Many users ask how to get Weekly or Monthly POC/VAH/VAL levels. Here's the trick!
How It Works
Set Anchor Session Type = "Max Bars to Scan" and adjust BackLimit to cover your desired period.
The formula is simple:
BackLimit = Days × Bars per Day
Important: Trading days vary by market!• Forex / Stocks / Indices: 5 days/week, ~22 days/month
• Crypto: 7 days/week, ~30 days/month

M15 96 672 2880
M30 48 336 1440
H1 24 168 720
H4 6 42 180
Quick Examples- Weekly POC on H1 (Forex): BackLimit = 120
- Weekly POC on H1 (Crypto): BackLimit = 168
- Monthly POC on M15 (Forex): BackLimit = 2,112
- Monthly POC on M15 (Crypto): BackLimit = 2,880
- Custom 10-Day Profile on H1: BackLimit = 240
Pro Tips- Lower timeframes = More precision
M5/M15 capture more price/volume data points, resulting in smoother POC/VAH/VAL levels. - Performance consideration
Higher BackLimit values require more calculation. For Monthly profiles on M5, consider using M15 or M30. - Daily POC shortcut
For Daily POC, simply use Anchor Session Type = "Daily" instead of calculating bars manually.
