Hello. I am using Volume Per Bar in my study when I add the TPO VA Lines calculations, the VA and POC values ​​are completely different than in the TPO Profile Chart study. I know TPO is based on time and hence there may be a mismatch in the calculations but maybe you have an idea how to include VA and POC in a graph where I use Vol Per Bar or Range Per Bar?

The TPO Value Area Lines are going to be slightly different with non-Time-Based charts due to the way the bars cross the time points for the sub-period length of time. There is no fix for this other than to use time-based charts and then overlay the results onto the non-time-based. Refer to the following:

I'm actually having the same issue but my POC's are sometimes off by several points 10+. Using the TPO VAL study on a time-based chart is better but still far from perfect. I guess I'll keep adding these manually everyday.
