#** '''Down OC'''. Shows price movement within volume profile at its end as red bar if the openning price of the profile is higher than its closing price. Default color is red, it can be changed to any other color. Default size can be decreased or increased. Default style is Invisible, it can be changed to Volume Shading.
#** '''POC'''. Shows the price level with largest amount of traded volume. Default color is pale pink, it can be changed to any other color. Default size is 10, it can be decreased or increased up to 100. Default style is Invisible, it can be changed to Volume Shading, HollowGram or Invisible.
#** '''Value Area'''.It is the area (specified in %) of most traded volume of the profile (100%).<div style="background-color: #E5F6FF;">'''Example 1''': Assume there are 5 price levels in volume profile. Total volume of level 1 is 400; total volume of level 2 is 600; total volume of level 3 is 1000; total volume of level 4 is 500; total volume of level 5 is 300. The total volume of the whole volume profile is 2800. Default Value are is 70%; 70% of 2800 = 1960. It always starts with POC, that is the level 3 with 1000 total volume. 1960 - 1000 (POC) = 960. Check closest levels: 2 and 4; each of these levels total volume is less than 960. Total volume of level 2 is higher then total volume of level 4. 960 - 600 (level 2) = 360. Check closest levels: 1 and 4; only level 1 total volume (400) is enough to cover 360.</div><div style="background-color: #E5F6FF;">'''Example 2''': Assume there are 5 price levels in volume profile. Total volume of level 1 is 200; total volume of level 2 is 600; total volume of level 3 is 1000; total volume of level 4 is 200; total volume of level 5 is 300. The total volume of the whole volume profile is 2300. Default Value are is 70%; 70% of 2300 = 1610. It always starts with POC, that is the level 3 with 1000 total volume. 1610 - 1000 (POC) = 610. Check closest levels: 2 and 4; each of these levels total volume is less than 610. Total volume of level 2 is higher then total volume of level 4. 610 - 600 (level 2) = 10. Check closest levels: 1 and 4; each of these levels total volume is more than 10. Both levels are identical (200 and 200 total volume), in this case the rest 10 volume goes to the level then is lower, in this example it is the level 4.</div>
