vZone (Volumes Based Support/Resistance) For ThinkOrSwim

This may be a naive question, but in regard to the "Vol" plot on the lower study the OP posted on page 1, what information is the dark red and dark green portions of each candle providing and telling? In the plot settings under "Vol", the default red corresponds with "down" and green corresponds with "up". Just trying to figure out what those parts of each candle represents.

In the plot settings under "Vol", the default red corresponds with "down" and green corresponds with "up". Just trying to figure out what those parts of each candle represents.

The syntax states:
Vol.AssignValueColor(if close > close[1] then Vol.color("Up") else if close < close[1] then Vol.color("Down") else GetColor(1));

This is saying:
dark green == close is greater than prior close
dark red == close is less than prior close
 
I don’t get the point of the “Future” label. Why is it there? I’m thinking of #-ing it out.

Also, any chance of making this MTF? I’d like to have the 5 or 15 min readings show on a 1 or 2 minute chart.

I came across this indicator a few days ago and was excited to see it. I like what it's trying to do. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work anymore. Instead of highlighting the highest volume bar for the time period, it just places a high/low box for the beginning of each period and ignores volume.

Is this thing broken and no longer working? Is anyone else having this problem? It would be great if I could get it to work.

Here are a few examples. The levels always form at 9:30am, 11:00am, and 2:00pm EST regardless of volume.
