Market Profile Indicators

Recommended Posts

This topic has been posted over and over again in the Tradestation support forums and there just isn't anything good at doing it precisely like the market profile books depict.

 

Personally, I use the 'Matrix' window in Tradestation for the volume distribution and combine it with a 30-min chart to get the overall visual impression. I never liked the letters much anyway -- it is not intuitive to me to look at letters --- I find myself always trying to rebuild the letters into what the intraday chart would look like. The 'profile shape' is the volume distribution anyway (in Matrix)... just can't chart it over many days -- that is the bummer.

 

To me it isn't crucial, I think Market Profile is for 'context' much more than anything like a normal 'indicator'... just my opinion.

I totally agree...it isn't an exact science, so I don't see how it would matter one way or another as long as you have reasonable reliable context and price/time/volume data to work with.

I am a Tradestation user!

Thanks

Tradestation is really cr*p for MP. All but one of the sMP solutions do not have the functionality of easily splitting and merging profiles and showing volume profiles (which to me is critical to using MP for trading). The one "good" one is a bit clunky and is expensive- http://www.sirtrade.com/market.htm

 

The best TS solution I know of is to use the TS data into Ninjatrader which is FREE if you only use it to chart and to buy the MP add-on for about $250 one time cost.

wow that sirtrade MP is incredible but good lord that price is absurd.

Is the CBOT fee the reason why tradestation doesn't have much going on for market profile? It just doesn't seem like it can be that hard to code up to get the basic profile.

Yeah you're right...I think $250 (for Ninjatrader MP) is a little overboard...I am sure coding it is really no different than any other indicator. lol

well compared to Sirtrade at 400 euros a year and 7 bucks a month CBOT fee that Ninja plugin looks like real a bargain. I think 250 is a fair price for that that does, it looks pretty too.

 

thanks for that waveslider, I will check that out.

Try this one, you have to fool around with the fonts of the letters and zoom in here and there.

 

I used it on 5min Chart, I got error message "array bounds"

Could you tell me what wrong with my settting, I used default setting.

 

Thanks

Does anyone know of a current Market Profile indicator for TradeStation, fee-based or otherwise?

 

 

This response is quite late, but I recently purchased a market profile indicator from don disharoon, email is dondish@erols.net

 

It neatly plots market profile using day session data only and includes a side indicator showing the developing value area high/low/poc on minute bars. I believe he offers a one week free trial. FYI: You cannot merge days nor does the indicator work on overnight sessions, but his price is very fair.

What is the exact price that he charges for his indicator ? does it work's well in Tradestation 8.2 ? :confused:

E-mail Don and ask for price.

 

I have run the indicators in both TS 8.2 and 8.3 without a problem

    • Date: 22nd November 2024.   BTC flirts with $100K, Stocks higher, Eurozone PMI signals recession risk.   Asia & European Sessions:   Geopolitical risks are back in the spotlight on fears of escalation in the Ukraine-Russia after Russia reportedly used a new ICBM to retaliate against Ukraine’s use of US and UK made missiles to attack inside Russia. The markets continue to assess the election results as President-elect Trump fills in his cabinet choices, with the key Treasury Secretary spot still open. The Fed’s rate path continues to be debated with a -25 bp December cut seen as 50-50. Earnings season is coming to an end after mixed reports, though AI remains a major driver. Profit taking and rebalancing into year-end are adding to gyrations too. Wall Street rallied, led by the Dow’s 1.06% broadbased pop. The S&P500 advanced 0.53% and the NASDAQ inched up 0.03%. Asian stocks rose after  Nvidia’s rally. Nikkei added 1% to 38,415.32 after the Tokyo inflation data slowed to 2.3% in October from 2.5% in the prior month, reaching its lowest level since January. The rally was also supported by chip-related stocks tracked Nvidia. Overnight-indexed swaps indicate that it’s certain the Reserve Bank of New Zealand will cut its policy rate by 50 basis points on Nov. 27, with a 22% chance of a 75 basis points reduction. European stocks futures climbed even though German Q3 GDP growth revised down to 0.1% q/q from the 0.2% q/q reported initially. Cryptocurrency market has gained approximately $1 trillion since Trump’s victory in the Nov. 5 election. Recent announcement for the SEC boosted cryptos. Chair Gary Gensler will step down on January 20, the day Trump is set to be inaugurated. Gensler has pushed for more protections for crypto investors. MicroStrategy Inc.’s plans to accelerate purchases of the token, and the debut of options on US Bitcoin ETFs also support this rally. Trump’s transition team has begun discussions on the possibility of creating a new White House position focused on digital asset policy.     Financial Markets Performance: The US Dollar recovered overnight and closed at 107.00. Bitcoin currently at 99,300,  flirting with a run toward the 100,000 level. The EURUSD drifts below 1.05, the GBPUSD dips to June’s bottom at 1.2570, while USDJPY rebounded to 154.94. The AUDNZD spiked to 2-year highs amid speculation the RBNZ will cut the official cash rate by more than 50 bps next week. Oil surged 2.12% to $70.46. Gold spiked to 2,697 after escalation alerts between Russia and Ukraine. Heightened geopolitical tensions drove investors toward safe-haven assets. Gold has surged by 30% this year. Haven demand balanced out the pressure from a strong USD following mixed US labor data. Silver rose 0.9% to 31.38, while palladium increased by 0.9% to 1,040.85 per ounce. Platinum remained unchanged. Always trade with strict risk management.
