Post From: Composite Volume Profile

I am trying to develop a volume composite profile for my charts
I have set up a volume by price study using all bars in chart
What I am thinking of/trying to display is a composite volume profile starting around when the futures contract rolls over; so right now i have a start date of say september 16, 2021 for the ES contract.
How can i set the end date to be rolling forward continuously as opposed having to change it manually every day etc ...

If you are just wanting to have a Volume Profile that starts at a specific time and continues forward in time, then set the Volume Graph Period Type to Start Date-Time to End. Refer to the following:
Volume By Price Study: From Start Date-Time To End

Also based on the charts i have seen of others that are using Investor RT or Sierra Charts the "heat map" for the coloring scheme of the the volume bars seems to be somewhat inverted by default. That is lower volume are red colors and higher volumes are green/blue on my default pattern. Should i just manually change them to the color scheme i am looking for or am i overlooking some eaier way to do this ?

The colors for the Market Depth Historical Graph are defined at the top of the list of Inputs for that study, starting with the Ask colors and then the Bid colors. You would need to change these to whatever coloring you prefer. Refer to the information starting here:
Market Depth Historical Graph: Range 3 Max Ask Color
