Market/Volume Profile Indicator on Tradestation

Recommended Posts

Why is it so difficult to find a Market or/and a Volume Profile Indicator free and really works on Tradestation ?

Is it a limitation of the Easy language or a political problem ?

--> Limitation of the Easy language

 

More precisely, the limited ability to manage a database.

 

 

 

There are free versions posted here, therefore politics is not an issue.

The paid versions come with a proprietary database add-on.

Thank you for your answer. I used all the free versions available. None of them works properly.

 

 

to further learning, may I suggest:

 

1. you can post the links to the ones you have tried, so that others can test the same.

 

2. post your usage experience: pros, cons, strengths, weaknesses, etc.,

 

if you share your findings, others will chime in... and we can learn from each other.

 

 

 

maybe they all work... all you need is a little tweaking.

It dosen't really need a database if you are prepared to average the volume in a bar across the prices between low and high. This is how most (if not all packages do it)

 

FinAlgs package for Ninja does this and it is excellent and supports both volume and time profiles. Atrader is an interesting little program too.

 

I wrote half the code for a volume profile in tradestation for Jperls PVP. This stores volume at each price level in an array. It only displays the peak volume. All it would require to display a histogram would be to loop through the array to display each element. I might be prepared to part with the code if anyone is up for doing the display stuff?

Hi BlowFish,

I've read many of your posts in "Trading with market statistic" from Jperl, Volume splitter and others, and I use every day your stuff.......very cool and good stuff.

I'm not very good with easylanguage, only simple things, so when I've read your post that you can create a Volume histogram simply modifying and looping the PVP indicator used for the VWAP + PVP using ADE, I've decided to write you about this.

I use Multicharts and tradestation (better Multicharts than TS), so if you could help me in coding the entire Volume histogram using tick chart and ADE, I will thank you all the life......and I post all the charts or all what your code display here

Sorry for my not good english, but I'm italian and not very good in english writing.

Thanks and Regrads

Hi Crazy thanks for the kind words. it is a fairly straightforward task but would still require a fair amount of work. All the information you have is there it's already in the array. It's simply a matter of displaying it. That is not really hard just a bit fiddly. At the moment I don't really have the time to undertake it.

Thanks a lot again BlowFish.

I'll try to make it on my own and if I reach a good target, I'll post it here for everybody, in honor of your work.

 

Thanks again

hi

crazynasdaq ->Tick Data Processing

 

if i've understood well you take free stuff and after sell them ??? mmmhhh

 

Hi Shrike,

You have not understood well. I've made a packet of indicators and then I lease them, but only those that I've made myself like the Volume Profile, the Volume Control Panel, the Volume Force index, The Volume Pressure, the Volume acceleration and others little but useful stuff. The others, the ones that everyone can find on the web is free, so you did not understand well. I'm sorry, but you are wrong.

I have used a modified version of TPO Pro6.0b on a volume and time chart to get a pretty good market profile going. It even shows the developing VAH, VAL and POC. What I'm looking for however is an indicator that can give me the MP of the week and not just the day or intraday. I want the volume distribution of the entire week, not each day separately. Does anyone know if this has been done on TS or MultiCharts?

 

Thanks

Hi Zardoz, maybe I know how to modify it to build a weekly Voume profile or a monthly or custom, because I've already done with the PVP indicator of DBntina and Blowfish.

But you should share with us your code if you would like to recieve some support, considering that you have posted this request in a thread where we are trying to build a daily volume profile.

Thanks garp and Crazynas for replying. This was probably not the correct thread to make this inquiry. As for posting the code TPO Pro6.0b, it is pretty much the same as TPO Pro5 and that has been posted to Traders Lab a few times already. If one can't change that to a weekly or multi day profile then it can't be done to TPO Pro6 either. I have some coding experience i.e I created all of Dr Elder's indicators for myself but the TPO is complicated and because I don't know all the limitations of TS or MCharts I don't even know if a weekly MP is possible. Before I spend many days (spent a few hours already) going through the code I would like to know that it is at least possible.

 

The TPO Pro 5 can be easily modified to show developing POC and Value areas even if you don't understand 80% of the code.

 

I went to that site garp and even there it was not clear to me whether or not they can do multi day compressed MP.

How do you convert TPO to Volume profile ?

Which part of the code ?

If you share with us some informations, maybe we can help each other .

I did not convert the TPO to Volume. What I do is put the TPO on a vol bar chart. The more vol there is at any price the more bars are created and counted. The results match up very well with the e-signals.

 

The TPO ELD gives you the 70% (value Area) and the POC so if you put it on a vol bar chart you get these values for volume. Lower the vol per bar more accurate the results.

 

The magenta lines in the second pic show the developing VAH/L. The dotted magenta line shows POC.

Hi Guys,

 

Very Interesting discussion, I have a TS market profile indicator that also do volume profile. It gives accurate VAH POC and VAL.

It allows Long term profiles so You can apply it almost every timeframe including the weekly .The code is open . I can share it against another MP/VP indicator. If any interest reply to me her here or by PM and show me a screenshot of what you want to share.

 

Have a good trading day everyone.

Hi Zardoz:

 

Could you please help me better understand how you set up the volume histogram? I do have TPO Pro5 but from there I don't know how to show a single vertical (not horizontal) volume histogram such as the one you showed in the attachment.

 

Does TPO Pro6.0b do that? If so, where can I find it? I've tried to locate it but no success

 

Thanks!

TPO Pro 5 should be able to do it. What I did was make a new indicator and then codied the code from TPO into it. So I had two copies of the same thing. Then I could experiment with code changes without messing up the original. For the Volume histogram I got rid of the letters in the code "ABCDEF.......... " and replaced them with *=*=*= . Then for the inputs I used 0.25 for compress and 15 for len.

    • Be careful who you blame.   I can tell you one thing for sure.   Effective traders don’t blame others when things start to go wrong.   You can hang onto your tendency to play the victim, or the martyr… but if you want to achieve in trading, you have to be prepared to take responsibility.   People assign reasons to outcomes, whether based on internal or external factors.   When traders face losses, it's common for them to blame bad luck, poor advice, or other external factors, rather than reflecting on their own personal attributes like arrogance, fear, or greed.   This is a challenging lesson to grasp in your trading journey, but one that holds immense value.   This is called attribution theory. Taking responsibility for your actions is the key to improving your trading skills. Pause and ask yourself - What role did I play in my financial decisions?   After all, you were the one who listened to that source, and decided to act on that trade based on the rumour. Attributing results solely to external circumstances is what is known as having an ‘external locus of control’.   It's a concept coined by psychologist Julian Rotter in 1954. A trader with an external locus of control might say, "I made a profit because the markets are currently favourable."   Instead, strive to develop an "internal locus of control" and take ownership of your actions.   Assume that all trading results are within your realm of responsibility and actively seek ways to improve your own behaviour.   This is the fastest route to enhancing your trading abilities. A trader with an internal locus of control might proudly state, "My equity curve is rising because I am a disciplined trader who faithfully follows my trading plan."

    • SELF IMPROVEMENT.   The whole self-help industry began when Dale Carnegie published How to Win Friends and Influence People in 1936. Then came other classics like Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins toward the end of the century.   Today, teaching people how to improve themselves is a business. A pure ruthless business where some people sell utter bullshit.   There are broke Instagrammers and YouTubers with literally no solid background teaching men how to be attractive to women, how to begin a start-up, how to become successful — most of these guys speaking nothing more than hollow motivational words and cliche stuff. They waste your time. Some of these people who present themselves as hugely successful also give talks and write books.   There are so many books on financial advice, self-improvement, love, etc and some people actually try to read them. They are a waste of time, mostly.   When you start reading a dozen books on finance you realize that they all say the same stuff.   You are not going to live forever in the learning phase. Don't procrastinate by reading bull-shit or the same good knowledge in 10 books. What we ought to do is choose wisely.   Yes. A good book can change your life, given you do what it asks you to do.   All the books I have named up to now are worthy of reading. Tim Ferriss, Simon Sinek, Robert Greene — these guys are worthy of reading. These guys teach what others don't. Their books are unique and actually, come from relevant and successful people.   When Richard Branson writes a book about entrepreneurship, go read it. Every line in that book is said by one of the greatest entrepreneurs of our time.   When a Chinese millionaire( he claims to be) Youtuber who releases a video titled “Why reading books keeps you broke” and a year later another one “My recommendation of books for grand success” you should be wise to tell him to jump from Victoria Falls.   These self-improvement gurus sell you delusions.   They say they have those little tricks that only they know that if you use, everything in your life will be perfect. Those little tricks. We are just “making of a to-do-list before sleeping” away from becoming the next Bill Gates.   There are no little tricks.   There is no success-mantra.   Self-improvement is a trap for 99% of the people. You can't do that unless you are very, very strong.   If you are looking for easy ways, you will only keep wasting your time forgetting that your time on this planet is limited, as alive humans that is.   Also, I feel that people who claim to read like a book a day or promote it are idiots. You retain nothing. When you do read a good book, you read slow, sometimes a whole paragraph, again and again, dwelling on it, trying to internalize its knowledge. You try to understand. You think. It takes time.   It's better to read a good book 10 times than 1000 stupid ones.   So be choosy. Read from the guys who actually know something, not some wannabe ‘influencers’.   Edit: Think And Grow Rich was written as a result of a project assigned to Napoleon Hill by Andrew Carnegie(the 2nd richest man in recent history). He was asked to study the most successful people on the planet and document which characteristics made them great. He did extensive work in studying hundreds of the most successful people of that time. The result was that little book.   Nowadays some people just study Instagram algorithms and think of themselves as a Dale Carnegie or Anthony Robbins.
