is there any way to flip Volume profile coming from right to left like some of the other platforms?
Thanks

Hi, Is there any custom study/code available in TOS to mimic the Volume Profile indicator in Trading view? I know there is VolumeProfile Indicator in TOS but it is plotting from left to right. I am looking for one which is plotting right to left on right axis. Thanks in advance.
Here is the MonkeyBars indicator in the image;s chart at the top and the Standard Volumeprofile in the chart bekiw,

see code below, it is not prompting any syntax error however it seems to not be reading the oversold 30/overbought70 area, so its only changing candles red and green,,, any ssiatnce would eb greatly appreciated, i had retracted previous message thinking i had figured it out




declare upper;

input length = 14;
input over_Bought = 70;
input over_Sold = 30;
input price = close;
input averageType = AverageType.WILDERS;
input showBreakoutSignals = no;


def NetChgAvg = MovingAverage(averageType, price - price[1], length);
def TotChgAvg = MovingAverage(averageType, AbsValue(price - price[1]), length);
def ChgRatio = if TotChgAvg != 0 then NetChgAvg / TotChgAvg else 0;

def RSI = 50 * (ChgRatio + 1);
def OverSold = 70;
def OverBought = 30;

def UP = RSI > 50;
def DN = RSI < 50;
def UpCalc = UP - DN;

AssignPriceColor (if UP then Color.GREEN else if DN then Color.RED else if OverBought then Color.CYAN else if OverSold then Color.YELLOW
else Color.CURRENT
);
 
Here are the modifications to the MonkeyBar Indicator that were suggested above by @JT_479. The image shows the normal volumeprofile script on the left and the modified MonkeyBars on the right expansion.
Hi @SleepyZ

Nice study! Have two questions,

1. Is there anyway to hide the purple number bars to the right of the profile or at least make them less noticeable?
2. I would like to plot a horizontal line for the VAH and VAL like shown in the picture below and i want them to show only on the current day starting from 4AM going forward when used on expansion. Can this be done either on this monkeybar style VP or the regular TOS VP?

Anyone can help me adding the horizontal lines for the VAH & VAL? Thanks in advance

Modified the above monkeybars script that displayed the volumeprofile in the expansion pointing to the left, to include a volumeprofile profile image on the chart for valuearea, poc, vah and val.
