Hello, Would it be possible to add the functionality to save different Tool Configs for the Draw Volume Profile tool? I prefer to keep my default volume profile settings different from the ones I commonly use when drawing a custom volume profile and it would be very helpful to be able to save the configs separately. Perhaps this functionality already exists and I'm just not aware of it. I understand it is probably not a high priority issue, but figured I'd make the suggestion.

Yup, awesome to save and click Analysis to select the type of VP you want. Can we include a simple VP function which color the profile based on time? (similar to TPO) It is very useful to provide info of price action without looking at candle. Please help. |

For some reason when I use the Draw Volume Profile Tool the first time on a chart, it'll reload the entire data and then place it. After the first time, it doesn't reload data if I draw more VPs. This happens for every different chart where I draw it for the first time. After I close the software and re-open it, same thing happens. Is there anyway to fix that from happening? Thanks |

This is normal. Although once a volume profile is on the chart, it should not reload twice when the Chartbook it is contained in is opened.

Okay. If I were to switch timeframes on that chart with the Volume Profile Tool, it takes about 1 seconds to load, whereas without the Volume Profile tool drawing, it loads it instantaneously. Is there anyway to make the charts load instantaneously when that tool is drawn? Thanks |

There is no way to change the way this works.
