Volume Profile Indicator & POCs For ThinkOrSwim

I want to be able to highlight x amount of candles on my intraday chart and see the volume profile for the highlighted portion only. How can I do this?

Any suggestions of a good free charting platform that will allow me to do this?

tradingview.com will allow you, they have what's called "visible range" of the volume profile however you have to be at least a pro member which is $14.95 USD a month and keep in mind you need to pay for data as well on top of that if you want the data to be accurate.

Hi @Shinthus, here is another cog indicator https://usethinkscript.com/threads/center-of-gravity-cog-indicator-for-thinkorswim.138/ I think this might be the cog indicator you're looking for if you were in bluesgirl's chatroom. (I'm in the same room :) That's similar to what she uses. From what I understand with the cog indicator is you want to play the edges and also look at the curves of the waves. So if the waves are starting to curl up price may have found a bottom and start to move up. Maybe similar to boillinger bands.

As for volume profile here is a picture of the study I use on TOS. It looks at the volume profile for every individual day, so the levels are pretty much the same across all time frames. I can post the settings I have if you're interested :)

I like to mark off the Value area Highs/Lows (the yellow lines) and the point of control (red line). I use these lines as support/resistance and targets for the next day.

On the other hand, I also need something where I can see 1 volume profile for last 20 days. I select 20 days in ToS and it shows me 20 different ones. I would like it to be one big volume profile. It seems to work fine for 1 year chart.
 
I'm definitely warming up to the "Last 10 POC" indicator by Mobius but I'm hoping to get some (possibly highly) technical guidance.

On his indicator, the POC's seem to extend indefinitely to the left.

The two things I'm seeking are:
1. how can I get, let's say, the POC from 5 days ago to begin at the end of the RTH session 5 days ago (but not go on further to the left).?
2. and, if that's possible, how can I get the bubble to display also at the origin point of the POC extension? (It already displays on the Right Edge.)

For anyone who wants to take a stab at this, I've included 2 sets of code below. First is Mobius's original script. Next is a script created by someone else that plots previous day highs/lows, current day highs/lows, current day open, yesterday close, etc. .... and includes bubbles for each. Its code displays a line from when it began AND allows for both having bubbles at the origin point AND on the Right Edge. Maybe it could help to figure out how to do #1 and #2 above.

Sincere thanks to anyone who considers looking into this!!

2. and, if that's possible, how can I get the bubble to display also at the origin point of the POC extension? (It already displays on the Right Edge.)

See if this is what you wanted:

Code: 
# Points Of Control Support / Resistance Areas
# Mobius
# V01.03.08.2016
# Locates last 10 Points of Control based on RTH only

#
# Modified version 1 by Sleepz - Usethinkscript request: The two things I'm seeking are:
# 1. how can I get, let's say, the POC from 5 days ago to begin at the end of the RTH session 5 days ago (but not go on further to the left).?
# 2. and, if that's possible, how can I get the bubble to display also at the origin point of the POC extension? (It already displays on the Right Edge.)
# Added an option to extend the POC's based upon the POC for each day during RTH based upon ticksize(), rounded to 2 digits rather than Mobius's smoothed approach
# Added a #VolumeProfile_RTH_ext script that I did quite awhile ago to help test the modified script. One can display it or not at the 'input showVOLProfile_RTH_ext'. It also can be removed after testing if not wanted.

Nope. That just displays 3 lines on each day. One being VPOC, and not sure what other 2 are.. but definitely doesn't look like a volume profile plot

The 'other 2' lines are Value Area High and Value Area Low. Those along with the VPOC you correctly identified are the prior day's levels displayed on the next day's chart.

I'm looking for a volume PROFILE of the previous day to be plotted on the current day's chart. Don't really care for the VAH/VAL/VPOC.
 
Hey all,
I've been messing with the "RTHvsOvernight Profile by JoeBone87 (as below). Ive been trying to get the POC to plot a continuous vertical line for the selected range similar to the Mobius "Points Of Control Support / Resistance Areas" (Last 10 POC) but i can't firure out how to reference the existing POC without making it plot a 2nd profile. TOS profiles ****.
I have a 2nd, lesser dilemma. I'd like to do the same thing with the VAL/VAH lines until they are invalidated in the same way one would traditionally handle a VPOC.
Anyway. Thanks in advance.

You people really want this? Just a moving average that can be duplicated by using the already existing SMA or EMA in ToS. Here is the POC avg compared to 100 length SMA and EMA.

I doubt it is worth the trouble. If you have a POC that is plotted each day just add something like this :

Code: 
input length =20;
plot smapoc =  simpleMovingAvg (poc, length);

Adjust length to fit what you want.

Hello @horserider - when I load the study to TOS -it gives me the following errors:

Expected double at 2:16
No such variable: poc at 2:33
Expected double at 2:16
No such variable: poc at 2:33

Can you please work on it when you have a chance

That is only an add-on, not the entire script... Use one of the scripts at the beginning of the topic...
 
@Ninja Bull Is it possible you did not follow @horserider's instructions? She said:
XqS3pTh.png

Did you start w/ your POC study and ADD the snippet of code to it. Perhaps you didn't add it to the end of the study?
It is not possible to offer additional help w/o seeing the whole script that you created and include screenshots of the errors (how to upload an image)

I am interested to learn how the change in Point of Control of volume profile affects the price change. Is there a way we can plot the Point of Control history as a graph in thinkorswim?
