You will be able to the Volume Profile to: Current Session, Previous Session, Current Week, Previous Week, Current Month, Previous Month, Minutes Bar and Seconds Bar. While using larger timeframes it will take longer to long as we use tick data. ![Volume Profile Duration Options](https://tradingorderflow.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/volume-profile-duration-options.png) ### Data Type Select From different types of Volume Profiles: **Buys** – Will display only trades that occur at the ask or above. **Sells**– Will display only trades that occur at the bid and below. **Buys and Sells** – Will display in Buys and Sells in a dual like profile. **Linear Delta** – Will display the buys minus the sells that occurred at that price level. **Diagonal Delta** – Will display the upper price buys at Ask minus the lower price sells at Bid. **Total** – This will display both buys and sells, this will be your regular volume profile. ![Volume Profile data types option](https://tradingorderflow.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/volume-profile-data-types-option.png) ### **Trading Hours** Select the Trading Session. ### Delta Dual View When in **Data Type Linear Delta** or **Diagonal Delta** you can choose to display the Delta in Dual View Mode. This will center the bars and around zero. ![volume Profile delta dual view](https://tradingorderflow.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/volume-delta-dual-view.png) Delta Ratio Mode This will allow you see the volume ratio between buys and sells. ### Minute Bars/Seconds Period Sets the duration of the "**MinutesBars**" in **Volume Profile Duration**. ## Filter Volume Pro allows you to filter any trade size and count and display trades based on your filtering criteria. ![volume profile filter by trade size](https://tradingorderflow.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/volume-profile-filter-by-trade-size.png) ### Filter Mode Filter Mode is a very useful and advanced setting. You can spot price levels that were traded by large lot traders, small trades and much more. Filter mode inherits the value from Filter Value. This setting allows you to apply several types of filtering conditions: ![Volume Profile filter modes](https://tradingorderflow.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/volume-profile-filter-modes.png) **Equal** – Display volume that is equal to the Filter Value. Useful if you are tracking a particular quantity of volume traded. **Does Not Equal** – Displays volume were the trades do not match the value of Filter Value. Useful if you do not want to see one lot trades, for example. **Less Than** – Filters the volume that is lower than the specified Filter Value. Useful to see the activity of small trades. **Less Than or Equal**– Expands the previous Filter Mode allowing you to include the value specified in the Filter Value. **Greater Than** – Display volumes that are above the Filter Value. This is a common setting among volume profile. Allows you to spot the large traded quantities and price levels that traded heavily. **Greater Than or Equal** – expands the previous Filter Mode, allowing you to include the value set on Filter Value option. Like the previous Filter Mode, this setting allows for an easy display of were large trade volume. ### Filter Value The value used to filter the column. ### Reconstruct Trades for Filtering Enable the reconstruction and consolidation of smaller trades when filtering the volume profile. Thus filtering for the reconstructed value of the trade and not the linear size of the trade. You will be able to for example set the filter value of 10, If you have reconstructed trades enable it will reconstruct the trades prior to evaluating the value. ## Value Area/VPOC ![volume profile value area and vpoc options](https://tradingorderflow.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/volume-profile-value-area-and-vpoc-options.png) Here you will be able to control the display and value options for the Value Area and VPOC (Volume Point of Control) ### Show VA and VPOC Sets the visibility of the Volume Value Area and the Volume Point of Control. Enabled will color the bars with a different color. ### Value Area Percentage Sets the Value Area Percentage. By default, its set at 68.2% that equal one standard deviation limit of the volume traded. This will color the bars that account for 68.2% of the volume on the column. Although most traders use 68.2% or 70%. There is no reason why you could not customize this setting. You could easily have another volume column set to 95.4%, which is the second standard deviation value. ### Value Area Color Sets the color for the Volume Value Area. ### VPOC Color Sets the color for the Volume Point of Control. The largest traded price (with the most volume) where we observe the maximum of the Volume Profile. ## Visual Parameters An enormous amount of options to customize the look of the Volume Profile. ![volume profile visual parameters](https://tradingorderflow.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/volume-profile-visual-parameters.png) ### Steady SuperDOM Enable Steady SuperDOM. ### Increase Font Size This allows you to increase the font size while displaying the same number of rows. This option as a range between 0 and 3. Zero will make no changes to the font size selected in the SuperDOM properties and effectively add more space around the cells. This option tries to give you better visibility of the text. ### Text to Display **Volume** – display traded volume at price. **Percentage** – display the percentage of volume by price. Useful to compare between days or instruments as a percentage is a ratio or a relative number and expressed as a fraction. This is also useful if you are looking at low/high volume areas that are below a certain percentage value. ### Visual Type Set the Visual Type **Bar and Text** – display both the Bar in its relative size as well as any text chose in the previous setting. **Bar** – display only the bars. On Mouse Hover text will be displayed for the particular price. **Text** – display only text. ### Text Position Sets the position of the Text Relative to the cell. ### Bars Direction **Left to Right** – Bars will start from the left end and populate to the right. **Right To Left** – Bars will start from the right and populate to the left. ### Use Transparency Transparency is set relative to the total profile volume. This will create a visual effect that will allow you to spot areas that heavily traded in comparison to low volume traded areas. This gives you instant visual feedback. ### Bars Color Sets the color of the bars outside the Value Area and VPOC. If the Show VA and VPOC is disabled this color will be applied to all bars if Visual Type setting is set to Bars or Bars and Text. ### Delta Positive Color Sets the color for positive delta when Data Type is set to Linear Delta or Diagonal Delta. ### Delta Negative Color Sets the color for negative delta when Data Type is set to Linear Delta or Diagonal Delta. ### Summary Stats Display Summary Statistics of the column. ![volume profile summary statistics](https://tradingorderflow.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/volume-profile-summary-statistics.png) **Total Volume** – Total volume of the session – Text color inherits the color of Color for Text. **Delta** – Total amount of buy-side volume minus sell side volume – Text color inherits from the Delta Negative or Positive Color. **Sells** – Total amount of sell-side volume – Text color inherits from the Delta Negative or Positive Color. **Buys** – Total amount of buy-side volume – Text color inherits from the Delta Negative or Positive Color. **Session Range** – Shows the range of the session in price levels – Text color inherits from the Delta Negative or Positive Color and its colored based on the percentage change of the session. **Session Percentage Change** – Text color inherits from the Delta Negative or Positive Color and its color based on the percentage change of the session. ### Background Color Sets the color for column background. ### Color For Text Sets the color for the text. ### Price Relation ![volume profile price relation](https://tradingorderflow.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/volume-profile-price-relation.png) Sets visibility of Price Relation. Price Relation will display a small rectangle at the base of the profile indicating if the session is up (last price is higher than the open - positive session) or down (last price is lower than the open - negative session). It measures and gives you the relation between the current price and the opening price. ### Session Up Color Sets the color for up Session.
