Hello everyone,

Thank you for accompanying me in my trading for the past 4 years. Today, it’s my turn to share my code with you!
For a few weeks now, I’ve been getting back into the market profile to improve my strategy decision-making.
As I’m on IG cfd, I don’t have access to the tool. So when I asked around, I understood that the Initial Balance IB was relatively important for the key zones of the day.

By looking around various sources I understand that the market profile is used in M30 but then the choice of the half-hour taken for the IB differs; some take the M30 candle of the preopening, others that of the openening.
For my part, I chose openning, but it’s modifiable in the code.

Nothing crazy, but I plot my IB M30 at 9 a.m. for the dax (to be modified for the US) in blue with the upper and lower bounds extended to the far right.
I put a variable n = number of rectangles (equal to the IB) above and below the IB with half-rights to visualize my key levels.

If you wish to adapt it, everything is modifiable:

To be changed according to which market you’re trading:
start = 093000 //dax if we’re in M30 and want to have the Initial Balance (IB) on the 9 a.m. candle, we set it to 9:30 a.m. because we “draw on last bar only”.
end = 100000 //dax
//start = 160000 //US if trading in the US, activate these times and deactivate those of the dax
//end = 163000 //US

Number of rectangles corresponding to IB :
n = 5 //number of rectangles above and below IB

If you want to see the current day, other days or all days, but it quickly becomes unreadable :
for y = i-1 to i-1 do //put i-1 for the previous day’s IB, i-1 to i for the previous day’s IB and the day, 1 to i for all days etc…

Don’t hesitate to give me feedback, and if anyone has a code to add the TPO, I’d love to hear from you 😉

defparam drawonlastbaronly=true
 
start = 093000 //dax si on est en M30 et qu'on veut avoir l'Initial Balance (IB) sur la bougie de 9h on met 9h30 car on "draw on last bar only"
end = 100000   //dax

//start = 160000 //US si trading US, activer ces horaires là et désactiver ceux du dax
//end = 163000   //US
 
tc = time>=start and time<end
n = 5 //nombre de rectangles au dessus et en dessous de l'IB
