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          480           2112
   M30          48          240           1056
   H1           24          120            528
   H4            6           30            132

---------    --------    ----------    ------------
   M5          288         2016           8640
   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

1. Lower timeframes = More precision
   M5/M15 capture more price/volume data points, resulting in smoother POC/VAH/VAL levels.
2. Performance consideration
   Higher BackLimit values require more calculation. For Monthly profiles on M5, consider using M15 or M30.
3. Daily POC shortcut
   For Daily POC, simply use Anchor Session Type = "Daily" instead of calculating bars manually.

Enjoy!
