Here is an update of usage so far of the Indicator.
The Indicator works good on 1 minute chart with VRVP selected of any future.
If the chart is changed to any other time frame of minutes, range, Volume, Ticks, Seconds then the Indicator shows up and disappear in a second.
My Ninjatrader Version is 8.1.6.3 64-bit.
Did you seen such issues or anyone had something similar?
Using Ninjatrader Version is 8.1.6.3 64 and indicator version 1.65.
If it helps for feedback.
I don't get such issues as the Indicator showing up and disappearing in a second. In fact it's the opposite, meaning if I change chart time frame and or type the indicator takes only about a second to refresh and then is back again. I've tried in VRVP mode as well with no issues.
It loads very quickly, far quicker than the inbuilt NT8Order FlowVolume Profile.
@DavidHP
From the first version I created several indicator templates. With each subsequent update there were no issues and each new version just replaced the previous when I download it. However the latest version 1.65 didn't meaning I had to delete all the indicator templates I'd created and re-create those. Perhaps the flashing issue has something to do with that. hope it helps
Good feedback for @hurtor3 -- and the template tip is worth highlighting.
The template incompatibility you ran into with v1.65 is a known NinjaTrader behavior. When an indicator's properties change between versions, NT8 stores the old property serialization in saved templates. The new version can't deserialize against the old structure, so templates break silently. Deleting and recreating them -- exactly what you did -- is the correct fix.
For @hurtor3's issue (works on 1-min but disappears on range/volume/tick charts), this is likely a different problem. Non-time-based bar types (range, renko, volume, tick) don't have regular time intervals, so volume profile calculations that assume time-based bars can behave unpredictably. The indicator may be calculating correctly but then failing on the rendering pass when it can't map the profile to expected time boundaries.
A few things worth trying for anyone hitting the flashing issue:
Delete all saved templates for the indicator and recreate from scratch (as zt379 confirmed works)
Check the Calculate property -- if set to OnEachTick, volume profiles will redraw on every incoming tick, which can cause visible flashing on fast-moving instruments like ES or CL
Reset indicator settings to defaults before applying custom configurations
The fact that it loads faster than the built-in NT8 Order Flow Volume Profile is a good sign for the core code -- the rendering issues on non-standard chart types are likely an edge case @samitro can address.

I am still having the issue I have described before....
This time I have removed everything and left only with Advanced Volume Profile v1.65.
1 Minute chart with VRVP shows up and no issues, when I change to any other time or type then it just gone and not shown, has been waiting more than 30 minutes for it load up.
Do you have any suggestions?
