iMarketProfile1_65

[hegh2000]

hello,

Market Profile, based on TPO (Time Price Opportunity).
This indicator includes three versions Daily, Weekly and Monthly.

parameter details:

Mode:

0 - daily
1 - Weekly
2 - Monthly

Opacity:

color depth

Profile:

True - Display profile

mode = 0 and profile = true daily with profile
mode = 1 and profile = true Weekly with profile
mode = 2 and profile = true Monthly with profile

false - only three values of VA and POC from the previous session

mode = 0 and profile = false the VA and POC from yesterday
mode = 1 and profile = false the VA and POC last week
mode = 2 and profile = false the VA and POC of the past month

SessionLengthHours:

example:

7:30 = 7.5 (note comma)

TPOCount:

if BullCount >= BearCount then green else red

rotation factor:

if > = 0 then green else red

Volume:

if Volume >= Volume AVG then green else red

POC only in daily, only CURRENTDAY:

if POC [0]> POC [1] green
if POC [0] <POC [1] red
if POC [0] == POC [1] black

for daily :

Red: First 30 minutes
Cyan: second 30 minutes
Black: last hour
green for the rest of the day

for Weekly :

Day 1 couelur red
Day 2 couelur orange
Day 3 couelur Green
Day 4 couelur pink
Day 5 couelur cyan


for Monthly :

Week 1 couelur red
Week 2 couelur orange
Week 3 couelur Green
Week 4 couelur pink
Week 5 couelur cyan

mode = 2 and profile = true (Monthly) is not recommended for use intraday

More details are on the first frame, daily.

This indicator is a evolution of MarketProfile1.2 of Sartis23, with my thanks.

1-65 for NT 6.5

************************************************** ****

iMarketProfile1_7

profile:

0: profile without text [panel 1, daily]
1: profile + text [panel 2, daily]
2: old values (yesterday, last week or last month) [panel 3 daily]
3: old values + current values [panel 4, weekly]

************************************************** *****

iMarketProfile1_65_1_1b or iMarketProfile1_7_1b

b = beta

display choices between Rectangle or Letter

2 new parameters:

RT = 0 = Rectangel (default)
RT = 1 = Letter

if RT = 1

then you have another parameter TL (Letter size) that allows you to set the font size according to the resolution of your screen;

Warning:

NT handles much better than the display rectangle Letter, which is why I have restricted this option only in the Daily (mode == 0).


************************************************** *****
iMarketProfile2_7

I remember only the changes, others are identical to previous

settings:

Mode:

0 - daily
1 - Weekly
2 - Monthly

Type :

0: profile without text
1: profile + text
2: last values (yesterday, last week or last month)
3: last values + current values

Left To Right :

true : The profile is drawn from left to right
false : The profile is drawn from right to left

Merge :

True : You must select a start date (not to exceed the number of days of history)


Colors :

you can choose the color segments of the profile, ValueArea Color, POC Color and the rest of Profile

Initial Balance :

Persistant = true : all days IB is display
Show Extention = True : IB Extention in display
for Extensions, you can choose the coefficients of each independently (double precision)


for other parameters (improves text display report):

Display = true : the text is displayed
Height: the height of the text from profile
Width: distance of text from profile

[PrTester]

Really nice work, Thanks

[Nomar]

Adrien,
Wow !!! Excellent program. Lots of code to learn from.

Only question I had was why the Ib_h & Ib_b extension (horizontal) lines don't draw on my 30M chart.

Thank You for sharing.

[fxspain]

Fantastic work. THANK YOU.

[hegh2000]

Adrien,

Thank You for sharing.

hello,

The IB form horizontal lines are traced only on the current day and if the session is open.
I traced his hand for the demonstration, you will have tomorrow in fact.

[zikonc]

hello....say I want to have a profile of an overnight session...do you mind explaining how to set up an indicator for it?......say the session starts at 22:00 and ends at 05:00 the following day........it looks like that OpenHour+OpenMinute+SessionLengthHours <= 24.......thanks

[hegh2000]

hello,

for now, we can not.
But when I some time, I'll watch.

[zikonc]

thanks.......this is still a great indicator........

[stevenrjohnson]

Excellent indicator! Thanks,
Couple of questions: what is rotation factor, TPO Count, Bear/Bull count?

Also-would it be possible to create a Volume Price indicator very similar to these? Total Volume at each price..

[hegh2000]

Excellent indicator! Thanks,
Couple of questions: what is rotation factor, TPO Count, Bear/Bull count?

Also-would it be possible to create a Volume Price indicator very similar to these? Total Volume at each price..

hi,

for TPOCount (BearC/BullC) :

Number of selling TPO's = above POC
Number of buying TPO's = below POC

for Rotation Factor :

A rotation factor is a number designed to keep track of price trends by periodes . There is an up rotation factor, a down rotation factor, the total being the sum of the two. The up (down) rotation factor is computed for a period as follows. If the high (low) is greater than the high (low) of the preceding period, add 1. If the high (low) is less than the high (low) of the preceding periods, subtract 1. If the high (low) is the same as the high (low) of the preceding period, add zero. A large positive up (down) rotation factor means there is a trend to higher highs (lows). A large negative up (down) rotation factor means there is a trend to lower highs (lows).

for last question: I believe that is possible.

[SARdynamite]

Félicitations Adrien, tu as du en baver.

This is for sure an indicator of great interest for anyone. Especially since most MP indicators are to be paid for.

Anyone to convert it for Ninja 7 ???

[subterfuge]

Since the ES opens at 2.30pm in my time zone, do I put 'open hour' as 14 and 'open minute' as 30, in the properties of the indicator?
I notice that the value high and low changes throughout the day which makes sense. However, I downloaded an indicator ages ago that put in the value area highs and lows and POC which never changed throughout the day?(i guess they were based on yesterdays information?)
thanks (new to all of this)

[hegh2000]

hello,

everything you just said is correct.
For the hour, 2:30 pm = 14:30.
For values, if profile = true, values change, as are those of today.
If profile = false, you will have the values of yesterday and those will not change.

[dj22522]

Thank you for your indicator hegh2000.
I have been trying to utilize it as per this thread.

http://www.ninjatrader-support2.com/vb/showthread.php?p=141525#post141525

It will explain how I would also prefer to get Total Volume at Price.

Many thx

[TheAnalyst13]

I wanted to ask you guys two things. Since I am pretty new to using market profile and Ninjatrader. First of all which of the indicators do you thing is more correct. iMarketproile1 or D-ValueArea. On yesterdays NQ chart the POC varies by 4 points which is a lot. Secondly do you change the opening and closing hours on your charts for the indicator or do you leave 12 am to 12 am or do you use regular trading hours only 0830-1515 CST. What opening hour and closing hour do you use to apply market profile correctly. Thank you.

[anmir55]

Hello, thank you hegh2000 for your indicator. I tried to import in NinjaTrader 7 but it's not possible, there are differents errors. Is there any version for NT 7?

Thank you

[TheAnalyst13]

Hegh2000, you are genius. Very powerful tool and works very smooth. With some other Marketprofile scripts it would slow down my quad core desktop. This one works like a charm.

[hegh2000]

Hello, thank you hegh2000 for your indicator. I tried to import in NinjaTrader 7 but it's not possible, there are differents errors. Is there any version for NT 7?

Thank you

hello,

the current version is for NT 6.5 (it does not work for NT 7).
iMarketProfile1_7 version is in testing.
It is distributed only to a few beta testers.
While all reports are not satisfactory, I could not publish it publicly.
So please wait a little longer.

Thank you

Adrien

[anmir55]

Thank you Adrien

[anmir55]

Hello again in my country ES session starts at 15:30, if I change in indicators parameters - OpenHour= 15 and OpenMinute=30 nothing appear in chart only appears if OpenHour < = 8. If I change sessions begins and ends in NT properties 15:30 - 00:00, the same nothing appears in chart. could you help me?

Thank you

Thank you

hello,

in the properties of the Chart put the start and end at 00.

[anmir55]

Hello, I'm sorry but firt I put in properties 00:00 to 00:00 and it didn't appear nothing...

Thank you

[hegh2000]

can you make a screen of settings used?

[anmir55]

Hello again, there are two screens, one with start sesion at 9 o'clock and another with 15:00.

[hegh2000]

try this :
in the properties of the Chart put the start and end at 00.
in indicateur properties, 15h30 with session lenght = 6,5.

[anmir55]

Hello, now it's ok, start at 15:30 but finish at 21:30, if I change session lenght= 6,5 to 8, it's the same and if I change session lenght= 9 or more dissapear chart.

Thank you very much

[hegh2000]

15h30 + 8, is Ok for me.

15h30 + 9 = 24h30, this is not possible.

[anmir55]

thank you very much

[kntabdguy]

Hi Adrien,

First off, thanks for this excellent indicator. Very impressive. I just uploaded this last week and I like it very much. There is an issue though that I can't figure out.

I just changed my charts for the rollover and I lose the profile. Is there an adjustment that is needed? I am assuming there is a look back feature that needs more data so it's not plotting??
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Rod

[hegh2000]

hello,

if you have enough history, there is no reason to lose the profile.
In daily, it will take just a day, for the week and month, it will be more historic.
Have you any error messages in the log ?

[kntabdguy]

Yea, here is the error log:

Error on calling the 'OnBarUpdate' method for indicator 'iMarketProfile1_65' on bar 4: iMarketProfile1_65.DrawText: startBarsAgo out of valid range 0 through 4 was 11

[hegh2000]

can you make a screen of the indicator settings and chart?

[kntabdguy]

Yea, Here they are.

[hegh2000]

I just reproduced the error (on ZN 6/10).

can you check the data before 24/02 and tell me if you have them all (the starting and end time of each session)?

[kntabdguy]

Sorry, I hate to be ignorant but, I am not sure what data you want me to check? Did you mean the market replay data in Ninja? I do have this back to 12/01/2009.

Here is a image of properties of my chart.

http://i47.tinypic.com/2iiwver.jpg

[hegh2000]

on your screen in BarChar, look at the time of the first and last bar (each session, 23/2, 22/2, etc...).

[kntabdguy]

Yea they appear to be complete. I did just exclude the weekends and on the 5 minute chart I get no errors and the profile shows. But when I change it back to a tick chart it goes away.

?????

[kntabdguy]

Not sure why but when I changed the look back from 12 days to 6 days. I eliminate the errors. Anything more than 6 days the market profile goes away.

[hegh2000]

because the data before 24/02 on ZN 6/10 are bad.
That's why I asked you to check the data before that date.

[kntabdguy]

All good now.

Thanks

[norin]

Thanks hegh2000 (http://www.ninjatrader-support2.com/vb/member.php?u=6965) for this great indicator.

I have a question.

It works great for me on futures contract (euro and US) but i can't make it work on index (^djia, ^cac, etc...).

Could somenone give me the right parameters (i've tried all the tips of this topic without success)?

Thanks. ;)

[hegh2000]

hello,

on which unit of time you want to use it?

[norin]

I use it on 30 min timeframe.

[hegh2000]

How many days in history you have on the chart ?

(^cac) These codes correspond to what Broker?

[norin]

60 days in the data serie.

And ^Cac ^DJIA, etc... is the name used by Interactive Brokers (my broker) for indexes.

[hegh2000]

can you try on 15 or 30 days?

[PatientTrader]

Thanks Adrien for the mp indicator. Will this also work in ninja 7? I tried to import into nt7,but was getting an import error.

Thanks
PatientTrader

[hegh2000]

[PatientTrader]

Thanks Adrien.

Patienttrader

[norin]

So I Have tried 15 and 30 days, try to change open hour and minutes, session length, etc...

No result... :confused:

It works like a charm on futures and currencies, but not on indexes...

I have attached a file of the result (it seems to draw something in the beginning of the chart, and stops...)

[hegh2000]

hi,
What are your begin and end time in the chart settings?

[norin]

00 and 00

I have tried 15:30 and 22:00 and it dosoen't work either.

[hegh2000]

I do not understand why this does not work.
In addition, you say it works on all the future.

[norin]

Yes, great on futures and currencies.

On indexes, i get this message in the log:

05/03/2010 14:45:13|3|4|Error on calling the 'OnBarUpdate' method for indicator 'iMarketProfile1_65' on bar 13: L'index se trouve en dehors des limites du tableau.

But no problem if you don't understand why. Your indic is still great and helps me a lot.

Thank you for your time and kindness. ;):)

[winJR]

I would just like to make a request. A couple of questions were asked in post #16 that were never answered. I had the same questions. Perhaps the answer is not easy or would take too much room to post here. If someone is brave enough, maybe they can answer it in a word document and attach the answer here if its too long to post. Thank you very much in advance for all the traders working together. You all rock!!

[TheAnalyst13]

I agree it would be great. This might be also too simple that nobody bothered answering it. Like I said I'm very new to Market Profile and Ninjatrader.

Here is the question:

Do you change the opening and closing hours on your charts properties for the indicator or do you leave 12 am to 12 am. Or do you use regular trading hours only 0830-1515 CST for the indicator settings? What opening hour and closing hour do you use to apply market profile correctly. Thank you.

[hegh2000]

hello,

I read all the posts, but I did not answer all questions.
For hours, I suppose you trading the U.S. market. I trade only the European market hours from Paris to know 8h-22h.
All my graph are configured for hourly europpéens.
Regarding differences between the 2 indicators, I do not know, I only use this one.

[TheAnalyst13]

thank you, I love what you have done.

Happy trading to all.

[DaveS]

norin.

I know that at least some Indexes do not report Volume. Volume data is necessary for this indicator.
Try placing the native NinjaTrader indicator 'VOL' on your Index chart, if the Index reports Volume you will see it as a histogram.

[hegh2000]

hello,

thank you for the suggestion, but remember that this indicator is based on the price not volume.
In the picture below, a copy I submitted to a Friend (beta tester), this is a test version for the indices.
You notice that the index generates as much of TPO in one day that his future in a month.
Does this solution is viable or usable in Intraday, I ask myself.

[DaveS]

Sorry Adrien.
I did not analyse the code, just found Volume in several Methods starting at line 390 and wrongly assumed it to be important.
By the way, thanks for a realy excellent indicator.

While I'm here, has anybody been in the JPJ Trading room? Any opinions?

[norin]

Thanks everybody for the help you provide.

If it's too heavy on the indice, i will live with futures and forex (it's, by the way, what i trade).

And perhaps with NT7 supporting multicore, such cpu intensive indicators will be easier to put on many charts at a time.

;)

[winJR]

Very nice indicator...very nice. I am learing about Market Profile. Can someone explain to me the color significance of the profile as its building intraday. There is red, cyan, green, and black . Thanks.

[DaveS]

winJR.
If you go back to the first post in this thread, hegh2000 has expained the colors and a lot more. Look also at the first chart displayed there.
I also am trying to learn about MP and would like to hear of any educational recources.

[winJR]

I thought I had looked at first post, missed it. I have looked it over and Heigh, what an awesome job. I do have a question, for a newbie here with Market profile. The VA_h is the value area high and the VA_b is the value area low, correct? so that is telling us that 70% of the trades have taken place btwn these two values, am I correct? What is the significance of the IB_h and IB_b lines plotted for the current session? thanks in advance. I read through whole thread, hope i didnt miss the answer to that one as well. lol.

[hegh2000]

hello,

IB = Initial balance or the first hour of trading

exe.
if the market opens at 8:00, IB_h and IB_b are the lowest and the highest reached between 8:00 to 9:00.

[winJR]

Thanks much.

[winJR]

If i set the mode to 1 to get a weekly MP, do I need to the hours to? as far as start time goes and also what do i need to set the sessionlengthhours to? thanks in advance amigo!

[hegh2000]

hi,

whatever the mode, the start time and sessionlengthhours must be informed .

[mtfalk64]

I am not a programmer and hope that there is someone that can add additional items to this wonderful indicator. What I was looking for is a plotted line that is calulated from the first 30 minutes of the open to give the size of the range + 50% and 100% of that value. Example: if the market profile gives in the first 30 minutes of opening a range from 1100 to 1106 then a plotted line at 1109, 1112 for the high side, 1097, 1094 for the low side. This would not change after the first 30 minutes of trading. Can anyone help or if you don't understand at least ask. Also is there a way to hve the POC blocks a different color then the rest of the MP instead of the little arrow?

The PIC will give you all an idea what I am talking about. This is such a great indicator and I do want to thank everyone for helping in this forum.

Thanks
Mike

[hegh2000]

hello

for the first, you do not have to change the indicator.
Create another rather like SimpleGetHighLow for a specific time, then modify it by adding lines as you want.

For the second, by cons, it would modify the indicator itself.
I give you 2 examples with syntax and where you need to insert it, then you choose.

line 944 :

DrawLine("tag1"+ compteur, false, CurrentBar - BarCount, TPOPrice, CurrentBar - BarCount - TPOHigh, TPOPrice, Color.Yellow, DashStyle.Solid, 2);

or

DrawRectangle("tag1"+ compteur, false, CurrentBar - BarCount, TPOPrice, CurrentBar - BarCount - TPOHigh, TPOPrice+TickSize, Color.Yellow, Color.Yellow, 2);

[mtfalk64]

Thanks Hegh200, but I have no idea what to do with that in the first place. Thanks you anyways for giving some direction.


Mike

[aviat72]

I did a quick port for NT7. All I did was change some of the WriteText commands. I am not sure whether it is supposed to be working the way it should but at least it is a start.

I am attaching a chart showing the weekly profile and the files with the few edits I made to make it compile in NT7Beta

I am not sure I understand the meaning of the colors here but this certainly is a great start.

[mtfalk64]

The colors are each day of the week. Mon is orange, Tues is Green. These two colors are just a example of the different colors but do two charts on a weekly and one a daily and squeeze the daily one together a little and look on the weekly and you will see.

Hi heg2000 bonsoir :)

As mtfalk64 in his post mentioned see attached picture, is it possible to implement the IB50% an IB100% lines in the indicator? These lines are very important for finding trading descisions. I missed it in your excellent indicator.
Thanks

hi,

try this.

[mtfalk64]

Hegh2000,
I take it that the lines for the high and low IB will only print on the current day. and the past days are erased? Would it be a problem to have it keep the prior days as this is also one area that if we have two high double IB would be a strong possible reversal. Again thank you for helping us out and taking time out of your day for this.


Oh boy this does look sweet. Nice work Hegh2000

[belecona]

Hi Adrien

Big Big Thank You for sharing your MP indicator with us. I will attend a MP webinar next Sun and am extremely thrilled to uncover your thread today.

Let's hope that I will learn how to benefit from your Amazing master piece in days. Else I will certainly knock at your door for sos and guidance. Thank you.

Beth :)

[trader1512]

has anyone tested this with version 7? i cannot get it to import.

[aviat72]

Hi Hegh:

(1) Reuse the NT7 compatible file attached
I am attaching a version of the file which also works on NT7. This has the latest IB persistance and 50-100% extension stuff. Could you please use this file as the starting point for future changes. All my changes are in an #if NT7 block and just change the DrawText Functions.

I have renamed this fileas iMarketProfile_65_7_1_1 (1_1 being 1.1 for the new functionality you just added) instead of using 1/Test etc. to maintain better version tracking.


(2)
Is it possible to write some export functions to get real-time values for different statistics you plot?

For eg:

GetIBHigh(int daysAgo)
GetIBLow(int daysAgo)
GetRotationFactor(int daysAgo)
GetBullishTPOCount(int daysAgo)
GetBearishTPOCount(int daysAgo)
GetPOC(int daysAgo)
GetVAH(int daysAgo)
GetVAL(int daysAgo)

with daysAgo set to zero for current trading day.

You will have to maintain an Array variable (not DataSeries) for every day you calculate the statistics for, and return the values from that Array.

[hegh2000]

hi aviat72,

thank for the contribution,

I posted iMarketProfile1_7 (for NT 7) soon.
I just need a little more time to finalize, it changes compared to version 6.5.
For now I have some problems with one of my PC, I have crashes, I do not know if it's NT 7 or Windows 7 64 bits that causes me problems.
But we'll have them.

[winJR]

Love the indicator and do so much appreciate all the continued hard work in improving such a great indicator. I would like to add my requests for future improvements. One would be to have the POC continue to chart show as long as it remains a naked poc. Once touched then it disappear.
thanks.

[Serninja]

Hello hegh2000,

thank you very much for your indicator!

My MarketProfile isn't plotting the upper blue IB_h correctly, since it's one tick below. Please take a look at the chart.

Thanks again and

hello

value and the plot are both correct.

Why?

To view the profile, I use the DrawRectangle. For this I must give a starting point (the exact value) and an end point (the value + TickSize).
That's why you feel that the rectangle is not in front of the value.

[hegh2000]

hello

I added iMarketProfile1_7 (for NT 7) in the first post.
Please read the relevant part for the profile parameter is numeric in this version.

[trader1512]

sorry, i may not be doing something right but i cannot get anything out of the NT7 version. i put the cs file into my indicators folder, recompiled and then loaded it on a new chart.

nothing is coming up.

any help would be appreciated.:mad:

[hegh2000]

did you try to import .zip file ?

[trader1512]

where might i find the zip file. i have checked on the indicator forum and it was not there.

[hegh2000]

in the first post of this thread, you do not see the indicator iMarketProfile1_7 ?

[trader1512]

the zip file does not import and the cs file does not show up. the import fails with the infamous Ninja message,the ninjascript archive file may contain duplicate method names that already exist on your pc or there is a required file missing on either your pc or in the import archive

[hegh2000]

I just delete and import the one I posted.
I have no error message.
Which one do you imported ?

[playafh69]

is it possible to have the indicator plotted on the right side, also if you can change its width so that it doesn't overlap the candles on the chart?
Thanks again for this great indicator

[hegh2000]

hi,

if you put the profile on right side, it will hide the bars. In addition, in all representations of MarketProfile, the profile is from left to right .
In version 7, I changed the display, the edge of rectangels are no longer drawn, only the Background, which, by changing the Transparency, no longer hide the Bars.

[playafh69]

its true, most market profile charts are drawn from left to right, but I wanted the profile for that days session only, and its much cleaner when its on the right side. Thought it might be possible..... Here's what im talking about... its much cleaner when you can see where price is building volume when its right next to it. and you can just create the margin offset in the chart properties to be higher so it won't block it...
Doable?

Hi, I would love to see this indicator attached to the side of the chart instead of a time line in the chart.

When using a smaller time frame or a different chart type, Indicator disappears off the left side of chart. :confused:

I looked at the code, and looked, and looked...

A little beyond me!!!

hello

there are limitations in the instructions DrawRectangle used by NT.
But I'll watch, if I find a solution, I'll let you know.

I do not know what type of message.
This does not like error message import of Nt.

[NinjaTrader_Josh]

willi9723,

Please be sure you are on NT7B14 as the zip utility has changed and requires the latest version.

[hegh2000]

the indicator has been generated in beta 14

[willi9723]

ok, let me try... thanks

[willi9723]

Done! thank you guys.

[PandaTrader]

Hegh2000, have you thought about adding in your code VTPOs/ Volume Profiles? It would be great, if it is not to hard to add to the code?

Thanks for the great work with all your indicators.

[hegh2000]

hello

This indicator is based on the price. So, no, I do not think the change to add VTPO.
For in this case, the whole algorithm must change.

[psudan]

Should the file work with NT7B16? Trying to import it but getting errors!

[NinjaTrader_Josh]

Please post the exact error message you see. Please first try to compile your NinjaScript before importing too. Can you compile successfully?

Hegh2000, I took the liberty to change your code partially to give color to the 30 brackets
If anyone is interested let me know and I will post it. (on as is basis only - I am by no means a coder)

Hegh, is it very difficult to make your code real-time?

Thanks very much for sharing your code with the community, if you are around Amsterdam, get in touch and I buy you a drink.

[hegh2000]

hi,

But everything depends on the load on your system too.

for the three lines POC VAh and VAB, there was never a line.
So it's normal that you do not.

How can I make the lines to display in the chart. This will help me to follow the price action changes in the intraday ( 8:30- 3:15 PM CST) trading time.

[hegh2000]

line 522 (just after drawLine (VAL),
add these three lines:

DrawLine("lVAh" + compteur, true, CurrentBar - BarCount, TPOHighZone, CurrentBar - BarCount - TPOHigh, TPOHighZone, Color.Green, DashStyle.Solid, 1);
DrawLine("lVAb" + compteur, true, CurrentBar - BarCount, TPOLowZone, CurrentBar - BarCount - TPOHigh, TPOLowZone, Color.HotPink, DashStyle.Solid, 1);
DrawLine("lPOC" + compteur, true, CurrentBar - BarCount, TPOPrice, CurrentBar - BarCount - TPOHigh, TPOPrice, Color.Red, DashStyle.Solid, 1);

[moncar]

Thank you hegh2000. One last favor, can you make the changes to the indicator? because I do not have any experience in modifying indicators o program. Thank you

[hegh2000]

************************************************** ******

iMarketProfile1_65_1_1b or iMarketProfile1_7_1b

b = beta

display choices between Rectangle or Letter

2 new parameters:

RT = 0 = Rectangel (default)
RT = 1 = Letter

if RT = 1

then you have another parameter TL (Letter size) that allows you to set the font size according to the resolution of your screen;

Warning:

NT handles much better than the display rectangle Letter, which is why I have restricted this option only in the Daily (mode == 0).

begin with the letters "A" to "Z", everything is beyond "a"

Each letter represents a half-hour of trading, whatever your chosen time unit

[jedigeneral]

This MP is bangin'! Sooo cool!

Just one request or question more likely. I load it on the fesx in NT7, which for me starts at hour:18, minute:00 my time. So the session goes over the midnight hour. If I enter anything over 5.59 for session length, nothing shows up? As soon as I press OK, it simply shows the chart instantly (ie no time for any calculations). But 5.59 (being one minute before midnight - 23.59), it calculates and gives me a beautiful profile.

OK this could be me setting it up wrong.

Any ideas?

[Blackadder]

Nice work

:D

[Blackadder]

The Imarket profile indicator needs a setting for number of ticks per Letter.

When u look at a contract like CL , with a very small tick size and a lot of movement , u need to have more than 1 tick per price level to be able to wiev it properly.

othervise it is super!

:cool:

[Insearch]

Hi,

say I wanted to break up certain sections of an intraday session and have individual market profiles for each sub section, is that possible with this? The sections are not standard, I'd pick them depending on the session, ie, the sub-sections for today are not necessarily the same ones for tomorrow, etc . . .

If not, does anyone know of any other indicator on this forum that can perform that task? And secondly, would that work with a Zenfire feed?

[andycph]

I'd like to know if this is possible too. Thanks.

Hi, I downloaded and installed the indicator (both versions 6.5 and 7 on 2 different computers) but cannot make it work right.

I understand this is supposed to display TPOs as letters (from the picture in this forum) but what I am getting is only a color plot. Please see attached screenshot for v6.5 with the settings displayed, it is the same for v7. What am I doing wrong?

If somebody could post a screenshot of the TPO/letters format with the standard settings displayed, would much appreciate it.
Thanks

Are iMarketProfile1_7 and iMarketProfile1_71b work with NT7 beta 22 ?
I get error message when I try to compile them.

[hegh2000]

hi,

yes, it works for any version greater than b 20.
What is your error message?

[Allen]

Thank you for your respond, Now , no error message.
I just wonder what is the different between iMarketProfile1_7 and iMarketProfile1_71b .

Thanks again.

[Allen]

My MP open hour is 8 am and open minute is 30 and I am in US central time which is already set correctly. My question is why MP operate until like 12:30 pm and not till market close which is 3:15 pm.
Please look at the attachment.

[ricochet]

Can not get iMarketProfile1_7_1b to import on beta 22. It worked fine on previous versions.

Get an error of "Import failed. The NT Script Archive file may contain duplicate method names that already exist on your PC or there is a required file missing on either your PC or in the import archive." I have no other MP type indicators imported.

Deleted previous version of NT before installing v22. All other indicators install properly. NT Support tried it also and got same error message and referred me back to the author.

Any ideas?

BTW very nice programming.

[hegh2000]

hi,

Allen,

what's your sessionLengthHours ?

ricochet,

Normally, the version b 21 should work with b 22.
Unless there has been a change I do not know.
I uploaded the same version, but compiled with b 22, try again this compilation.

[Allen]

SessionLengthHours is set for 14
See attachment please.

[Allen]

Hi, ricochet,
I had same problem but not anymore.
I first copied NT7 beta 21 to another directory or (for your case maybe somewhere else) and then uninstalled it and installed a new NT7 beta 22 then I copied any custom made indicator, strategy or workspace from NT7 beta 21 in to NT7 beta 22 and make sure you compile the indicator, strategy.
If you don't first copy NT7 beta 21 and install new NT7 b 22, you are going to lose all data.

hegh2000,

I could not compile it as it gave that error message immediately. Found that on this pc Windows is blocking certain file types within a zip file. Was able to import the indy on a different pc fine, so just copied those .cs files over to this pc and compiled them without error. Tested and it works fine.

Allen, thx for the suggestion, see above for my fix.

[hegh2000]

hi,

Allen,

Did you try 7 as sessionLengthHours?

8h30(start) + 7 (sessionLengthHours) = 15h30 (end)

[Allen]

Yes I did but still same problem, in fact I tried all the hours (numbers) but no luck.

[hegh2000]

You can post a chart with 15 days of history?

[Allen]

You can post a chart with 15 days of history?

I did that, I had chart history from 5 to 20 days and didn't work.

[hegh2000]

do as many as you can.

I think (after looking at the screen) there is no problem.
But I would check.

When I try to compile "iMarketProfile1_65_1b.cs", I get the errors:

'NinjaTrader.Data.Bars' does not contain a definition for 'GetSessionDate' and no extension method 'GetSessionDate' accepting a first argument of type 'NinjaTrader.Data.Bars' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) x 2

Appreciate any help.

[NinjaTrader_RyanM]

Brooksrimes,

Please make sure you are importing the correct version. 6.5b should be for 6.5. You can use the File > Utilities > Import ninjaScript feature to import the zip file directly.

[brooksrimes]

Ryan,

The file I got is ...1b. That should be the correct one, right?

I couldn't get the import function to read the zip file. So I unzipped the *.cs file, moved it to the indicator directory and then used the Edit function to load it and tried to compile.

Hello,

Also if you cant import the indicator most likely it needs corrections by the indicator developer to import correctly. Moving the file in manually will not resolve the issue.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

[ckait]

Nice work on the profile. If i want to plot a 24 hour profile say from 6:30 am pst to 6:30 am pst is that possible? I want to plot the weekly but have all hours accounted for .

[hegh2000]

hello,

if SessionBreak is between, not.
For a weekly profile, use mode = 1.

[ckait]

Im using mode 1 for weekly but when i try to make the session length more than 14 it doesnt plot could you maybe post a screen shorof the settings to get a 24 hour weekly profile ? Im not finding where the session break option is.

[hegh2000]

there is no option for SessionBreak.
I was talking about SessionBreak of the instrument (for ES is midnight to FESX is 8:00).
You can exceed 14 hours of Length, provided they do not exceed the time SessionBreak, (8+14 = 22, OK, 20 + 14, No. Ok).

[ckait]

unfortunately im still not understanding. is there a way to tell it to plot from 12 to 12 and use the default 24/7 option ? a picture is worth a thousand words.

[djkiwi]

Hi hegh2000

Firstly, thanks for a great indicator. Have been looking around for something like this for some time so great someone has provided it. I have been grappling with an issue though. For some reasons the profile is missing every second letter, starting with A, C, E, G etc. I am using ninja 7 and using 6.30 as starting time and using 6.5 hours. Doesn't matter which time frame I use it is still the same problem. (Picture attached). Wondering if you had seen this issue before? Thanks. DJ

[hegh2000]

hi,

non, i did not notice that, thks.
can you try this and tell me if it's ok.

Nt 7 RC1 .

[djkiwi]

Hi hegh2000, thanks very much for the fast response. This has fixed the problem, but seems to have created another one at the same time. I now have those letters but it does not complete the entire day. Please see attached picture which shows the letters stopping at L or M and stopping about 10.30 or 11.00 am. I have set the start for 6.30 and duration of 6.5 hours. I am using the very latest ninja 7 version. I know the ninja guys changed some time functions in the most recent version.

Thanks. DJ

[ckait]

what about the ability to generate a 24 hour profile can you explin hoe to do that or show a screen shot of the propper settings?

[djkiwi]

Hi hegh2000, the profile is working correctly after all. I misinterpreted the chart. Again thanks for the useful indicator.

Cheers
DJ

[djkiwi]

Hi hegh2000

I'm trying to create the 50% IB high and Low in Ninja 7 that you outlined earlier for 6.5. I tried to copy the draw rectangle command in the code but got an error. Line 944 has changed so not sure where it would go now. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks. DJ


hello

for the first, you do not have to change the indicator.
Create another rather like SimpleGetHighLow for a specific time, then modify it by adding lines as you want.

For the second, by cons, it would modify the indicator itself.
I give you 2 examples with syntax and where you need to insert it, then you choose.

line 944 :

DrawLine("tag1"+ compteur, false, CurrentBar - BarCount, TPOPrice, CurrentBar - BarCount - TPOHigh, TPOPrice, Color.Yellow, DashStyle.Solid, 2);

or

DrawRectangle("tag1"+ compteur, false, CurrentBar - BarCount, TPOPrice, CurrentBar - BarCount - TPOHigh, TPOPrice+TickSize, Color.Yellow, Color.Yellow, 2);

[hegh2000]

No. # 83, I posted a version of IB extensions (for NT 6.5).
This may give you ideas.

My apologies, but another question....

I have the 7.0 version from Hegh installed and working. However, when set to update on bar close as False, it pretty much brings my computer to a halt. CPU usage is around 60%, if on True, it drops to 10%. Is this normal?

[djkiwi]

Hi Cool, well you need a pretty grunty pc to use onbarupdate false. I used to run 2 x P2 dual core computers that used to max out and ninja used to crash often, now run a very grunty quadcore computer with no problems. Cheers.DJ

[arorts]

Hi hegh2000,

Thanks a lot for your awesome job.
I'm trying to plot a stock and have a couple of questions:

a) Should I use the time of the stock exchange it trades (i.e. AAPL would trade in NYSE @ 9:30 or should I use my local zone time in the Pacific Time Zone: 6:30 )?

b) The TPO letters seem extremely busy/compressed and they render unreadable even if I don't use candlestick but regular bars. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong but no matter what letter size I use, it displays as the attached image.

Thanks for your feedback!!

[hegh2000]

hi,

LocalTime is always being used.
For Letter Size adjusts the size of the letters.
The V2 offers more possibilities than the V1 (the one you are currently using).

[sam777]

hegh2000,

For Ver. 7 - Can u please tell me which is the latest version of market profile to download and explanation (write-up) I am very familiar with profile and when I saw the very first post, I got a very good idea of what it does and it is excellent as I have used one from fin-alg.


Thx Sam

[hegh2000]

Package_7 containing:

iMarketProfile1_7
iMarketProfile2_7

the latest is :

iMarketProfile2_7

for explanations, you will find the first post

[sam777]

Hi hegh2000,

Thx and I downloaded the indicator and played with the parameters. I plotted ES chart and issues as follows:

With Daily and as follows:



With Mode=0 and Type = 1, the POC,VaH, VaL - for current day (friday in this case) is closer to the Thursday's Profile and Thursday's same closer to Wednesday's.......This causes confusion with the display. Can we offset the text so that it is to the right of the profile? I tried under Settings:POC & VA text with Width = 0 (current). I tried putting numbers but didn't work. What are we supposed to do with Width parameter if that is what takes care of the issue?
In Type=1, is it possible to have lines drawn along with the text to the right of the profile for POC, VaH and VaL?
With Mode=0 and Type=3, it works great but loose profile. However, lines and text are aligned to the right.
IB Extensions: Persistent (says all IB extension days) = True draws all IB and False = Current Day. I tried False but wouldn't draw IB Extensions for current day. In other words False doesn't work only TRUE works and draws current and previous days IB Extensions.Is there a way to just have IB Extensions for the current day as extensions for previous days just adds lot of clutter.
Extension Multiplier 1-4. What do these relate to 50%, 100%, 150%, 200% or some other percentages. I remember some where in the posts reading these percentages but couldn't locate that post. Would be nice if u add that to post #1. It says one can change the multipliers - so if 250% would that be multiplier 2.5 as an example?
I also see some numbers just above the profile - 5 (Friday), 1 (Thursday), 11 (Wednesday) - what do they represent? Are these Rotation Factor numbers and how are these numbers to be read? ie 5, 1, 11 in this example?
The bull/bear count at the top within brackets is fine. The number outside the bracket is that the total TPO count. In Friday's case we have 209(123/64)?.
In the profile itself (colors) POC = Red - I see a wide horizontal bar ie instead of one price, I see it over few ticks almost 4 ticks on Friday. Likewise, Thursday.
Volume numbers at the bottom -- there are two. Which one is which?


Now with 2 profiles and as follows:



I plotted 2 profiles on the same chart (obviously with different colors) - weekly and daily. The numbers really get very confusing to decipher due to the way they are displayed. Also, unable to change the colors/size of the numbers and be able to distinguish that way as in Daily.
Likewise, plotted monthly and weekly on the same chart and same issues as in Daily.


Please excuse me, if I have asked redundant questions as today is my very first time with this indicator and may not have fully understood the parameters - did what I understood based on the explanation of the parameters.

I like the indicator functionality wise and just needs more refinement cosmetically

Thx Sam

[hegh2000]

hi,

with a screen, I'll understand better.

for profile:

Left to Right = text appears to the left
Right to Left = text appears on the right

for Number:

Factor rotation

For IB:

if Persistent = false

normal CurrentDay has no meaning on Saturday or Sunday, try today

Hegh2000, Thx for the reply. Refer my post #202

1. I tried under Settings:POC & VA text with Width = 0 (current). I tried putting numbers but didn't work. What should I put for Width parameter?

2. Is it possible to have lines drawn along with the text to the right of the profile for POC, VaH and VaL? It helps with Candlestick chart with lines across the chart like IB Extension.

3. Extension Multiplier 1-4. What do these relate to 50%, 100%, 150%, 200% or some other percentages.

4. Rotation Factor numbers how to interpret the numbers - ex. say 12 v/s 7 ........

5. In the profile POC = Red - I see a wide horizontal bar few ticks wide instead of one price. Ex ES today has POC = 1264, however, the profile shows RED over 4 ticks (green/red/orange profile)

6. Volume numbers at the bottom -- there are two. Which one is which?

You can try as attaching image doesn't make much sense. Just try the parameters I have indicated and you will see.

Thx Sam

[hegh2000]

Width parameter lets you adjust the distance of text from the profile, it can not move the text of another side of the profile.

lines for the moment not.

For extensions, I left the choice to users.

for volume, left volume avg, right, current volume

hi,

LocalTime is always being used.
For Letter Size adjusts the size of the letters.
The V2 offers more possibilities than the V1 (the one you are currently using).

Hello:

I played around with the settings of Profile version 2_7 to make it work and I noticed the following:

a) That the profile colors run all the way down beyond low of the day
b) If I just switch to a different stock with a higher price, the profile gets corrected but the letters become unreadable no matter what font size I use, in the attached file I increased the font size since to various sizes but it always looked like a black bar..


Please see attached images...any thoughts?

Thank you,

[hegh2000]

hi,

given the large number of TPO, it is very difficult to obtain letters correctly visible, you can try one or two profiles, but I'm not sure.

By cons, for the colors, there's a real problem.
Unfortunately, I can not reproduce the same.
Look in Session Manager, see the schedule of the instrument.

Hello -

Am I missing something here? Is there supposed to be a file to download with the indicators? I can't seem to find a link here or on Big Mike.

Thanks,
Dave

[hegh2000]

hi arorts,

can you test it and tell me if this version fixes your problem ?

Thank you very much Hegh2000, for the link to the indicators.

hegh2000,

Can u let me know how to email the writer of dvaluearea indicator? May be u can answer or forward to the dvaluearea guy. Question is - can he have the developing dynamically show as the day progresses the POC, VaH and VaL? It only shows as horizontal lines (3) as day progresses without showing the curve dynamically as the day progresses.

Thx Sam

[arorts]

hi arorts,

Hello hegh200,

Great improvement! I think the color bleed disappeared. However, I'd like to let you know my following observations:

a) The various data points don't seem to show in the Data Box even when the 'Display Data in Data box' variable is set to 'True'. (They always show 'N/A') as I mouse over any market profile bar.

b) The TPO letters still show unreadable. Note: this occurs even if I increase the font size to 10, 20, etc.Doesn't seem to matter. It just shows a larger black bar...

Please note that the letter issue happens only on certain stocks: with 'C' stock the letters show correctly but with 'AAPL' stock they don't. I think this is perhaps related to the price scale of the stock. However, both stocks trade the same exact market hours and should have the same exact number of letters in any given trading session so not sure how to prevent this issue.

c) It doesn't show the POC, Value area high and value area low Plots :the horizontal lines that should show next to each profile. I enabled them in the 'Plots' menu but they don't show even if I increase the line width.


(See attached screenshot).

Hope this helps.

Thanks a lot!

Best,
arorts

[hegh2000]

hi,

As I said in my previous post, on some instruments, there is a lot too TPO. Letters will be unusable because they are too close.
For Values in Data-Box, norrmal, they are not shown in Type = 1.

I see. What about the missing horizontal lines of the item C) I described previously? :
"It doesn't seem to show the POC, Value area high and value area low Plots: the horizontal lines that should show next to each profile. I enabled them in the 'Plots' menu but they don't show even if I increase the line width."

Another thing you might want to consider for the weekly profile, instead of showing a different color for each day, it could show the same color family but using different gradients. For example, dark red might indicate Monday as the oldest day, then gradually transition to light red then to orange and then yellow. That way it'd probably be easier to follow than having a completely different color for each day of the week...

Just some thoughts...

Thanks!!

what im doing wrong ?
plz help

[hegh2000]

hi,

have you tried V2 (iMarketProfile2_7) ?

[mercury]

Hello,
hegh2000

"tried iMP2_7 but NT used to crash,"

but got it working now, Changed Tick size from 0.05 to 0.5..
however im still not getting TPOs, even after changing Tick Size to 5.
generally daily change in NIFTYF1(index future India) is 1% or above ..tick size increment is 0.05..so do we need any changes in code.
charts attached...

Thanks n Regards,

hegh2000,

Settings - TYPE

IB extensions do not plot unless TYPE = 1.TYPE = 2 and 3 it doesn't draw IB's at all.

TYPE = 1. It shows the VAH, VAL and POC as text and profile painted with colors. TYPE = 2 and 3, it draws lines across for VAH, VAL & POC with text but now doesn't paint the profile with colors and is lost visually.



It would be great to have as in TYPE = 1 with all IB's shown (profile painted with colors) and with VAH, VAL and POC as in TYPE = 2 and 3 - lines with text drawn across the profile. This would make it a great tool.
Also, intraday as profile levels are calculated ie Developing Market Profile, we can have levels drawn as lines with text across the profile (painted with colors). If it shows the real time curve (levels VAH, VAL, POC) as it develops instead of just one horizontal line for each, it will be truly excellent.

The dvaluearea indicator does the draw the VAH, VaL and POC as lines across the profile with text, however, doesn't draw the IB extensions which is excellent with the I_MarketProfile.

The dvaluearea indicator does draw the Developing Profile but doesn't dynamically show the VAH, VAL and POC as the curve develops - just shows horizontal lines av VAH, VAL and POC and that doesn't indicate how the trail - actual levels are moving intraday.

So with features as in # 1 and # 2 above (in bold) incorporated in I_MarketProfile, it will be an excellent tool. At least I am hoping that we can get # 1 incorporated.

Thanks Sam

I do not think that the indicator of the cause, but NT.
You can ask one of the Nt administrator if there have been major changes between 7.0.0.20 and Nt NT 7.0.1000.4.

Have you tried to put the .cs file in the NT indicator directory and compile ?

this indicator has been compiled under NT 7.0.1000.4.
Certainly there are instructions that have changed since version 7.0.20.
Unfortunately, I can not go back to a previous version (beta version).

Hegh please tell me about volume.how is volume and average volume calculated and for what period ?
Also tell me how can I merge data from ,say 1April to 10 April and another merge from 20 april to 26 April I want to exclude period from 11 to 19 April and current day from merging
regards

[hegh2000]

hi,

Average Volume = Total Volume / Session count

for merge :

from Date to Current Day

you can't exclude Current Day

NT dose not recognize "." point
you must use "," comma
so

0.5 = 0,5

I get following messsage

0,5 is not a valid value for Double.

Just use 0.5. Hegh2000 is in France, so his computer is probably using French regional settings. A fractional value in US or any English regional settings is delineated by a period, not a comma.

hello, anyone here can help in plotting imarketprofile2_7 indicator on ES.
Today i got tick data from mirus future, n i don't know anything about it as i never traded it. its kind of complete unknown thing to me.
im on NT 7.0.1000.5, imarket profile works well on NiftyFuture, Indian index future.
plz someone help setign me up ES Mp charts.

[jasterm]

First off, thanks SO much for this indicator! It's simply amazing!

1) as far as session times on the ES, I'm trying to get the indicator to plot from 4:30pm EST, to 4:15pmEST the following day. I've set the following below parameters, but nothing seems to plot. Times based on the PIT sessions work fine. Am I doing something wrong?

Open Hour = 16
Open Minute = 30
Session Length Hours = 24

2) For some reason, the IB lines aren't being drawn on my 9:30am - 4:15pm chart session. Settings are below:

Settings: Initial Balance
Persistant = False
Show Extention = False
Ex. Multiplier 1-4 = 1-4

3) Is there a way to plot separate lines/markers for single standard deviations from the POC? I'm not a programmer, but based on the information we have, it would be a great addition, I think... Just wondering if there were plans to include this, and/or if this is something easily done w/ the configurations already listed.

Thanks again for not only your work, but also your support!

Hi, I just tried to import v2_7 into NT . . . I'm using NT7 v7.0.0.19

Previously I was using NT6.5 and had been using the iMarketProfile1_65

I get the following error message in importing iMarketProfile2_7:

"Import failed. The NinjaScript Archive file may contain duplicate method names that already exist on your PC or there is a required file missing on either your PC or in the import archive"

Can anyone help? Thx

[lasolas]

I am using it ok. When that message comes up it asks you do you want to replace them. Just click yes.
I think you should be using the latest version of NT7 bye the way. This is a great free indicator. One of the best.
PS. I am no expert.
