ChartsPod Session Volume Profile: Market Coverage and Data Limits Explained
A session profile needs trade volume for the whole session. Missing data inside the session distorts the POC and value area.
Short answer
ChartsPod lists volume profile. Coverage questions: whether the market's trade data covers the full session, the session definition (UTC day or other), history depth for past sessions, and how gaps are handled. A session with a missing hour has a profile missing that hour's volume, which can move the POC. Mark sessions with gaps before using their levels.
