I would like to request an enhancement.

I would like a study that pulls out the Peaks and Valleys of a Composite Profile so I can automatically show them on an intraday chart. This would be very similar to what's been done with the Volume Value Area Lines study. You could even add them to that study if that's easier.

I'd like to see those values on my intraday charts. Right now i have to use the Horizontal Line study and manually update it every morning, and even then it may not keep pace with that day's market activity.

Did you want to extend the peaks and valleys forward and display price labels on them?

I want to extend them across my intraday chart when i transpose them onto that chart just as a Horizontal Line would display. And yes, i would like to be able to label them as well. But i'd really like to be able to apply a "Name" to them if that's possible (Short Name).

I have a "composite" chart which is an intraday chart with daily bars (1-0-0). This chart has a "composite" profile for all the days on the chart (typically 180 days).

I want to show the peaks and valleys of that composite profile on that chart, but i also want to display those P&V levels on my intraday, shorter timeframe, "trigger" chart.

As you know, i can't use the study/price overlay study to show the VbP study on the trigger chart. The only way for me to get those composite levels onto the trigger chart is to use a Horizontal Line study on the Composite chart then use the study/price overlay study on the trigger chart to display the Horizontal Lines from my composite chart onto my trigger chart.

I could also use the Horizontal Line study on the trigger chart directly and manually input the composite levels, but this is no less manual and without the two studies (Peaks & Valleys and Horizontal Line) on the same chart you don't get to see any mistakes. Neither of these options update themselves. Each day i have to manually enter any new levels or adjust the existing levels.

A new function will be added in about a week to ACSIL to support getting the Peak and Valley lines from a study like the Volume by Price study.

This in and of itself may not meet your requirements but a programmer can accomplish what you need.

So then a programmer can do whatever they require with those.

Assuming the function is GetStudyPeakValleyLine, how is this intended to be used?
Loop across prices and find out where peaks and valleys are, something like follows?


for (price = 120.0f; price < 125; price += n * sc.TickSize) {
GetStudyPeakValleyLine(ChartNumber,StudyID, price, PeakValleyType, StartIndex, PeakValleyExtensionChartColumnEndIndex);
if (PEAKVALLEYTYPE_VALLEY == PeakValleyType) {
// process valley
}
}

Is there any way to get a list of all peaks and valleys for a TPO / Volume Profile?
I searched in ACS_Source, couldn't find any other function.

We are changing the implementation of this function, to be more practical, and we will update the ACSIL functions documentation for it. This will be out in the next release.
