6) Then, still in manual mode, I set the chart from January 3, 2026, to April 1, 2026—within this date range, the program must automatically calculate the VP last on the left and the VP last on the right

How are you setting the chart from January 3, 2026 to April 1, 2026? From what you are stating, it would require that you change the "Date Range From/To" for the chart to the specific dates you want.

If the above is the case, and the chart is only displaying those specific dates, then you would not need to change the Volume by Price profile setups. Just add the profiles to the chart and set them to have the number of days for each period you want (one 93 days and one 5 days). As you change the available dates in the chart, the profiles will update automatically.

Otherwise, there is not really a way to do what you are wanting in an easy fashion as you want it. For instance, if you are really wanting those 93 days to be in the display at that time, and you want to scroll forward to view the next day, then you can get the 93 days profile to work by using the "Volume Graph Period Type" of "Visible Bars". But there is not a way to get the specific 5 day profile without setting specific dates for the 5 day volume profile.
