Trader Dale - daily trading levels
{quote} Hey Ziggy! If you want to see if TradingView's Profile is pulling futures data I'm attaching a chart of todays volume profile for 6E. I'm curious to see if it is? {image}
I'm done for the week, been a good one in a number of respects, profitable, having some (paper trading) success tracking several other instruments using the same approach, finished an in depth look at past activity so far, old dog learning new tricks with tradingview - despite a frustrating start I can now get it to do what I want it to........ oh, & did I say profitable one 
Thanks Dale
Have a great w/end folks & see you all Monday Cheers Ziggy

{quote} Hi Keith, it looks to me as though it is, it says real time data and it's the rolling "contract" that I am looking at, it's certainly a different looking profile to the ones I get with either the Oanda or FXCM feed, this is how it looks 2017-01-27_1515.png;2159991 {image}
For anyone interested in a cheap way to get Futures data with a great platform (Sierra Chart) I will list the steps I took below. I used to go through Sierra Chart directly, but found a cheaper option:
1. Sign up for a Futures account at Infinity Futures (http://www.infinityfutures.com/). Minimum deposit is 3k. The minimum you can have in your account is 1k. So what I did is funded my account with 3k and then took out 1.5k which left me with $1,500 in my account. I left an extra $500 cushion for the fees to be taken from. Don't let your account dip below 1k.
2. If you don't make 10 round trip trades per month they will charge you $19.95 for the charting software (Sierra Chart) per month. Since I'm trading EUR/USD through FXCM and only using Infinity for data and charting I am paying them the $19.95 per month.
3. CME Data fee's will cost you $6.00 per month.
So the total cost comes out to $26 per month for Sierra Chart, CME Data (plus your $1,500 to keep the account open which is technically a savings account since you will not be trading that money). The monthly $26 fee will be taken out of your $1,500 account so make sure to keep an eye on it that it doesn't dip below 1k or they will freeze your account until you deposit money.

{quote} When I tested the back data I worked on the basis if not tested or touched it remained valid, the level of accuracy didn't change, so as far as I'm concerned I will trade any untested levels - having first assessed what is going on at the time Cheers Ziggy
have a great weekend

{quote} Does the PRO version (not PRO+) also have volume profile?

{quote} Hi KeithStone The rectangle that you are drawing : A)is that the indicator you get with the tool you are using ? B) AND is it the same (functionality) that we can also achieve with member 'Atif''s Post 3,763 indicator ? C) & the candles turning blue when someone trades 50 < contracts in one order , is that what you also get with (point A above) Thanks !
A - Yes, that indicator comes with Sierra Charts level 5 package. Infinity Futures only provides the level 5 package. So if you do what I explained above, you won't have to pay extra for the level 5 package. Below is an animated image on how to access it.
B - As far as drawing it, yes it's similar. Smoother in Sierra Charts IMO. If you are talking about using it on Forex Tick data then no, it's not the same. If you want pinpoint accurate levels, you need futures data. I prefer accurate levels. A 5 pip difference in levels could be the difference between a winner and loser.
C - No, it does not come with it. I downloaded the .dll from another forum. If you end up using Sierra Chart just PM me and I will send you the file.
