TOS Volume Profile to show # of contracts (blue bar)

[z32]

Been trying to come up w/ a way to modify TOS"s volume profile script to show the # of contracts for each bar (the blue ones on the right) but no luck. Is there anyone here who can help create a script using the existing TOS Volume Profile to show a number on each blue bar representing the # of contracts traded (that determines the thickness / width of the bar)

1. This is a copy of the TOS Volumeprofile with some adjusttments to the coloring at lines 72-77 in the script , set default to DAY and the opacity to 20.

DefineGlobalColor("Profile", color.white);
DefineGlobalColor("Point Of Control", GetColor(5));
DefineGlobalColor("Value Area", color.magenta);

vol.show(globalColor("Profile"), if showPointOfControl then globalColor("Point Of Control") else color.current, if showValueArea then globalColor("Value Area") else color.current, opacity, "volume color" = Color.white);
POC.SetDefaultColor(globalColor("Point Of Control"));

2. The image (used 1d 1m instead of 1d TODAY) shows the volume in the white numbers on the left side. You need to expand the area to see all of the numbers. In manually adding these, I found that these seem to match the volume for the day.
3. We have very few things that we can do through scripting. Perhaps this might help you.

Great tool thanks!

Thank you @SleepyZ . I got the coloring working but I can't seem to get the volume / contract size showing for each bar (switched to different time frame 'today 1m / 5m / 15m / 30m' or '1 day 1/5/30m' or 'daily'. Can you assist please. The # would show up for stocks though.. but when I tried w/ futures, the # won't show.

General questions here. I use the TOS Volume Profile. I am always finding it hard to read the contract quantities on the left axis of the indicator. I know there is now way to change setting so that thenumbers are more visible. It would be great to be able to change the color and contrast and also if the contracts that are moving could display a different color. Does anyone know if a solution is out there for that?

This a similar question and my reply https://usethinkscript.com/threads/...-show-of-contracts-blue-bar.18276/post-140104

@SleepyZ, thank you for the script, been testing it last few trading session but I am having trouble showing the #s (volume / contracts traded) for each histogram ... I am not getting any numbers showing up for any symbols / futures and I toggle to different time frame (1m/today;1m/1day;5m/today;5m/1day;15m / 30m etc). I also tried enlarge the chart size and no # showing neither. I think I am doing something wrong just not sure what....

Using the code below, make sure you have enough bars as shown in chart settings for the right chart expansion. Zoom out the chart to see even more values
