Its finally coming together, I have been following this guy for years.
Prior post: https://usethinkscript.com/threads/...s-futures-entry-signals-for-thinkorswim.2365/

If you want to learn vol profile check this guy out, he is the best I have seen.
Below I use his vol profile setup with prior days sup/res lines along with bookmap to watch foot print and heatmap. I also have tickstrike to alert on big volume moves.

Can you share a link for your chart set-up? Big fan of volume profile and working on learning Bookmap. Thanks in advance!

Nice man, I got mine to about 1 bar off of his entries/exits. Although it was way dif than what he would suggest.
 
Like most of you I have followed Verniman's posts. While most posts are now deleted while he worked on his approach. I took notes of what he said. Regardless of what he states. Past posts (now deleted) indicated Tick, BSP, Demand Index, Volume, SPX Cash Internals, SPX Ratio(s), and levels are all mentioned. For example, BSP has been described as "an original TOS code that is locked", SPX Cash Internals/ratio(s), Volume, Demand Index. Additionally, if you remember his 3 ratios on the right chart. It was the middle number that he used as an example of BSP..... So happy hunting!
Time permitting and with STB's code. I have been playing with certain parameters. For me, RSI was the closest that I could get to his actual trades. Some of his earlier posts had STO at the bottom so that is a real possibility as well. Lately this setup has been as accurate.
I hope this helps in some capacity.

Thank you to @MHCain for this contribution
The theory behind this strategy is well-thought-out.

HOWEVER, this code uses HighestAll() functions
HXExM8a.png

https://tlc.thinkorswim.com/center/reference/thinkScript/Functions/Tech-Analysis/HighestAll

HighestAll() calculations are arbitrarily based on how many bars are on your CHART.
So everyone's results will be different depending on how many days, a member specifies in the aggregation settings.

The bigger issue when writing code with HighestAll() functions is that Schwab no longer updates these calculations in real-time.
This limits the applicability of this script as currently coded.
MerryDay said:
HighestAll() and all the other Range "All" functions are resource-intensive as they read all the bars on a chart.
https://tlc.thinkorswim.com/center/reference/thinkScript/Functions/Tech-Analysis/HighestAll
ToS is currently throttling their use. They do not update in real time, which will cause your calculations and signals to lag.

Thank you for sharing. As mentioned with @MerryDay, we should fix the HighestAll and LowestAll there. Is the intention the find the highest and lowest between the specified time duration?

Also, I'm seeing AM trades in the PM session. Is this intentional?

What time frame is this meant to be used on?

Thank you for sharing. As mentioned with @MerryDay, we should fix the HighestAll and LowestAll there. Is the intention the find the highest and lowest between the specified time duration?

Also, I'm seeing AM trades in the PM session. Is this intentional?

HighestAll - Sorry I copy, paste, and assemble all of my codes. You would have to ask an “actual” coder.

PM Trades - I only glanced at the code. I believe the verbiage wasn’t changed when I copied it. So a verbiage change should fox it.

Hope these help.

3 minute….. He post his trades on 3min. But he has often talked about “higher” timeframes and tick charts from 500t-1600t. So happy hunting.

Sorry, could not find any "lines drawn on volume profile" in the link that you provided.

In the below link, you will find dozens of customizations to the ToS Volume Profile.
