Thank you and David for providing feedback. As for
"classic" MarketProfile (with character codes), it can be
done by low-level function, but for speed and real-time trading
I think it is worthwhile to have it built into existing PlotVAPOverlay
as an option, therefore I add that
to the to-do list.
Best regards,
