Custom Scan Based on Prior Period Volume Profile
Thinkorswim Scan Volume Profile
Are you a fan of Volume Profile? This video shows you how to run a custom scan using Volume Profile to identify 4 separate signals commonly used by Profile traders. Both long a short signals are included. This scan projects the Volume Profile from the prior period into the current one. It then uses the Value Area to locate tradable opportunities commonly used by Profile traders. Parameters are included to adjust the sensitivity and duration used to identify potential entries.
Free custom scan code included. Find the link to the code within the video. Be sure to watch the entire video to understand how to use this scan and to find the embedded link. There is a companion chart study available for this scan. Just go to About: Hahn-Tech, LLC and fill out the contact form requesting pricing. We can customize the chart study to fit your individual needs.

ok I think I got it only scan not study
ok thank you but nothing appears any different then the built in vol. profile study ..am I missing something …I installed the code w\t the 4 plots so is there an additional fee for the plot lines and arrows .. really appreciate all you do
MR. Hahn recently watched and down loaded scan vol. profile..[ into studies] …im not getting lower plot info or arrows ..and on some tickers they appear thin ..ive watched the video 3 times ..thanks in advance
That is correct. This video provides only a scan and not the chart study.
hi, good video. where do i find the text for this scan?
Thanks
The answer to your question is explained in the video description:

Hi there, is it possible to modify the VP scanner code to pick prices as they are crossing VAs? If yes, would you mind showing the new lines? Many thanks.
When you say, “crossing VA’s”. What exactly do you mean? I would guess that VA stood Value Area. Which is the entire profile. But that doesn’t make sense. So I guess you actually meant to say “crossing the VAH and VAL levels”? If that is the case, simply adjust the user inputs until the trigger range has vanished. You probably need to see this in a screenshot so post in the Q&A forum if you still have questions.
Pete, thank you for your prompt reply and apologies for the lack of clarification. Yes, you guessed it spot on that I meant VAH and VAL. I’ve tried adjusting the inputs to fine tune it to no avail, so I have posted a query in the Q&A section. Thank you in advance.
