Volume Profile Start time?

View Count: 302

I would like to create a volume profile that begins at the open of the RTH session 9:30 EST and builds out the profile over a specific amount of volume, 250,000 lots for example. Then, begins building the next volume profile, for another 250,000 lots. I have tried countless settings and cannot seem to get this working. I can setup a volume based "Multiple profiles based on bar count" and then apply it to a chart setup with Volume per bar. But I cannot get the start time to work in any way. Your help with this is greatly appreciated.

There is not an option to have both a Start Time and a profile based on volume. The best option is what you have done with the Volume per Bar. To get a start time, just be sure your session start time is 09:30 EST and that you have the option for "New Bar at Session Start" set to "Yes". Refer to the following:
Chart Session Times

Another option would be to have a chart that starts at 09:30 EST and has only 1 day loaded. Then add the Volume by Price setup for the Volume you want. The only downside to this is that once the volume is accumulated, it will not start a new profile, it will just continue to roll forward with the 250,000 volume by dropping the earliest bar's volume from the calculation.
