        Range volume profile is a part of Volume by price system that helps to reveal the amount of volume (displayed from left to right) for a particular price range on the chart. The range for the volume is defined by the start and end points on the chart and is based on the highest and lowest prices for the entire period. 

        The Volume by price drawings can be used to identify current support and resistance levels and to estimate future support and resistance levels.

        The Range volume profile is drawn by two points. To add a Range volume profile to the chart, click its name or the icontrend_channel_iconon the Drawings Panel. Then, do the following steps:

        • Specify a starting point on the chart, it can be a specific candle or any point on the chart area.
