You can go to the TS forums and there are a couple versions there to choose from. I tried one a while back and wasn't all that impressed with the TS versions but maybe they have better ones now...check it out

Edit: you can start with this maybe...https://community.tradestation.com/Discussions/Topic.aspx?Result=1&Topic_ID=111579

I use the one from Solidus that kbit referenced from the TS website. I like it, but it does not do composite profiles over a given time, just the day's session. There's a third party indicator from Edge Player Trading (not too expensive, IMO) that I took for a test drive. This indicator builds a local data store based on a 1 tick chart which it uses for building the profile. Cool idea actually, but that local store has to build up over time. Unless, of course, you have access to historical tick data. Anyways, here's a link to one of the screen shots:
