# Select one of the available '''Profiles''':
#* '''Tick Count'''. If this profile is selected, volume provided by the data source is not taken into account. Each tick volume equals to 1. Each line demonstrates the number of ticks traded on a specific price level colored in blue (by default). The following components are available for this volume profile style:
#** If the current tick price is the same as the previous tick price, the volume is recorded either to BUY or to SELL volume depending on what was the last recorded volume.<br><div style="background-color: #E5F6FF;">'''Example''': If a new tick comes with higher than previous price and volume is recorded as BUY volume, and then another tick comes with the same as previous price, the volume is recorded also to BUY volume.</div>
#** If a tick is first one in the series, its volume goes to BUY volume.
#* '''Ask Traded vs Bid Traded''' method:
#** If the current tick price is higher or equals current ASK tick price, the volume of the current tick goes to BUY volume.
#** If the current tick price is lower or equals current BID tick price, the volume of the current tick goes to SELL volume.
#** If the current tick price is between ASK and BID prices, than the volume is recorded either to BUY or to SELL volume depending on what was the last recorded volume.<br><div style="background-color: #E5F6FF;">'''Example''': If a new tick comes with a price higher or equals current ASK tick price and its volume is recorded as BUY volume, and then another tick comes with a price that is between ASK and BID prices, the volume is recorded also to BUY volume.</div>

Volume profile is a tool that can be enabled or disabled for a particular data series. 1 data series can have only 1 Volume Profile displayed, however it is possible to see multiple different Volume Profiles for the same instrument on 1 chart:
# [[Volume Profile#Using Volume profile|Create a chart with Volume Profile]],
All the rest settings should be 100% identical to the original data series.
Since MultiCharts 8.7 beta 1 Volume Profile can be plotted on the chart with a single click on the '''Volume Profile Switch''' [[File:VPSwitch.png]]button located in the status line.
