Volume Point of Control

Hello, does IRT have the capacity to plot the volume point of control for each 3 minute bar similar to what a 3min footprint chart would show but in this case it paints a dot on the candle?

Re: Volume Point of Control

Good timing on that question. I was just working on a new charting style for traditional charts called "Volume Profile" which draws any bar (of any periodicity) as a volume-at-price profile:

With this in place, Investor/RT now stores within each bar, the volume at each price, and therefore will have access to it in order to do things such as draw a dot at volume POC on bars or candles. I'll see what I can do.

No, it will be available in 9.2, which should be ready in next couple weeks (at least for beta testing).

Re: Volume Point of Control

Great, thanks. Does that mean it will be added to Market Delta to or does MD already store that info?

Re: Volume Point of Control

This will be great to have. Will you be able to composite some of the candles the way you can on say a regular MP chart? Thanks Chad...

Re: Volume Point of Control

That's not in the initial design, but keep in mind you can display these volume profiles on any periodicity such as a "rangebar" or "volumebar" or "tickbars"....which are to some extent composites in and of themselves.
