Volume Profile in Indicator and Market Scanner

Postby avme » 09 Jan 2015

Hi all,

I learnt that volume profile (VP) is for plotting chart only. There is no power language keyword for VP. I am thinking if it is possible to construct Point of Control (POC) and Value Area (VA) by using dynamic array. The array is 2 dimensional with 3 columns: Price, Ask Vol and Bid Vol. Every tick it compares the price and fills in the volume. If price does not exist in array, it starts a new row. The code retunrs the largest volume as the POC. VA is a bit tricky to construct as it needs to compare both sides of POC.

I just have the idea and I am very green in constructing array. So am I on the right track? If dynamic array is not feasible, what is the workaround?

Any comments and suggestions are welcome.

Thanks
Jimmy

Try search for TPO in this forum. You can borrow some of the codes for your project.

I found little useful from "TPO" as discussions fall on .Net mostly.
But thank you for your suggestion, TJ.

Hello,

Please note that the data used for calculation of values when you use Volume Profile tool, Volume Delta or Cumulative delta chart types is not availble for EasyLanguage/PowerLanguage codes.

Yes, only for .NET.

Would the VP indicator be added in the next Non-.net version? I know I can plot it in charts. But I want to use it in indicator as well.

We don't plan to add access to such data from EL code for regular MC.
