Hi all,

I am looking for a volume profile (not TPO not based on price). I would like to be able to display accurate (from unfiltered ticks) a volume profile by time. Ideally the chart would have a full day profile and half hour or hourly profiles as well. I would like the chart to be capable of displaying historical profiles as well as real time profiles. I would like to see it in ninjatrader if possible. I do not need any bells and whistles like value areas, VPOCs or lines of any sort.



Please point me in the right direction if you know of something good. I have seen IRT, which is great really and truly, however I am looking for a cheaper alternative hopefully FREE . Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks.

Add a volume histogram to your daily, 30, and 60 minutes charts -- then tilt your screen...

I wish it was that easy, I need a profile so volume at each tick. The histogram would not cut it unfortunately.

Checked it.
They talk about GOM and the other 3rd party one.

I have heard GOM does not have historical and you need to have your pc on 24/7 to get it to display what you need. I am not sure if this is true or not, anyone have experience with GOM's latest version?

The cheapest and most advanced & flexible solution is IRT (with backfill / historical service provided by DTN ($15/month) + Standard Edition ($40/month)

Ninjatrader ($50/month) + (Kinetick $50/month)

IRT is a good choice, but if you prefer NT, ranchodinero VP tools for ninja platform are excellent. It's not cheap (unless you got on board early ) but you can purchase it outright or lease.

@Lornz is joking, but consider why you need more on your charts, just because VP/TPO are the current rage doesn't make it right for you. But if you must Ensign Windows maybe all you need, at no extra cost and does time and volume both. Simpler and better IMO than comparables.

Although the arrogant so and so is correct , daily price bars tell you as much...... intra day trading is NOT only way to go.


ANd in addition to VP/TPO, it will do Gann/EW/Pesavento if your esoteric self desires so, its an anomalous charting package, and ya cant trade trhough it, but worth your time to look through.

Need more on my charts? I don't use charts to trade so I guess it could be rephrased as why do you need charts at all. The answer I give is: Context. Bars do help, and have been enough so far, however it is quicker to read off a volume dist. It takes less work. I am not a profiler per/se and don't really plan on being one. However I am looking for solutions that allow me to spend less time looking at charts in the morning and this is a good one for what I need them for. I like to know where there was activity and where people are long/short from, the volume profile makes this much easier to see and read IMO.

Will check out ensign Thanks a lot for the suggestion. Appreciate it. Anyone else with a good solution please chime in.

I revise my original post I do not need hourly at all, daily is fine and maybe a collapsed one for a week or so would be more than enough for my purposes.
