"Volume" overlay/indicator for Forex Charts

[HedgePig]

Hello All,

Is anybody aware of an overlay or indicator that I can overlay on a tick/range-based chart to show volume/number of bars printing over a set period?

In other words, using today (NFP) as an example. This morning, in the lead up to the news on EURAUD and using a 3 Pip Range Bar we see 357 Bars Form in the period.
However, in the short time since the news at 13:30, we have seen 469 bars form to 15:00.

Is there a market profile I can load over this that shows higher and lower formation of tick/bars withouth having to measure them. In other words, I can see low-activity areas and high activity areas. Some kind of histogram or something that colours at certain levels?

[EDIT] - In a simpler definition, how many bars are forming every 10 minutes/60 minutes for example? Bars Per Hour/Minute? Maybe expressed as a number?

Comments/Suggestions welcome as always, please see screen grab for actual display of the chart/proposal.

Thanks

The image enclosed below illustrates (with added comments) a relatively simple and easy way to count bars every 10 minutes (note that as is the barCount starts at 0 every 10 mins – if you want it to start at 1 just add +1 to the equation that calculates it)
See the EFS KnowledgeBase for the definitions and syntax of the functions used in the example
