Description

I think this is a very valuable addition to Volume profile, and a good step forward towards covering the gap between MC and other software like Investor RT.
The ability to see volume profile with a mouse selection of the screen would be fantastic.
Let's say you have on your screen a weeks' worth of data, and you want to see the volume profile for the last 3 days. You may select the three days with your mouse, and then, a "Composite" Volume Profile will show up for the 3 days.
Great feature ! You'll buy in many Investor RT fans which consider Investor RT a little too expensive or have an aversion for the "monthly payment" type of service.
More than that, you'll convert existing Investor RT users - as they have to pay monthly for Investor RT. They'll just switch and pay once for Multicharts.

Steps to reproduce this issue

IMO, the most critical volume profile feature that MC is the ability to create a voluem profile of a range or balance area to find the high volume node and POC, which is one of the most important S/R levels. These balance areas do not neccesarilly cover a set number of days, and so they need to be selected with a selection box.
This is a feature that many of the top charting programs focused on volume profile allow you to do, (see http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_Tools.html#DrawVolumeProfile)) and it is extremely frustrating to not be able to do this in MC.

This is really a must have feature for MC!

Look at Futurestrader71 (well known Volume Profile trader using InvestorRT) in this video.

Being able to create several microcomposites and a larger composite at the same time, using the same time series, would attract InvestorRT users!
Look how he users VP in the video!

We have had a large demand for being able to add the Volume Profile to a chart on the fly and receiving the plot super-fast. It is now possible with our Volume Profile Drawing tool!
