To use the Rectangle session, simply add a rectangle chart object named with "MPR" to your chart. Press 'r' on your keyboard to automatically create a correctly named rectangle.

**StartFromDate (default = __DATE__):** If `StartFromCurrentSession` is set to false, the indicator will begin drawing profiles from this specified date and extend backwards. For example, setting it to 2018-01-20 with `SessionsToCount` set to 2 will generate profiles for 2018-01-20 and 2018-01-19.

**StartFromCurrentSession (default = true):** When set to true, the indicator starts drawing profiles from the current session. If set to false, it uses the date specified in `StartFromDate` to begin drawing.

**SessionsToCount (default = 2):** Defines the number of trading sessions for which to display Market Profiles.

**SeamlessScrollingMode (default = false):** When enabled, this mode ignores the `StartFromDate` and `StartFromCurrentSession` settings, allowing the indicator to calculate and display sessions based on the current position of the chart. This feature facilitates infinite scrolling to explore historical sessions.

**EnableDevelopingPOC (default = false):** If activated, multiple horizontal lines will illustrate the evolution of the Point of Control throughout the session.

**EnableDevelopingVAHVAL (default = false):** When enabled, this feature draws multiple horizontal lines to show the development of the Value Area High and Low during the session.

**ValueAreaPercentage (default = 70):** Sets the percentage of the session's TPOs to be included in the Value Area.

Performance

• PointMultiplier (default = 0) — the higher it is, the wider are the profile's price boxes and the fewer are the chart objects. You can use it to reduce the indicator's load on CPU. When the value is zero, an adaptive multiplier is used — the indicator attempts to calculate the optimal value automatically.

• IntradaySessionNEndTime (default = "HH:MM") — end time in HH:MM format for the intraday session #N.
