So I did some minor tweaking to the ToS VolumeProfile study to add 5, 15, and 30 min options. It's not as cool as Trader Dale's but it allows for more fine grained profiles to be set. Here's the code, which you'll have to create a new study and paste it into:
I called the support staff at TOS asking the same question: can I place and adjust the volume profile tool to any length of time on the horizontal axis as I see fit? unfortunately the answer is no.
I am interested in being able to place the volume profile tool on TOS to any particular area of interest regardless of its length in time (horizontal axis). That flexibility is really important because all areas of interest (i.e balance areas particularly) are not created equal.
I am considering migrating to Ninja just for this reason.
You can start a new profile on any bar(s) that you want. However, Thinkscript does not have access to the mouse so it's not possible to have the type of control control seen in the video
I played with the Ninjatrader profile drawing a bit. It works great. Tradovate has profile drawing tool, as well.
It doesn't sound quite right, that you can draw pretty much anything in TOS, but that you can't draw a volume profile.
It would be a wonderful addition to the TOS program. I find it tedious to reconfigure the volume profile indicator to start it on a specific bar.
One way to get closer to a flexible volume profile would be to add a parameter that allowed the user to set a start and end date. I have seen some anchored VWaps that allow the user to set the anchor date.
