Limitations Of The Volume Profile For ThinkOrSwim

Hey guys,

I’ve been using the volume profile on TradingView but they make you upgrade to use it and I don’t want to pay anymore. I like trading off of Thinkorswim overall though. I know ToS has the volume profile as well but the visual of it just irritates me.

Not sure if other people are also irritated by it or I’m just picky but wondering if someone can help me make some changes.

I want the volume profile to be facing the candles like presented in the first photo. And I want the bars to be separated & have some space between them just like how the first picture has the white space in between them. TOS just looks like a giant blob. & I also don’t like how it’s very close to the candles but not sure if it’s just because the way it is facing.

If someone can help that would be amazing, if not then oh well, thanks in advance!!

TOS has not provided much that we can do with the profile other than what is available and with the controls that are built-in. There you can basically change the colors, opacity and size of the rows, but with no option to add spacing between the rows.

Another profile, Monkeybars, has a volumeprofile within it that plots the orientation as you wanted, but it has limitations. Here is a link that to it that may help: https://usethinkscript.com/threads/right-justified-volume-price.15831/post-126901 ,
