//

//Market Profile based on volume distribution

//Program plots volume at price for various time frames as specified by parameters.

//Program also displays the instantaneous volume and cumulative volume for the chosen time frame at bottom of screen.

//

//

//Known Issues: version 1.71

//Program has been tested with QP data for EOD and eSignal and iqfeed for real time.

//Code works well for EOD data.

//Real time has 2 issues:

// 1. Occasionally display has to be shrunk or expanded to display properly.

// the problem arises from computing the first visible bar and Quick AFL changing the number of bars available

// when time frames are changed or dissplay is shrunk or expanded.

// 2. Real time display is organized in two groups. Display for one full day and display shorter time periods.

// The shorted time periods do not work properly and the opions is inhibited in the parameter settings.

//

//The code is heavy on CPU usage and it is useful to run it once at the end of each bar for real time.

//Compiling code may be useful in speeding up execution.

//

//

//SetBarsRequired(10000,0);

// Functions - Real time data: Compute_RT_Intraday_1, Compute_RT_Daily, Compute_EOD_Weekly,

// Functions - EOD Data: Compute_EOD_Monthly, Compute_EOD_Quarterly

// Functions - FindFirstBar, DataCollect, DataReconstruct, PlotChart, PlotVolumeStats, Plot_POC_UVA_LVA.

// Functions - Verify Volume - Generate error message if volume is not available

// Functions - UpdateDynamicVars - Create names for dynamic variables

// Functions - ComputeDataBlockParms - Compute values for each block. Use start and end markers for blocks

//

//globals. VMP prefix used for all globals so they are unique to this module.

!!! IMPORTANT !!!

 

Set your market time in the code

 

Before

 

//Preferences set to mark time at "06:30" and "13:10"

//Time stamp must be for start of bar

VMP_StartTime = 63000;

VMP_EndTime = 131000;

Minutes_perday = 405;

 

After

My FUTURE market Time

 

//Preferences set to mark time at "08:00" and "22:00"

//Time stamp must be for start of bar

VMP_StartTime = 80000;

VMP_EndTime = 220000;

Minutes_perday = 840;

To see the code, you can open Amibroker code (.afl) with any text editor. Notepad for example will work.
