As we understand it, you want a single 90 minute Volume by Price profile that resets completely at each 90 minute interval. So if your trading day starts at 17:00 (for example) you would see a profile build from 17:00 to 18:29:59 and then completely reset at 18:30:00 and start building again. The above can not be accomplished with the "One Period at End of Fixed Time Length" options, as those are a rolling period - in other words with a 90 minute period, they are looking back 90 minutes and as a new bar is added, the oldest bar is dropped, so it is not a "reset". One way to do this is to use the "Multiple Profiles Based on Fixed Time" and set your period to 90 minutes. You can then set the option for "Right Align Volume Bars" to "Yes" and set "Always Display Last Profile Within View" to "Yes", so you can view that last profile separate from the bars. Another option would be to use "From Start Time to End", but this would require constantly updating the "Start Time" whenever you want the profile to reset. -- With regards to the issue we described with the Renko chart, this will continue to be an issue. Most Sierra Chart studies are based on the bars themselves, and this includes the Volume by Price study. So with a Renko Chart, you do not have bars falling at even time intervals, therefore the Volume by Price is going to be based on the nearest bar including the time you want. For instance, if you expect a profile to start at 18:00:00, but the bars around that time are 17:58:25 and 18:02:35, then the profile will actually start from the bar at 18:02:35. It does not look at the underlying data to find the trades that occurred at 18:00:00 and actually build from there.
