How do I split the profile for day and night sessions

 

To configure the session times and optionally split the profile for day and night session, use the new NT7 session manager to configure the sessions times.

use this session template when you open the chart, TPOChart will use the session information and will build a profile for each session 

For example, in the session manger you can configure those sessions

Sunday 4:16 PM to Monday 9:30 AM

Monday 9:30 AM to Monday 4:15 PM

Monday 4:16 PM to Tuesday 9:30 AM

And so on

To test this open a normal 10 min chart, make sure you get the correct sessions, The add the TPOChart indicator to the chart and set Show Bars = True so you can see the exact bars of each session.

How to I scale the graphic/scroll vertically?

 

To Scroll, use Ctrl-Click on the right side price panel and drag the mouse to reposition

To resize you can click on the right side price panel and drag to change the scale.

A box with an "F" (Fixed) will appear in the upper right corner of the chart margin anytime the vertical chart axis is manually adjusted. This signifies the chart axis is set to a "fixed" scale. Left mouse click this button to return to auto scale.

Also to control how many ticks each letter represent you can modify the value of "Prices per Row (Ticks)" try set it to 4 or 10 this can help to better fit the letters into the chart.

TPOChart is based on NinjaTrader data, to analyze the problem:

  • Open new normal 10 min chart, make sure you get all the data if not, use the chart context menu to realod history
  • Add the TPOChart Indicator to the chart, don't use the template, just add the indicator to the chart
  • Set Show Bars (Overlay) = True, this will show the chart bars, see if you still get all the bars for the missing days

Downloaded and installed TPOChart, cannot find it in my indicator list

 
  • Confirm the installation was working correctly by checking the folder Documents\NinjaTrader 7\bin\Custom and make sure you have a file Final.TPOChart.dll, 
    • If not exit NinjaTrader, make sure AntiVirus is disabled and run the installer again. 
    • If still cannot find it check if the dll was installed under different user, in that case try to install again and make sure to install to the correct user or you can just copy the dll to the right user.
  • After starting NinjaTrader check the NinjaTrader log and make sure DLL was loaded correctly, look for a line that say 
    "Vendor assembly 'Final.TPOChart' version='4.0.0.22' loaded"
  • Open the indicator list and look for " TPO and Volume Profile Chart (v4)", Notice it should be at the top of the list as there is a leading space to the name.
