Profile Length: The number of past bars that the profile considers for building the volume histogram.
Bin Size: The price range between bins is determined by dividing the difference between the highest and lowest prices over the specified range.
Volume Calculation: The script iterates over each bar within the specified range, determining which price bin the bar’s volume should be added to.
