Hello great programmers of Forex Factory!
I would like to ask if anyone will be kind enough to make a little changes to an existing indicator for me. I believe it should not be too difficult or complicated, I just have zero programming skills, so I'm in need of some help. I hope this will be a quick and easy enough request for someone to do for me.
It's the market profile indicator, attached below. It works quite well as it is. I just would like to have the ability to set a date range, so that I can look back in the past at a chosen set of dates. Or even to pick a single day in the past to look at the market profile for that day. For example, I might want to see daily market profiles from Jan 12 thru Jan 16, 2011. The way it is now, I have to set the day count = counting from today backward to the desired day(s), which means I would need over 300 daily profiles plotted on my chart. That's a lot of data and it tends to freeze up the platform and clutter the chart up really badly.
(Edited: To be clear, I would like it to show market profiles for each individual day within the chosen date range, and not a cumulative profile of all the days combined into one profile.)
Also, another little thing I would like is for each daily profile to show the point of control (price at which transactions took place for a given day) to show as numeric number somewhere. Currently the POC price is showing as a dotted line, which is fine and I would like to keep. But the line can sometimes shift around (sometimes by a significant amount) when scrolling the chart, or changing timeframes. I just think displaying it as a numeric number too will help to give an extra confirmation.
I would be really grateful if someone can help me out with this. It would really help me tremendously in my trading. Thank you so much in advance for any charitable programmer that might take this up.
