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);

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?

Yes
Ruby: 
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");

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

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
