Volume Profile Channel [CE]

Volume Profile Channel

Volume Profile Channel, Is the first of its kind tool that will plot a volume profile in any directional channel, the tool will calculate a profile and display the following, POC/VAH/VAL.
The typical profile works by on a horizontal access such that ticksize can be calculated along the y axis and data can then be used to generate a profile, the angle of a parallel channel would make this unavailable.
By cleverly using the angle at which the profile is created, a diagonal ticksize is generated and applied to the profile to create a first of its kind parallel channel volume profile tool!



User Controllable Width:


As compared to the above or below images, users have the ability to control the width this will allow them to show how much of the space the profile will draw on the chart with, using the value "0"
can be done to completely remove the profile whilst still tracking the POC,VAH,VAL

0 Width:


Users can the total number of rows,
Number Of Rows 50:


Ability to "anti-alias" the profile as well below will show a comparison of this occurring:
Unsmoothed


Smoothed



The advantage of using this is that as opposed to relying datasets of mid points or custom equal values along a parallel channel , users can now use the profile to see where the channel has the most interaction, (POC).
This allows for an objective look into the data as opposed to identifying by "eye" where traders are exchanging hands or vs using values such as the midpoint which may not necessarily always be a point of interest as the POC will be.

The VAH/VAL levels give good opportunity to see reactions at levels we may not previously be able to see in the channel with fixed values, allowing us to take positions in a more dynamic sense which may not be identifiable with fixed positions, 0.25,0.5,0.75 etc...
