This is an attempt to get something more or less similar to the volume profile for free.

The code is generated using a template. To change the settings, you may need to regenerate the code. The code has a link to the repository with the template.

Release Notes
  • Fix width with disabled history/last profiles

Release Notes
Fix "screenshot"
Release Notes
Replace green color by teal
Release Notes
Add volume point of control (VPoC) as a line
Release Notes
  • Use nz() instead of own nan_to_float()
  • Fix history block offset
Release Notes
Volume clusters (those called historical blocks) have been moved to a separate study, see "Poor man's volume clusters".

Study has been significantly optimized. Now you can set the profile size up to 500 bars (limit can be lifted if you change max_bars_back in the source code).
Release Notes
Correct way (I'm sure of it) to calculate row value. It could be wrong.
Release Notes
Fix preview chart
Release Notes
Fix the calculation of the first bar.
Release Notes
Highlight peak volume in a profile
Release Notes
Maybe fix for profile disappearing
Release Notes
Draw a profile using labels
Release Notes
* Fix "Invalid symbol" warning when the custom volume source is enabled.
