Is it possible to do the following?
1) Draw 1 bar per month using intraday data (each bar should start on the first day of the month)
2) Draw a volume profile for each bar (essentially a monthly volume profile)
3) Draw some custom text labels using user supplied ACSIL study on the chart using UseTool.BeginIndex and UseTool.BeginValue as the x,y coordinates.

I tried the TPO Profile Chart study with monthly profiles with Volume Profile shown next to the TPO profile. That works but I am unable to draw some text labels on the chart with ACSIL, I suppose because the TPO study when added to a chart becomes the Main Graph. I am not 100% sure why I can't draw text labels on a TPO chart.

Thanks.

1. No.

2. Yes.

3. Yes.

You definitely can do this. For an example have a look at the Bar Numbering study. You can put it on a TPO Profile Chart and it works fine.

Make sure the s_UseTool::Region the text labels are drawn in is set to 0:

That is good news. I will look into what I am doing wrong with drawing text labels in the TPO chart.

As far as drawing monthly profiles that start on the 1st day of each month is concerned, my approach is to do the following:
o) Use TPO Profile Chart study with a side by side Volume By Price study
o) Set the TPO colors so that the TPO Profile becomes invisible and I end up with just the Volume Profile on the screen

This works well for me but just to make sure, can you please comment if this is an okay way to do this and if there are more efficient ways to do this in SC at the moment.

Thanks.

What you describe does not sound like a problem. Not the most efficient way though.

We will see about adding the capability to create monthly bars from intraday data.

When you implement this:
1) I am sure the user will have the option to include or not include the Evening Session data in the Monthly Bars.
2) Please consider adding Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, and Yearly Bars based on Intraday data as well if the time permits.

Thanks.

1. Yes, of course.

2. We will only be adding Weekly and Monthly bars from Intraday data.

That will be very nice to have the Weekly and the Monthly profiles. Thanks.
