session starts at 18:00. Starting from 18:00 can help me understand the total volume from the evening session for a particular day,

If your session times are: Day - 09:30:00-16:59:59 Evening - 18:00:00-09:29:59 And you want to do this: Is there a way to set the Volume Profile to display volumes from 18:00 of the previous day up to the current time?
Maybe I am missing something, but is that not just simply display volume for current trading day? Volume By Price Study: One Period from Most Recent Period Start to End Volume Graph Period Type = One Period from Most Recent Period Start to End Time Period Type for 'Fixed Time' = Day Time Period Length for 'Fixed Time' = 1 |

@User431178, Brilliant! I tested, it works, a bit counter-intuitive, it says 1 day, but actually covers 2 calendar days, makes sense though. |
