We do not understand why you would want a five-year Volume by Price profile on two different charts. This is a very intense calculation with CPU and memory.

Do not bother with it on the Renko bars chart that you have. The accuracy is going to be degraded because of the large number of bars. Refer to:
http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/VolumeByPrice.php#AlgorithmToMinimizeCPUAndMemoryUse

The chart bars should be set to 1 Day per bar or at least not less than one hour.

We looked at the chartbook_test2.cht Chartbook and it is only loading 30 days of data.

Use the Continuous Futures Contract feature to load five years of data:
