Apologies for what is likely a neophyte question.

Similar to the function under Tools, I have a simple one minute ES chart. I want to draw a volume profile from the start of the overnight session (in my case 18:00:00) and have it end at 16:59:59, so that it encompasses both the Globex and RTH session. I would also like the chart to reflect the value area (where 70% of the volume has traded) of the time period it is tracking. I would like the profile to reset each session.

The Study your are looking for is called Volume by Price. This study will do everything you are asking for.
Line 33, use From Session Start Time to End
Line 107 to Yes
Line 34 to Days
Line 39 & 40 set your desired time
Line 54 to Yes
Line 56 to 70

Change the colors in the Subgraphs tab.

Thank you for your reply. This is awesome. One question, how do I affix the profile to the left side of the chart so that as time marches on during the period, the profile will continue to be seen?

Another question. Is there a way to adjust the transparency of this study so that drawings “under” it can be seen?
