Adding previous days VP to the DOM

Hi,
I’m trying to display the previous day’s Volume Profile directly in the DOM using Volume by Price.

When I set Number of Periods Back to Reference = 1, it keeps automatically resetting back to 0.
The Volume Graph Period Type is currently set to From Session Start Time to End.

Is there a specific Period Type or setting required to reference the prior day in the DOM?
If this is not supported, are there any workarounds to display prior-day VAH/VAL/POC in the DOM?

I’d prefer not to simply display it on a regular chart.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

You have two simple solutions to do this :

1. Use the study Study/Price Overlay and take the profile from another chart ( work only for the lines -> POC, VAH/L and VWAP )

Study/Price Overlay Study

2. Instead of using a DOM type chart, use a classic chart and activate the DOM on it. Load 2 days and hide the candles. Reduce it's width like a normal DOM. This way, you can add the real volume profile from the previous day as a normal study.

Have a nice day.

The Trading DOM is special, and as such, the Volume by Price study has limited options for what it can do. The particular item you are trying to accomplish is not supported on the DOM.

Therefore, what DFromeaux states are the options available.
