[Programming Help] - Custom range Volume by Price profile

Hi Sierra Team,

Is there a study available that works like the VbP – Visible Bars study, but allows the profile to be generated for a custom, cursor-selected range?

For example, if I wanted to analyze a specific 4.5-hour market move, I could simply select that section with the cursor, and the VbP profile would appear directly over the selected range. This would let me view that move’s profile in the context of surrounding price action, without including the non-selected visible bars in the calculation.

Here’s an example of a similar feature for NinjaTrader:

Thank you,
Marcus B

Sorry, I had searched for this feature for a while, but have just come across the "Draw Volume Profile" tool. I presume this is what I'm looking for?

hi there, is there a way to have the volume by price automatically reset in terms of range movements, example if nq moves 50 points can the volume by price be reset and start to draw again to another 50 points

There is not a built-in way to do this.

It could be done with a Custom Study where you update the Inputs for the Volume by Price study when your conditions are met. Refer to the following:
