Study Level Snapshots

Capture volume-profile levels (POC, VAH, VAL, and more) at a time of day and carry them forward until the next capture.

Overview

Part of StarPentaPlus. Point source subgraphs at Volume Profile (or other) levels, choose Bars or Time of Day lookback, and snapshot up to three levels at Capture Time.

Inputs

Input Name	Input Description
Capture Time	Time of day that takes the level snapshots. On the bar whose time matches this value, the study samples the configured source subgraphs at the lookback bar, clears earlier snapshot values, and carries those prices forward until the next capture.
Lookback Mode	How Lookback Count is interpreted. Bars: go back Lookback Count bars from the capture bar. Time of Day: walk backward and count bars that match Lookback Time of Day (exact time, or the first bar that crosses that time); use the Nth match.
Lookback Count	In Bars mode: number of bars before the capture bar to read. In Time of Day mode: how many Lookback Time of Day matches to walk back (1 = most recent prior match, 2 = the match before that, and so on). Typical Days-N use is Time of Day with count N.
Lookback Time of Day	Used only when Lookback Mode is Time of Day. Bars whose time equals this value count as a match. If no bar lands exactly on the time, the first bar after the prior bar that is still before this time also counts (contains the time of day).
Use Subgraph 1	When Yes, Subgraph 1 is filled from Source Subgraph 1 at each capture and carried forward. When No, Subgraph 1 stays empty.
Source Subgraph 1	Study and subgraph used for Subgraph 1 when Use Subgraph 1 is Yes. Point this at a Volume Profile (or other) level such as Days-N POC.
Use Subgraph 2	When Yes, Subgraph 2 is filled from Source Subgraph 2 at each capture and carried forward. When No, Subgraph 2 stays empty.
Source Subgraph 2	Study and subgraph used for Subgraph 2 when Use Subgraph 2 is Yes. Point this at a Volume Profile (or other) level such as Days-N VAH.
Use Subgraph 3	When Yes, Subgraph 3 is filled from Source Subgraph 3 at each capture and carried forward. When No, Subgraph 3 stays empty.
Source Subgraph 3	Study and subgraph used for Subgraph 3 when Use Subgraph 3 is Yes. Point this at a Volume Profile (or other) level such as Days-N VAL.
