Why Are TPO Profile Charts and TPO Value Area Lines So Different?

Hopefully someone can help me figure this out.

What I have is this:

1. 1 Min Chart of ES, Day Session only
2. Standard TPO Profile (30min blocks, 70% value area, etc)
3. TPO Value Area Lines. These are set to the same 30min and 70% value area and are set to plot the value area and POC from the previous day onto the current day.

However, when I do this, the levels are completely off.

Here is an annotated image of the chart and the settings. The TPO Value Area Lines are the grey boxes with the pink POC.

They should line up with the previous day's value area and POC. Sometimes some of them are close but they should be exact.

I've checked/tried everything here: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_TPOVolProfileCharts.html#IncorrectValues and it my settings look correct for getting accurate results.

What might cause this?

Okay, so the solution is simply this:

1. Plot TPO Value Area Lines onto a 1 Minute chart (or any time frame that is an increment of 30 - 2,3,5,6,10,15).

2. Use Study/Price Overlay to then add it to any other chart you want.

The levels plot accurately this way.

Why are the following two studies on the same chart giving completely different Value area lines?

a) TPO Profile Chart
b) TPO Value Area Lines

I have gone through the above link, but that doesnt explain the difference.

The reason is explained here:
Time Price Opportunity (TPO) Profile Charts: Using Other Studies on a TPO Chart (Using Other Studies on a TPO Chart)

TPO Value Area Lines is not a study which can be used on a TPO Profile Chart. It is not listed in the section linked to.
