I'm curious to know how many of you guys are using the TPO features of Sierra Chart? I haven't had time to play with them much yet. I tried following the directions on their site, and I wanted to create a 30 minute TPO chart of CL. Even though my chart was using 30-minute bars, and I specified 30 on the interval in the study, it kept loading a 1 minute chart as soon as I hit applied. I'm a novice at SC so I'll try again, I no doubt made a mistake somewhere. I'll try again later using ES, since using TPO on CL probably won't be very useful. But in general, how do you guys find the TPO in SC? I read they recently made a lot of enhancements to it. Mike

I am using TPO charts for everything /GC, /CL and /ES and they are extremely useful. I usually put TPO and VBP (Volume By price) on the same chart, so that for every TPO profile I have a VBP profile, I find it extremely useful. It took me several month to customize Sierra as I wanted, but I must say it's amazing.
I think TPO are in general very useful to have a strategic understanding of what is happening in the market. Sierra allow to personalize TPO chart in any possible way.
In particular I split TPO profiles between pit sessions and overnigh markets hours.

There a quite a few posts here at NexusFi on market profile and usage of TPO based charts. If you check the Elite members downloads, I have personally uploaded a market profile (TPO) study for SC, actually more than one. Edit: I plan on uploading the MP chart that I am using currently as I've made some changes.

Thats great and will check for the SC template for TPO.

I did checked in the downloads section for sierrachart and dont find it. Can you please post here....

Thanks and can you please post the SC template here for TPO

Personally (and this is just me lol) I fail to see the value of TPO versus volume profile. I would love to hear countering opinions

I do believe that the powers that be here at NexusFi changed it so you can longer upload chart files to individual posts, at least from what I recall.

It's in the ELITE CIRCLE download section, I just went there recently and it's there.

Here's a direct link to Page 4:

Here's my most recent version that I'll be uploading here shortly:

There are plenty of people that feel this way and I get it. MP is what I learned first and I feel it has its place in the toolbox. I lean more towards VP now and I use both side by side on my MP/VP dedicated chart (see above post).

That being said, on my main chart in my charting platform, it has VP only and I feel it's of much more use in the shorter term. When doing mid-longer term analysis, I tend to use MP more, but VP has it's place especially in terms of overall volume, LVN's / HVN's, composites and the like, which extends of the usage of VP to much higher time frame(s).

Updated MP/VP chartbook has been uploaded to the Elite Circle downloads section.

Cool. I'm not strictly a VP trader but I do use it, I usually have a daily up on my intraday charts along with a weekly/monthly/quarterly on their appropriate timeframes. I'd be interested to hear how you decide to form a composite; I had thought about looking at a previous swing H/L but... maybe info overkill in my case

Here's VP on a daily, just gives me a idea of total Vol based on the 1st trading day of the year to present.

TPO is good for showing levels.
