Found this great script by @SleepyZ , but looking to see if it can be adjusted slightly. The script plots the prior days Volume Profile (POC, VAH, and VAL) on the current day. I am using this on a 5M chart.
Currently, the script also plots the current days Volume Profile (POC, VAH, and VAL) as it is developing in the right expansion area during regular trading hours. I am wondering if it possible to adjust this script so that it does not show the current days developing Volume Profile in the right expansion area until the end of the trading day. So once it is 4 PM, only then would it display the current days Volume Profile plotted in the right expansion area. I wasn't sure how complex of a request this was, but figured it was worth asking. Thanks in advance.
