**Setup:** - Chart: NQ (E-Mini NASDAQ) - Timeframe: 240 minutes (4-hour intraday chart) - Tick Size: 0.250000 (confirmed correct) - Session Times: Day 09:30:00-16:59:59 | Evening 18:00:00-09:29:59 - Weekend Data: Do Not Load Weekend Data - Study: PD-VA LINES: ID:1 (Volume Value Area Lines) **Problem:** When displaying the previous week's volume profile (with Reference n Periods Back = 1), the gray value area box is drawing incorrectly. The VAH/VAL lines are not matching the actual volume profile from the previous week when compared to a daily or weekly chart. **Expected Behavior:** The gray shaded area should display the exact VAH/VAL levels from the previous week VP. What am i missing here? |

What do you mean by the "gray value area box is drawing incorrectly"? We are not certain what we are supposed to be comparing in your image. One thing we can see from your setup is that you have the "Ticks per Volume Bar" set differently between the two studies. The Volume by Price is set to "4", but the "Volume Value Area Lines" is set to "1". These must be the same in order to get the same result.

Thank you... That's the one I'm missing. Different tick value.
