Howdy,

Just the opposite.

Imagine you have a double distribution day, and you want to split it in half, so you can then MERGE only one half of the double distribution with another composite profile.


I think this image explains what I mean by a SPLIT of a UNIQUE day... this is an example of SierraCharts demonstrating that functionality.

Merging and Split function
Did you notice the merge function in the context menu, when right clicking directly on the profiles on the charts?
There you can merge and un-merge individual profiles to make composites.
(Not sure if this is what you meant to achieve)

Context Menu:


Example with 3 merged profiles in the middle


They can be un-merged again, through the same context menu.

Split Profile
An individual profile can also be viewed in split mode, to see each individual rotation more clearly, with an individual additional VP for the current rotation. (Similar to windotrader)



Other good MP Indicator
When I was looking for the right MP Add-On, I was between RanchoDinero's and the one from TradeDevils.
They also have a very functional MP Indicator, I've liked a lot, as theirs is very complete in functionality. But its also a touch more expensive though:

Hope this might help.

do any of these support volume at each price on the split market profile?

Yes can be set as desired.
Quickly setup an example, showing volume at price, visible on split or collapsed view:
- In this example I added also TPO count at price for current day.
- Text size adjusts automatically but can be fixed
- Text color can be set as desired (as all other coloration)

Acme Market Profile Example


Hope this helps you.

@FuturesBen,

Fair point, and the short answer is yes, both options tickBull mentioned can do this.

RanchoDinero Acme Market Profile -- tickBull actually demonstrated volume at price on split profiles later in this thread. It shows volume at each price level whether you're viewing collapsed or split rotations, and it also displays TPO count at price for the current session. Worth scrolling through their follow-up posts for screenshots.

TradeDevils Market Profile -- this one explicitly supports volume profile alongside TPO in both split and unsplit modes. It draws a separate VPOC line on each profile, which is handy for spotting where heavy volume actually traded vs. where price just spent time. At $339 it's a bit more than Acme, but the split volume overlay is solid.

Another option worth knowing about: MZpack has a volume profile and TPO indicator combo that supports splitting, merging, and delta (buy vs. sell) volume overlay on each rotation. More of a professional-grade tool if you want to get granular with directional volume.

For your ES and CL work with footprint and volume profile, having volume at price on split profiles is genuinely useful -- it lets you see whether a rotation was driven by real volume commitment or just time spent at a level. Two rotations can print identical TPO structures but tell very different stories when you see the volume distribution.

The native @NinjaTrader Order Flow Volume Profile can do some of this with session splitting via custom trading hours templates, but it's more limited compared to these third-party options for true split TPO with volume overlay.

Have a good weekend!
