Dear Support

I created a Volume Profile which works great on daily timeframe. But if i switch to the 30 min chart to see the profile in the 30mins, it all get messed up. Searched for hours to fix this issue but didn't found a solution. Can you help me please? I just want to see the volume profile and switch it from daily to 30 min or otherwise to weekly view.

Thanks for your support.

What is the problem that you are seeing with the Volume by Price study on the 30 minute bar chart?

It is not clear for us.

If i switch to the 30 minute chart, only one volume profile is displayed on the left side and showing the volume for the hole day... if i switch to the 30 min chart, i want to see for every 30 minutes a separate volume profile, if i switch to the 5 minute chart, i want to see for every 5 minute a volume profile, etc. Thanks for the help.

To do what you want, you would need to set your Volume Graph Period Type to Multiple Profiles Based on Bar Count and then set the Number of Bars for 'Based on Bar Count' to 1. Refer to the information for these Inputs starting here:

Thanks for the advise, if i set the Volume Graph Period Type to "Multiple Profiles Based on Bar Count" and the Number of Bars for "Based on Bar Count" to 1 my profiles looks like in the added print-screen... no idea why...

When you set your profile to be Daily data, you need to ensure that you are still working with the Intraday data. To do this, set the Chart >> Chart Settings >> Main Settings >> Chart Data Type to Intraday Data Only. Refer to the information here:
