Need help optimizing custom indicator

Hello, I have some price distribution indicator. Its originally named as market profile.mq4. But since the original only draw daily price distribution, I've modified them to draw weekly, monthly and yearly. And also 1 modification to draw price distribution from day [i] to day [i+n] with n as n days backward.

But my coding skill is bad, and those indicator were heavily lagged my computer if its set to draw more than 6 cycles of price distribution. And the dynamics price distribution indicator sometimes 'jumped' a year back

I'm wondering if anyone can help me with fixing / debugging those indicators.

Some screenshot of how its look.

Hi dito .. what were you specifically looking to fix? ... you need help optimizing to try to get rid of some of the memory usage that is weighing down your CPU?

Sorry I forgot to say it. The indicator basicly draws all rectangle from the beginning of the loops over and over again everytime a new high / low printed. I can't make it to just draw the last rectangle (or to ignore the current developing price bar).

And would be nice if all distribution is calculated inside an array. Right now its calculated by loops lol, I'm such a primitive programmer. Benefit would be able to implement many statistical function if it were drawn in a memory array.

Right got it ... ill have a little look through when I get some time shortly.

Hi dito
I noticed you have modified the original Market Profile Indicator for the computation of a Mean value instead of the "Point of Control (POC)" which the original author had done so. POC is the same as DRT's yellow line (which is the longest line in a Price Distribution. This line is different from a Mean value. Let's say for a certain period of time for eurusd

Price Occurrences
1.5001 30
1.5000 45
1.4999 44
1.4998 32
1.4997 20


POC or Yellow line would be 1.5000
Mean will be (30+45+44+32+20)/5 =34.2 and the nearest price to the mean is 1.4998

Indeed. I modified that deliberately for another type of analysis. Since POC is usually visible in a balanced distribution, is not hard to point that level as key S/R. But what if the current distribution does not make a balanced curve? Thats why I use mean value of distribution & hi-low projection to point which area of the curve needs to be filled in order to make balanced distribution curve.

And the mean can be used conjunctively with higher time frame price distribution too. To be able to see which side does the value builds is heavier relative to higher time frame key s/r levels.

This is the MP Overlay, I think this is what you are looking for.
