Calculate Value Area - histogram

[dj22522]

Transparent as a colour does not make it transparent....

Re: the CalculateValueAreaHistoNT7.zip in post# 71.

Selecting "Transparent" as a colour for the profile doesn't make it transparent against another indicator that has a background colour.
"Transparent" as a colour makes it white against another indicators background colour.

The zip was kindly converted from NT6.5 to NT7.
Is NT7 the issue here ?

Any assistance appreciated.

Thx

If you download the indicator, don't forget to request a copy of the current ES Tick VAP cache file! With default parameter settings you will not see a profile on your chart without it. Click here and include your machine id in message.

The profile plots as is so not sure what you're referring to with ES Tick VAP and machine ID...?

dj22522, if you have have Volume-At-Price Mode set to UseCache (the default setting) you will only see a profile as it develops for the currently active session as it processes the real-time stream. However, if you want to see the session and composite profiles for prior days, and the mode is UseCache, then I suggest you download the cache file so you won't have to build one. Then the default setting will result in a chart like this.

I'd be grateful if you could help me understand.

The indicator in post# 71 :
1. Does not plot Volume-At-Price, I wish it did, rather it has options of TPO/VWTPO/VOC.
2. The indicator is a "rolling" profile ie: via Parameters a user defined "MinutesForMP" is selected, for instance 15. Such that the profile will display the latest 15 minutes of data.
The profile does not fix itself at the end of a 15 min period and build a new profile each and every 15 minutes.
Rather it keeps "rolling" forward always only covering the latest 15 minutes.

I hope that makes sense. I can't seem to explain it any other way.

3. Are you saying that point 2 above is due to the "UseCache" you mention ?
Such that your cache file will create fixed profiles for, as in the above example, every 15 minutes ?
Your UseCache file will stop the profile rolling forward, in other words, the profile will end after 15 min and a new one will start ?


Many thx.

Sorry about the confusion, but we are talking about 2 different indicators. I cannot answer questions about the CalculateValueAreaHIsto indicator in post# 71. I was referring to the CDA VolumeProfile indicator in post#72 (which I developed); it does not do TPO. It is only VP and will never do TPO. If you want to evaluate the CDA VolumeProfile indicator in post#72, download it from the link, install it, and contact me for the cache file.
Hope that helps.

Ok, thx. Apologies for the misunderstanding.
I don't really wont TPO either but rather Volume at Price

Back to my request of post # 76, if I may re-post it:

Can "transparent" be truly transparent ?
Any assistance appreciated.

Hello,
did anyone a conversion to Ninja Trader 8 with this indicator? Would be very kind, thank you!

Hello andi5385,

Thanks for ylour post.

No, this indicator was not converted as it was thought that the indicator DValueAre was a better replacement. DvalueArea was converted to NT8 and can be found here: https://ninjatraderecosystem.com/use...ad/dvaluearea/
