This does not make sense to us.

Refer to the documentation on this page:
https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/VolumeByPrice.php

You should find on that page the documentation you need.

Sorry, I did not explain the issue clearly. What I would need is to see the "developing" VbP study on historical data, e.g. during the Replay mode. Richard

Do you want a Volume Profile displayed for each bar in the chart? Otherwise, this is not making sense to us.

The VolumeByPrice study has several options as to which data to chart.

you need to set Study -->VbP --> VolumeGraphPeriodType.

If you want the profile for each day to be independent, then you would set this to "Multiple Profiles From Start Time to End Time"
And then set the "StartTime" and "EndTime" values to match your market (for futures, in NY[EST] time, that would be StartTime: 18:00:00 [6pm] and EndTime: 17:00:00 [5pm])

If you want VbP to display profile based on all visible bars (i think this is what you want) then set Study -->VbP --> VolumeGraphPeriodType = Visible Bars

there are many other options in this setting...but i suspect these are what you are looking for

If you want the profile for each day to be independent,
In this particular case you would use Multiple Profiles Based on Fixed Time.

And set the Session Times in the Chart Settings.

Hi, thank you for detailed explanation, however I still need something different. Let me mention an example:

- I am backtesting the historical trading day in June 2016
- the session started at 8,30 am
- I use 2 min. bar chart
- the replay mode is active
- the last bar in the chart is at 13,30

What I want to see at this situation is the total VbP profile right side aligned for the whole session.

Thank you for taking care, Richard

When you say the whole session, would that be from 8:30 to 13:30?
