I have an indicator that shows the volume profile for each day, but I would like to access the previous day's VPOC, VAL, and VAH specifically so I can perform calculations to compare them to the current day. Could anyone help me figure out how to do this? Is it possible to specify a time period when using GetHighestValueArea() and GetPointOfControl()? Or would it require something more complicated?
This is the script I use for the daily volume profiles. I tried to see if I could modify the code to store the value of a specific day, but it's beyond my skill level.
