Volume Profile Indicator & POCs For ThinkOrSwim

Yes, this controls the number of profiles to be displayed, currently at input profiles = 1000;, set it to input profiles = 1;
It's a nice a job of programming. I'm curious why we didn't just adjust the opacity level on the default study to zero to see only the VAL's & POC.
 
Hello Everyone ,

I was able to get the POC point of Control Price to populate in the wtachlist,. however, how can I assign it a backlgorund color if over the POC Value, and a color if Under the POC Value. I am new to this.

def poc = reference VolumeProfile("time per profile" = "MONTH", "on expansion" = no, opacity = 0, "show value area" = No, multiplier = 1.0, "price per row height mode" = "TICKSIZE");
AddLabel(1, poc, Color.WHITE);

Try this
Code:
def poc = reference VolumeProfile("time per profile" = "MONTH", "on expansion" = no, opacity = 0, "show value area" = No, multiplier = 1.0, "price per row height mode" = "TICKSIZE");
AddLabel(1, poc, Color.WHITE);

Hello, I was just wondering if there would be any way to have the VolumeProfile show the ratio between buy & sell vol at each prices. Basically want to combine these two scripts:

So the VolumeProfile shows the volume at different prices normally, but it shows it as 1 solid color. I would like to see if it's possible to have it show the ratio of buy and sell volume, similar to how the VolumeRatio indicator does it.

I took a screenshot of the VolumeProfile indicator and drew how it would ideally look:

1VkOg4B.png


Notice the partially red and partially green bars, that would be how the ratio of volume at that price would be displayed. So if there's 50% sell volume and 50% buy volume at a price of lets say 467 on SPY, then that bar at 467 would be half red half green.

I have been looking for this code everywhere! Thanks!
Is there a way to change how the price is viewed? Right now it shows like this...89.0013, or 335.2702. Is there any way to round it into a 2 decimal price?

how can i make the value area clear instead of grey. Truthfully i just want to see the red and green lines
 
how can i make the value area clear instead of grey. Truthfully i just want to see the red and green lines
Try setting input opacity to zero (0) and comment out the following code as shown
Ruby:
#AddCloud (cloudhigh, cloudlow, GlobalColor("Value Area Cloud"));
 
Hello, I was just wondering if there would be any way to have the VolumeProfile show the ratio between buy & sell vol at each prices. Basically want to combine these two scripts:

VolumeProfile
Code:
#
# TD Ameritrade IP Company, Inc. (c) 2010-2021
#


input pricePerRowHeightMode = {default AUTOMATIC, TICKSIZE, CUSTOM};
input customRowHeight = 1.0;
input timePerProfile = {default CHART, MINUTE, HOUR, DAY, WEEK, MONTH, "OPT EXP", BAR};
input multiplier = 1;
input onExpansion = yes;
input profiles = 1000;
input showPointOfControl = yes;
input showValueArea = yes;
input valueAreaPercent = 70;
input opacity = 50;


def period;
def yyyymmdd = getYyyyMmDd();
def seconds = secondsFromTime(0);
def month = getYear() * 12 + getMonth();
def day_number = daysFromDate(first(yyyymmdd)) + getDayOfWeek(first(yyyymmdd));
def dom = getDayOfMonth(yyyymmdd);
def dow = getDayOfWeek(yyyymmdd - dom + 1);
def expthismonth = (if dow > 5 then 27 else 20) - dow;
def exp_opt = month + (dom > expthismonth);
switch (timePerProfile) {
case CHART:
    period = 0;
case MINUTE:
    period = floor(seconds / 60 + day_number * 24 * 60);
case HOUR:
    period = floor(seconds / 3600 + day_number * 24);
case DAY:
    period = countTradingDays(min(first(yyyymmdd), yyyymmdd), yyyymmdd) - 1;
case WEEK:
    period = floor(day_number / 7);
case MONTH:
    period = floor(month - first(month));
case "OPT EXP":
    period = exp_opt - first(exp_opt);
case BAR:
    period = barNumber() - 1;
}


def count = CompoundValue(1, if period != period[1] then (count[1] + period - period[1]) % multiplier else count[1], 0);
def cond = count < count[1] + period - period[1];
def height;
switch (pricePerRowHeightMode) {
case AUTOMATIC:
    height = PricePerRow.AUTOMATIC;
case TICKSIZE:
    height = PricePerRow.TICKSIZE;
case CUSTOM:
    height = customRowHeight;
}


profile vol = volumeProfile("startNewProfile" = cond, "onExpansion" = onExpansion, "numberOfProfiles" = profiles, "pricePerRow" = height, "value area percent" = valueAreaPercent);
def con = compoundValue(1, onExpansion, no);

def lVA = if IsNaN(vol.getLowestValueArea()) and con then lVA[1] else vol.getLowestValueArea();


def hProfile = if IsNaN(vol.getHighest()) and con then hProfile[1] else vol.getHighest();
def lProfile = if IsNaN(vol.getLowest()) and con then lProfile[1] else vol.getLowest();
def plotsDomain = IsNaN(close) == onExpansion;


plot POC = if plotsDomain then pc else Double.NaN;
plot ProfileHigh = if plotsDomain then hProfile else Double.NaN;
plot ProfileLow = if plotsDomain then lProfile else Double.NaN;
plot VAHigh = if plotsDomain then hVA else Double.NaN;
plot VALow = if plotsDomain then lVA else Double.NaN;


DefineGlobalColor("Profile", GetColor(1));
DefineGlobalColor("Point Of Control", GetColor(5));
DefineGlobalColor("Value Area", GetColor(8));


vol.show(globalColor("Profile"), if showPointOfControl then globalColor("Point Of Control") else color.current, if showValueArea then globalColor("Value Area") else color.current, opacity);
POC.SetDefaultColor(globalColor("Point Of Control"));
POC.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);

See if this might help. I just created it and am trying to improve it and understand how TOS uses the dataprofile data. https://usethinkscript.com/threads/buying-vs-selling-power-indicator-for-thinkorswim.2917/post-83201
