In the attached window, I need to set up a 5-day Volume Profile on the left side of the chart and another Volume Profile on the right side of the same chart. With my current skills, I am only able to set up one VP. Could you please list the exact steps I need to follow to achieve this? Thank you.

Okay, thanks. I used AI; it explained exactly what to do and guided me precisely and effectively—better than the manual, though the manual is still very useful. I’m running into an issue, though: I set up a 1-day VP and a 5-day VP using two different "Volume by Price" indicators. Unless I made a mistake somewhere (which is certainly possible), the chart is displaying the exact same VP on the right as it is on the left. What am I doing wrong?

Apparently, AI did not give you all the information.

You have both your profiles set to display the "Visible Bars". This is set in the "Volume Graph Period Type". You need to change this to be "One Period at End of Fixed Time Length". Then the Inputs for "Time Period Type for 'Fixed Time'" and "Time Period Length for 'Fixed Time'" will apply and you will have the two different profiles.

Refer to the following:
