Request for "clearing Volume Profile" function on the DOM (With keyboard Shortcut)

Would like to be able to reset/clear out the volume profile on the trading DOM at any given moment. Is this possible?

If not, can you separate out clearing the current bid/ask volume from clearing out the Current Traded Total Volume? Atm, if I clear out the Current bid/ask volume, the Current Traded total volume also clears out (which I want to remain static and have its own clear out shortcut).

This idea of clearing out a developing volume profile is the only differentiator between a SC DOM and a Jigsaw/Daytradr DOM. Otherwise, SC would be THE standard for trading DOMs for order flow traders.

No. This technically does not make sense. We do not even see how this is logical either. The current traded bid volume, ask volume and total volume are all related. The total volume is the sum of the bid volume and ask volume.

What could be done is to create a custom study which could change the starting Date-Time of a Volume by Price study which is added to a chart or Trading DOM.

I see, I only suggested separating the total volume because it can act like a "custom" volume profile, which I can reset whenever. Ideally, I would like to be able to reset the volume profile indicator itself at the click of a button without having to go into the settings and changing the start time.. this is the only thing the Jigsaw DOM has over Sierra chart for me.

We will see if we can create a study to do this.

In the next release there is a new study named Volume by Price Reset Button which will accomplish this.

Thank you for producing this study. Is the source available for it (or an underlying function that another ACSIL study can call)?

It would be useful to enhance/write a study to automatically reset the profile in a DOM at a specified interval eg 30 min; 10 range; etc.

In this way, one could have the equivalent of the last bar of a chart, say showing the session VP and the VP of the last ‘period’ since reset (assuming one could reset either/both the current and/or the total volume) WITHIN a DOM. This would be a great way to save screen space and retain focus on a DOM without having a chart running for the same period. I appreciate that applying a ChartDOM to a chart yields the same view but this is harder to ‘stack’ together side by side in as efficient way as multiple DOMs when viewing multiple markets.

Source code is in the /ACS_Source/studies2.cpp file. Function name is scsf_VolumeByPriceResetButton.

Hi BinaryDuke, were you able to make any progress with modifying the source to achieve your goal? I am looking to do the same in order to automatically reset the Current Bid/Ask Volume every 30 minutes, starting at 08:30 CST.
Cheers!

@binaryduke @trying were you guys able to figure out how to automatically reset the Vbp study on the DOM? I'm trying to have this study reset every certain period (e.g. every 1min, 5min, 30secs, etc.) so that I can see the latest Delta at price and potentially see orders getting stuck and ready to puke out. I think you were trying to do something similar...
