Hello Everyone,

When I set up my TPO and volume profile, I had these different lines that appeared. I figured out the blue lines, but I couldn't figure out what the Red and Green lines were for. I haven't changed anything on my TPO settings. I've tried going through both Volume at profile and TPO settings. I can seem to figure it out.

Anyone know? Photo attached for reference.

The Red and Green lines are your Initial Balance Range. In particular, the Input for IBR Extension Display Mode is set to Horizontal Lines, which is why you have the lines displayed.

Refer to the documentation for that Input here:

Hello John,

The initial balance range is just the first hour of trading range. But the red-line and the green line (redline in particular) are below the entire days range. How could it be the Initial balance's range? also some days I don't even get the green line. If it was the IB range, I should see both lines every day right?

I've attached a photo,

Thank-you
Bhupinder
