What's happening:

When I add the Volume By Price reference 1 bar ago, the study disappears and then flickers for the current bar.

My settings:

-POC, VAH, VAL Lines Only
-Number of Periods Back to Reference: 1
-Multiple Profiles Fixed By Bar Length
-Number of Bars: 1

When Number of Periods Back to Reference is set to 0, it plots fine.

When it is set to 1, it only appears occasionally.

You can pull up the Studies window for instance and keep clicking "Apply" and it will show up for about a second every time you do.

Here is an image using a 0 (referencing the current bar): http://s10.postimg.org/51upd074p/current_bar.png

And here it is referencing the previous bar - notice nothing is plotted: http://s10.postimg.org/witpo0j6h/1_bar_lookback.jpg

The green is the VAH and VAL, the pink is the POC. In the second photo it is simply plotting the previous bar on the next bar - except not for the current bar.

Here it is with 1 bar lookback and I click "Apply" really fast and take a snapshot, you can see the previous bar's value/poc plotted: http://s9.postimg.org/6epem3gov/clicking_apply.jpg

Would like to fix this so that it is always visible. Since it's the previous bar, it should plot and stay static. Not sure if this is a bug or a setting somewhere.

Here is a quick video that shows:

-Referencing 1 bar back and clicking "Apply"
-Referencing the current bar
-Switching it back to referencing 1 bar back

Good day,
I have 30 min chart, I have dynamic VbP on its left side. How can I put separate VbP for a start of every new trading day?

You need to set the following inputs for the Volume by Price study:
Volume Graph Period Type: Multiple Profiles Fixed by Time
Time Period Type for Fixed by Time: Day
Time Period Length for Fixed by Time: 1
