Source Code
The code stays on GitHub. The author has not published this script under an open licence, so ForexR does not show its code. Copy script reads the file straight from GitHub into your clipboard, so you can still try it on your own chart. Ask the author before reusing the code anywhere else.
Overview
Volume Profile - Session divides session price ranges into discrete price levels and calculates total volume per bin to identify the Point of Control (POC), Value Area High (VAH), and Value Area Low (VAL) based on a specified percentage threshold. Users can adjust session timeframe, price level resolution, value area percentage, box drawing parameters, and color displays.

Third-party code. ForexR did not write, test or endorse this script, and the summary above was generated automatically from its code and README. Indicators describe the past, and a strategy's backtest can look better than live trading, especially when a script repaints. Check it in the Strategy Tester and on a demo account before you rely on it.
