Anchored volume profile
Volume-based1 points to clickThe trading distribution from one anchor bar to now.
What it looks like
The numbered dots are where you click. Once drawn, you can grab those dots and move them.
How to draw it
Click the anchor bar and the volume by price level from then until today is drawn.
When to use it
Where a volume profile reads a range, this reads 'since that event' — the anchor's meaning is the picture's meaning.
In SQMATE
What you draw stays
Lines you draw are saved to that symbol's notebook. Open the symbol again and they are still there.
Editable afterwards
Grab the points to move them, and change colour, width and line style. Undo works too.
Shares as drawn
Send the chart as a single link. Whoever opens it sees the same lines.
