Volume Profile Indicator & POCs For ThinkOrSwim

[Lulu22]

Here is something I did awhile ago that may help. It isn't the most elegant code, but hopefully does what you are requesting.

In order for the script to work 100%, the horizontal lines need to disappear as soon as the price touches the POC level the following day. I drew arrows on the 5m chart to illustrate when the price touches the same level from the previous trading day.

Thank you

Thanks for the feedback.

I have made the minor change to plot the poc (magenta) of each day instead of the prior day. The black line is then an extension of the prior day and will end it's plot when crossed, hopefully now, by either the high or low (the other fix) of a bar. Previously it was the close.

[woodabil]

Is there a the code for "How to Find Potential Supply and Demand Zones using the Volume Profile Indicator" demonstrated by @Aliikhatami ?

 

[MerryDay]

@woodabil Are you referring to this video?

This is a tutorial for using the TOS volume profile
https://tlc.thinkorswim.com/center/reference/Tech-Indicators/studies-library/V-Z/VolumeProfile

Click on the studies tab and type in volume profile

 

[SJP07]

Is there a way to have the volume profile indicator on TOS to show up and down volume like it does on Trading view? [Link below].
Trading view: Volume Profile

Sorry but the TOS version cannot be coded by us to show volume like on Trading View link, both with coloring or direction of the indicator.

I added TPOs to my chart but its not aligned to 30 and 00 minutes marks. thank you!!!

Here is a copy of the TOS TPO study with a "30MIN" timeframe added that seems to align with your request. You can also add other timeframes to the script in a similar fashion.

Thanks for the feedback.

I have made the minor change to plot the poc (magenta) of each day instead of the prior day. The black line is then an extension of the prior day and will end it's plot when crossed, hopefully now, by either the high or low (the other fix) of a bar. Previously it was the close.

Hey @SleepyZ How can I scan for stocks that have not touched the VPOC extension on a 5m time frame?

Thank you,

Sorry, but the script is too complex to run in the scanner. I tried to simplify it and it still would do enough days lookback to be of any value.

Sorry, but the script is too complex to run in the scanner. I tried to simplify it and it still would do enough days lookback to be of any value.

Perhaps this ia a way around some of it. Again a brute force method, but it seems to work.

On a 30d 5m chart, try the 3 studies that are referenced as ANY in the scanner, each with 10 days of naked poc searches. This might be a little more accurate than the script I gave you as I separated the high cross and low cross as constraints, whereas the other was more of an if/then to try emulate that.

Here are the 3 scripts defined as newstudy2118, newstudy2119 and newstudy220. Either eference these in the scanner as shown or if you rename the studies, use those study names.

Hope it works for you!

@woodabil Are you referring to this video?

This is a tutorial for using the TOS volume profile
https://tlc.thinkorswim.com/center/reference/Tech-Indicators/studies-library/V-Z/VolumeProfile

Click on the studies tab and type in volume profile
View attachment 988

yes - very good info, thanks!!

 

[anasmatar]

Hope someone from the coding gurus can help with this .. I'm eager to have a volume profile such as this:

Is there a way to have TOS show only the POC rather than all the volume bars on the side of the chart. I tried this: but still shows them, making my chart too crowded.

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 pc = if IsNaN(vol.getPointOfControl()) and con then pc[1] else vol.getPointOfControl();

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);
#VAHigh.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);

#ProfileHigh.SetDefaultColor(GetColor(3));

#ProfileHigh.hide();
#ProfileLow.hide();

I basically just want to see the Value Area High, the Value Area Low, and the Point of Control but not all the volume bars of the profile.

 

[Guille]

I don't like how the VP takes a big chunk of space on the right side of the chart or how otherwise would be right in the middle of the chart if not on expansion.

[Guille]

It works great. Thank you! Is there a way to show only the current day's and hide the previous days' lines?

Yes, this controls the number of profiles to be displayed, currently at input profiles = 1000;, set it to input profiles = 1;
