Is it possible to create a separate volume profile aligned with each "split out" 30 minute sub-period of a classic TPO chart? Or is the only option to use the numbers bars study, which is basically the same, but not in classic TPO format? Thank you.

Whenever you split a TPO profile, the two profiles from that split will each have their own Volume Profile if you have the Volume by Price study on the chart. How are you doing the split?

I have at present simply: 1.) the TPO study with traditional settings(i.e. letter based 30 minute sub periods)with session time 09:30 EST to 16:14:59 EST, use Evening session 18:00:00 EST to 09:29:59 EST...and 2.) Traditional VbP study "Based on TPO Chart" w/ "Time Period Price for Fixed by Time"=1 and "Time Period Length for Fixed by Time"=1. This renders, of course, the classic, traditional cumulative volume histogram matching the TPO chart with a separate profile (both TPO and Volume) for each Session. In answer to your question: I split them manually from Chart Shortcut Menu, sometimes for the whole day session ("Letters/Blocks in own Columns"), but sometimes at a specific point in the day I'll also manually split them into different segments("Split Profile Here") as per my particular desire for analysis at any given moment dynamically. It would be nice to be able to split at will and, whilst always retaining the main cumulative histogram for the session, be able to just isolate a volume profile for one particular "bar", especially the current bar in progress forming. My immediate goal is to have a classic/cumulative profile for the whole session as well as one for the/each ( "an", ideally)sub period/"bar". Thank you. |

correction to last post..." 2.) Traditional VbP study "Based on TPO Chart" w/ "Time Period Price for Fixed by Time"=1 " should read " 2.) Traditional VbP study "Based on TPO Chart" w/ "Time Period TYPE for Fixed by Time"=DAYS..sorry

Further clarification: " My immediate goal is to have a classic/cumulative profile for the whole session as well as one for the/each ( "an", ideally)sub period/"bar"." should read: " My immediate goal is to have a classic TPO letter chart with accompanying cumulative VOLUME profile for each WHOLE Session (separate Day and Evening) as well as one VbP profile for the/each ("an", ideally)sub period (30 min)/"bar". Thanks again...sorry for confusion. |

When you set a TPO Profile to display letters in their own column, there will not be a separate profile for each subperiod. Only when using the "Split Profile Here" command. Eventually we will be adding the capability to add an independent Volume by Price study to a TPO Profile Chart which can be based upon the underlying data independent from the TPO Profile period length.

Has this feature been implemented? I'm looking to have an addt'l Volume by Price bar for the current period next to a TPO chart.

Yes. Refer to: Volume By Price Study: 30 Minute Volume Profile at End of TPO Profile Chart Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.

Does anyone know if I can add a volume profile for the current day TPO only and not all days. I already have a seperate Volume Profile for last 30 min period aligned to far right so I cant do it that way.

The only way to do it is to have 2 profiles on the right edge that are both independent from the TPOs.

Hello, I am using 30m TPO chart with volume profile for each TPO profile. I tried the settings mentioned above for me to see the actual volume on the last subperiod but the volume profile for the last subperiod doesnt start at the same time the new subperiod starts. Can you advice please? Thank you very much in advance

How are you setting up the Volume by Price study for this sub-period? What "Volume Graph Period Type" are you using?

Thank you for the quick reply. "Volume graph period Type" is set to "One Period at End of Fixed Time Length". I tried "One Period From Most Recent Period Start To End" but it didnt help

A "Volume Graph Period Type" of "One Period at End of Fixed Time Length" is going to give you a "rolling" profile for the defined time period. So for a 30 minute period, you would get a profile that covers the last 30 minutes, but this will depend on the underlying bars - for a typical TPO with a 30 minute sub-period, the underlying bars are 1 minute, so you will get the last 30 minutes plus the current bar, meaning 30 minutes plus (up to) 59 seconds. To get a Volume Profile for the most recent 30 minute period, you need to use a "Volume Graph Period Type" of "One Period From Most Recent Period Start to End" and set the Time Period Type and Length to 30 minutes.
