1) Do you recommend using intraday chart setting or historical chart setting to create weekly and monthly market profiles and volume profiles ? 2) For weekly and monthly price charts do you recommend using historical or intraday charts any specific suggestions/key points to consider when choosing "timeframe setting" for the above Thank you Steven Leon |

Definitely use Intraday data for weekly profiles. And monthly if you need precision. Otherwise, historical Daily data might be ok for monthly. But probably not.

Thank you this was extremely helpful ! I have three follow up questions: 1) What do you suggest I use for intraday time settings (day-min-sec) for a TPO/VP? I was thinking day should be = 0 because its intraday. For minutes I was thinking of either using 1 min or 30 min (given market profile). So would you suggest (0-1-0) or (0-30-0) 2) Despite reading as much as I can on the support board i still dont understand the difference between historical data and intraday data ? I feel like if i really understood it i would not be asking these questions. Can you try to explain the differences and when one would be used over the other. I thought that because its a weekly TPO/VP it would use historical data. Seems like I am not understanding the difference or how to apply in different situations/different charts. 3) Which of the two types allows to obtain data further back in time ? I would think historical but i read that there is a limit of 1095 days. Is this correct ? Also for intraday chart do the number of days to load, go further back in time ? For ES (using SC data feed how far back in time are you able to go for a continuous contract (how many days to load is maximum). Thank you very much. Your time is greatly appreciated |
