@bomberone1, that's worth asking -- a few options worth looking at:
Built-in Option TradeStation actually has a native volume profile tool tucked under Activity Bar: Price Distribution. Earlier in this thread, @allatoonalady mentioned using it almost exclusively for VP trading after some tweaking. It's not immediately obvious in the indicator list, but once you find it under the Activity Bar settings, it's surprisingly capable for a built-in tool. Worth experimenting with before spending money.
Third-Party Options
The Solidus Price-Volume Histogram is a free EasyLanguage indicator discussed in the TradeStation TPO Pro thread -- heads up though, it has some limitations (only works on current day data from the matrix), so keep that in mind
Relevant Threads
There's a good discussion in Volume Profile - TradeStation that walks through setting up VP charts in TS with some useful tips.
Given your background with delta and market profile, the built-in Activity Bar approach will probably feel intuitive once you dial in the settings. The main gripe people have is the initial configuration -- the defaults aren't great, but the underlying data is solid.
TGIF! Have a good weekend!
