VBP 1 day - Point of control level different in spreadsheet and chart.

View Count: 1108

I am new to Sierra chart spreadsheets and just started looking at this functionality so this may be a case of human error.

When I look at the spreadsheet data for the VBP point of control on ES it gives me a reading of 1950 for the 24th June. My Sierra chart shows this level was at 1952. Other days also have different values not matching the chart with Spreadsheet. Why the difference?

thanks

How are you determining the Volume by Price Point of Control on a Spreadsheet?

And how are you determining it on the chart?

Can you post some images so we can better understand this.

How are you determining the Volume by Price Point of Control on a Spreadsheet?

-----I added a default spreadsheet study and the column VbP - 1 days "Point of control" gives the reading as per the screenshot.

And how are you determining it on the chart?

-----See attached chart showing the POC.

Can you post some images so we can better understand this.

-----See attached please.

Is the Spreadsheet Study currently on the chart?

The spreadsheet data does not make sense because there are three different values for the point of control in three different rows all next to each other. Each row in a spreadsheet is for a bar in the chart. Since the Volume Profiles span multiple bars each, you should see the same Point of Control value across multiple rows in the Spreadsheet which correspond to the chart bars the Volume Profile is across.

The chart I show you is an intraday chart because you can't see the POC on the daily chart. The levels are the same though. I attached the daily but you can't see POC.

A daily chart will give you different Point of Control levels compared to an Intraday chart. This is for certain.

Ok you have given me something to think about. I would like my POC to be aligned with how most traders see it. Thanks for the fast responses to my questions.
