BoxInside MT5

This indicator calculates the volume profile and places labels that correspond to the VAH, VAL and POC levels, for each candle individually.

Indicator operation features

The indicator works on the timeframes from M3 to MN, but it uses the history data of smaller periods:

• M1 - for periods from M3 to H1,
• M5 - for periods from H2 to H12,
• M30 - for the D1 period,
• H4 - for the W1 period,
• D1 - for the MN period.

The color and location of the VAL, VAH and POC labels on the current candle are considered to be correct only near the Close time of the candlestick.
