Support --> Thanks in advance for considering this request.

In Studies2 there is source for a single bar, SCSFExport scsf_ValueAreaForBars(SCStudyInterfaceRef sc)

Can you also provide source to the Volume Value Area Lines study? Or is it there already, and my search missed it?

I want to take the source for the 'Volume Value Area Lines' study and not use it on a fixed lookback period. This would be the equivalent of a stripped down VBP tool for what I need.

My issue with using the VBP tool is that each time I would need to call it, it will create a new instance of the study VBP. Using this tool it is only 3 subgraphs in one instance of the study, that draws the equivalent of many VBP tools. Way more efficient.

A different solution would be for another API similar to   sc.GetPointOfControlAndValueAreaPricesForBar
for multiple bars.

If any others have a study that does this -> calculate a VBP for multiple bars, so I can get POC, VAH and VAL, that is all I need. I would be grateful for any one to share.

I am running a 1 minute chart set as a TPO chart with a a volume by price study set for 5 days...and it says the point of control is 5667.25 but if i run the volume value lines study on a 1 minute chart and set it to 5 days i am getting a point of control of 5672...I cant figure out why these are different, both charts are set with the same time settings
