Post From: Custom Indicator based on sc.VolumeAtPriceForBars

Thanks guys. I'm brand new to SC, so I might be missing something. I'm looking at the VbP indicator, and what it does is like most all other vol@price type indicators. That is, the period of the profile can be set, but it's not a sliding window, it's a fixed period.

I'm struggling to describe this better. Hard to put into words, but a very easy concept. Let's say, for example, I wanted to do a vpoc with a 3 bar look back. At the close of the bar, the prior 3 bars would be consolidated and the vpoc found for those 3 bars. Then, on the close of the next bar, the same thing would occur, take the most current 3 bars, consolidate the volume data, and find the vpoc.

The way it's usually done is that every 3 bars would plot a profile. That's not what I need. That's why I call it a "sliding window".

If you think this is possible, I'd sure appreciate your advice on what settings to use to do this. I did try 100 bars on a 30min chart, but it plotted a profile every 100 bars, not the sliding window effect.
