Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Volume Profile and Market Profile TPO?
Volume Profile displays the quantity of contracts, currency units traded or data ticks per price level.
Market Profile displays the quantity and indices of time periods where prices occurred per price level. Units are named TPO's, short for Time Price Opportunity. Market Profile is a charting technique by J. Peter Steidlmayer, a trader at the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT), ca 1959-1985.

What is the difference between Volume and Tick Volume?
Volume is the quantity of contracts or currency units traded, data used in analytics to represent activity based on monetary value, inherently data is not available for all symbols and might be limited by scope of brokerage or trading venue.
Tick Volume is the quantity of data ticks, e.g., last order price updates, data used in analytics to represent activity based on data feed updates.
Tick Volume is the quantity of data ticks, e.g., last order price updates, data used in analytics to represent activity based on data feed updates.
What causes distributions to differ after change of chart timeframe or price scale?
A minor chart price scale change might cause indicator price level grid to change causing significant distribution difference.
Change of chart timeframe and indicator price level grid cause reinitialization which with in-memory stored price tick data distributions will cause difference.
What causes the indicator to slow down or become unresponsive?
Distributions might be discarded and recalculated at high rates, e.g., scrolling chart without fixed price scale might cause the price level grid to change many times per second.
On initialization system resources are primarily utilized for processing of historical data.
To improve performance manually set history timeframe to a higher period or use an adaptive history plan, e.g., M15 opposed to M1 data rows utilize 15 times less system resources.
Inspect historical data coverage in the panel to specifically determine the lowest period data required for highest quality visualizations, i.e., visualization on high scale H4 chart might not require M1 data rows.
Other factors might be a large dataset range, high amount of segments, small price level size and/or small TPO period size. More specific to the terminal is the total activity, i.e., resource utilization, of all attached chart application instances and Market Watch symbols. For calculations of multiple attached indicators the possibility of delay by single thread operations, i.e., MetaTrader 5 utilizes a separate thread to operate indicators for each symbol. If historical data is not downloaded before attaching an indicator instance to a chart distributions will be discarded and recalculated for each time new data is received until set timeout.

What is the use for .tpl, .set and .ini files?
Set files (.set extension) are to configure chart applications (e.g., type 'Indicator' and 'Script') they contain application input parameter settings. Set files can be used via the application's properties window 'Inputs' tab.
Templates (.tpl extension) are to configure charts they contain chart property settings including configurations of all applications attached to it. Templates can be used via the menu bar or context menu.
INI files (.ini extension) are to configure advanced or less frequently used settings and can be edited with a text file editor. For the Volume by Price Indicator they contain input parameter settings and can be used via the indicator's properties window 'Inputs' tab by file path as text input parameter values.
