Overview

[ad] Current Day POC / VAH / VAL builds an approximate volume profile by distributing each stored chart bar's volume across a configurable number of price rows, then marks the heaviest row and the selected value-area band. Timezone, session hours, row count, value-area percent, stored-bar limit, and labels change the profile. It does not run on daily or higher charts, and the result can differ from TradingView's built-in Volume Profile because it uses chart bars rather than finer intrabar data.
