Overview
On the last bar it finds the highest high and lowest low across the previous 200 bars, splits that range into 50 price bins, and adds each bar's volume to the bin of its close. It draws a horizontal line at each occupied price level, with length scaled to that bin's share of the largest bin. Rows, lookback, and colors are fixed in the code, and there are no trading signals or alerts.
- Fixed 50-row volume histogram
- 200-bar lookback window
- Volume assigned by closing price
- Horizontal lines scaled by relative volume
- Overlay drawn only on the last bar

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.
