Thanks Blu!

Question - is there a way for me to calculate these numbers myself to verify and/or have them in case this person doesn't post them on the forum? I don't like relying 100% on a forum for the numbers.

Also - are there other site(s) that you know of that have this listed as well for backup?

Thanks.
I dont have access to a market profile charting package with the prop desk so I draw them manually on excel and calculate the volume at price. Then I just take the most volume price level and reorder them in order to get 70% of volume, hence value area. I do this twice a day, one after the morning session and one after the afternoon.

I do not recommend this procedure as it is time consuming so best to pay for a third party market profile vendor. I have thoroughly searched the net for any value area numbers available but the only site that has it is the link provided by Blu. Im sure there is a way to program your excel and connect it with your current data feed vendor in order to get these values.
