{quote} Hello We see the buy zone and the vWap level. vWap 1 would be the next target; buy when the price drops to the daily vWap level. This is the best way to get into the trend and reduce risk. Those who don't know the risks can buy. {image} {image}

Gold as described
Those who understand the risk can buy. VWAP 1 has been reached.
Over longer periods, one can only speculate.

Gold
You might be right about falling prices.
Asian trading had to fall first, creating ideal buying opportunities for buyers.

Hello,

I noticed that a lot of people here ask for Market Profile indicators. Although many exist in the MQL5 marketplace, the TPO indicator is hard to find as it's not a trivial task for developers.

Despite this, I wanted to focus this post only for those people who do want an indicator for Market Profile, TPO based.
I recently built a session-based TPO Market Profile indicator for MT5 because I needed it myself for Auction Market Theory analysis.

I am being transparent about this, because my indicator is not paid, it's completely free to use and can help me + those people who have the knowledge of Auction Market Theory but not the proper tool.

You can download the indicator from here: https://www.mql5.com/en/market/product/161726

If my effort came useful for you, a review would really help my newly created profile

Also, if you want to add a feature, or a bug you want to report, than you can share it here as I am active on FF.

Tick volume would also be a good fit.
Respect for your great work, it's running without any problems.
The great thing about your TPO is being able to adjust the row units, simply perfect.

Thank you kette, your words are truly appreciated.

Regarding your idea, I really do like it because not only is it clever but also would feel as if the Profile is actually complete and that extra space being utilized for tick volume makes a lot of sense.

I'm in the middle of developing it, here's a prototype:

I'm not a fan of gray, but really any other color would make the indicator feel like a rainbow more than a serious trading tool. And also I don't like the no lines on the histogram, feels more like a visual glitch than a histogram.

Anyways, I have some work to do to make it fully functional and visually appealing. Will update the forum once this new version is out.

Let me know your thoughts on this look. Also, should a hotkey be assigned for turning the volume profile on/off?

Hello amvt
This is the best solution, very clear and easy to understand.
I can only say you're fast and so perfect.
This is by far the best market profile here.
