The Preferences

  • Buy Volume - displays the volume that occurred at the ask price at each price.  It is cumulative for the entire row.
  • Sell Volume - displays the volume that occurred on the bid price at each price. It is cumulative for the entire row.
  • Volume - displays the total volume that occurred at each price. It is cumulative for the entire row.
  • Buy Volume Percent - displays the volume that occurred at the ask price at each price and displays it in the percentage form of total volume.  It is cumulative for the entire row.
  • Sell Volume Percent - displays the volume that occurred at the bid price at each price and displays it in the percentage form of total volume.  It is cumulative for the entire row.
  • Ticks - displays the amount of ticks at each price.  Essentially, volume is discarded and only the ticks are counted.  It is cumulative for the entire row.
  • Average Size - displays the average volume size per trade at each price.  It is cumulative for the entire row.
  • Delta - displays the cumulative (net) delta for the entire row.  It is cumulative for the entire row.
  • Delta % - displays the percentage of volume that had a net positive or negative delta.  It is essentially showing a ratio of bid traded volume versus ask traded volume but only showing the % of volume that occurred on the most dominant side of the market.  It is cumulative for the entire row.
  • Price (Delta Color) - displays the price of each trade with the background shaded according to the intensity of the delta.
  • Price - displays the price of each trade.  It is included for easy reference.
  • Bars (TPOs) - displays in numeric form the amount of time periods that have been spent at each price.  It is dependent on the chart's periodicity.
  • TPO Histogram - displays in graphic form the amount of time periods that have been spent at each price.  It is dependent on the chart's periodicity.
  • Volume Profile - displays the distribution of volume at price. 
  • Footprint Profile - displays the distribution of volume at price and shades each volume at price bar according to the intensity of delta.
  • Period - sets the length (time period) of the statistics under review.
  • Horizontal Position - sets the postion of the statistics to the left or right side of the chart.
  • Column Width - sets the width of each column.
  • Profile Width - sets the width of each profile.
  • Historical VA and POC - displays the currently developing Value Area and Point of Control.
  • Smoothed Profile (y) - Averages the volume over the nearest (y) bars. For instance if set to 11, the volume for the nearest 11 prices will be averaged together. This creates the effect of a smooth profile.
  • Smoothed Delta (y) - Averages the delta for the nearest (y) bars and displays it as a value.
  • % of Total Volume  - displays the percentage of volume traded at each specific price.
