Does anyone know how to scan for stocks in relation to the current project Volume profile. For ex, stocks within 5% of VAH-yearly or stocks consolidating between VAL and POC.

I have created a scan for finding specific Volume Profile distribution shapes based on the location of the Point of Control. >.65 for P shape profiles and <.35 for b shaped profiles

I am trying to make a scan where the POC is in the middle of the distribution (middle of value area), this would identify B and D shaped profiles but i cannot fix this error, would really appreciate some help.

here is the code with the error

This has a begin timeframe, is it possible to add an end time to this?

Here is an example to get the scan to work.

After making the correction to plot scan, save the study. I named it newstudy3360. In the scan study editor, enter newstudy3360().scan. The scan will produce results. I did not test the results.

No, it is not possible. POCs are driven by volume. Forex has no volume.
No volume, no POC.

Hi @SleepyZ,
I have been using this VPOC script that you created in Jan 2023. I tried to find where you posted this script but was unable to. It makes a line at the previous two days vpocs. I am interested in converting the script to give one line for the 30 day vpoc and another for the 90 day vpoc. I made a few small changes to the script by adding a V1daysback. The 30 day vpoc line seems to work, but the 90 day vpoc line is simply a 90 day extension of the 30 day vpoc line. Could you please make the code adjustment so that I get a seperate 90 day line?

The code works with enough days timeframe displayed to separately do both 30 and 90 lookbacks for Intraday charts.
However, for Daily Charts, an adjustment for the def cond from rth != rth[1], which Day bars do not have, to ymd != ymd[1] was necessary.

The following switch for input Chart_Mode should fix that problem.
Code: 
####### Chart Mode
input Chart_Mode = {default Intraday, Day};
def cond;
switch (Chart_Mode) {
case Intraday:
    cond = rth != rth[1];
case Day:
    cond = thisDay != thisDay[1];

Hi Sleepyz,
I'm looking at SPY's Vpoc1 line today, 1/5/24, at 450.81. It is set to 30 vdaysback on Day chart mode. I thought this would give me the monthly vpoc but I just saw that someone who puts out good info state that the monthly vpoc is 472. Can you please let me know if this script gives the monthly vpoc and setting v1poc1to 90 gives the correct quarterly vpoc? The 90 day v1poc1 is currently at 441.62. Thanks

I'm wondering if Sleepyz's vpoc script above can be edited to gather the vpocs of 29, 22, 15, 8, and 1day ago and average them to get an approximate monthly vpoc, as long as today isn't a Sunday or a Monday.

Thanks for updating the script. I just want to see a line for the average vpoc and tried to comment out the others and change plot to def so they wouldn't show, but now the average vpoc line appears as a dash today only on the daily chart and doesn't extend to the right. The bubble and label do show. Thanks for your help.
