Volume POC line to extend right all the way across the screen

Would it be possible to add a line of code to have this volume profile study POC line extend to the right for however many days you have it set for? I want the POC line to extend right all the way across the screen.

You cannot extend a plot of the poc, for prior periods, without having each of those poc's having a separate plot statement.

So, I have extended the plot of the pocs for a "DAY" only setting in a separate script that will plot today and 10 previous period's pocs.

The image shows the standard TOS Volume Profile study set to "DAY" showing on the chart along with the additional study to do the exxpended plots. Optional bubbles were added to display the basis for the extended POC lines.

#VPOC
#The study that zzz posted displays the last 5 VPOC and provides an excellent visual as to where an instrument trades relative to the cluster of VPOCs during the past several sessions. Franz uses this cluster of VPOCs to determine the probable direction of the market.

#If price action is trading very close to the cluster of VPOCs, this means that the market is in balance. Should the market trade above this cluster of VPOCs and continue to move higher from there, we may consider a buy at the bottom of the VAL (value area low). Conversely, if the market trades below the cluster of VPOCs, then we’ll be looking for a short entry.

#This is essentially a play on support and resistance. VPOC can be viewed as clusters of support (floor) or resistance (ceiling) zones. If one floor breaks, then it is likely going to trade to the next floor, etc.

#Franz's setup is detailed here http://tos.mx/mVEhr9# For more background information on the subject, read the CME Market Profile Handbook
