Volume Profile displays a histogram of the transaction volume at each price level over a certain time period.
# Open the '''Format SymbolInstruments''' window.<br><span>{{FormatSymbol}}</span>
# Select the '''Volume Profile''' tab.
# Select the '''Data Type''' drop-down box to choose whether the volume for each bar will be plotted on the open, high, low, close, or mid price of the bar. All of the volume for the bar will be aggregated and plotted on the chosen price.
#* Select '''Points''' to base the bins of volume profile on the specified number of ticks, or
#* Select '''Units''' to base the bins of volume profile on the specified number of ticks in price format. For example, if 1 tick equals 0.25, then basing the bins on 1 point is the same as basing the bins on 0.25 units.
