Volume by price settings questions

Hello,

1) I wanted to ad to my DOM a volume profile of the latest 30 minutes.
I set settings of the VBP as such:

"Volume Graph Period type" to "One Period at End of Fixed Time Length"
and "Time Period Length/type for Fixed Time" to 30 minutes.

I read the doc, but not sure I understood correctly... is this what I should set to see a volume profile for the latest 30 minutes?

2) If 1) Is yes, if what I understand is correct, at the end of each 30mn interval, it will redraw the profile once with data from latest 30 minutes, will keep updating at every tick for the next 30 minutes and when those 30 minutes are elapsed, will trigger a redraw of the profile once with data from latest 30 minutes and so on.

3) Is it possible to move an entire profile to the RIGHT of the dom. Not right aligned, but completely to the right?

1. Yes, these are the correct settings to have the VbP for the last 30 minutes.

2. No, you do not have this quite correct. At each chart update it will update the Volume by Price profile, so you are always seeing the most recent 30 minutes of data. In other words, it is constantly updating.

3. It is not possible to move the profile to the right side of the DOM. But be aware of these two options:
Volume By Price Study: Right Align Volume Bars

Volume By Price Study: Align to Far Right

This is what I expected, but definitely not what I observe.
If it was constantly updating, the numbers would constantly vary by subtracting from 30 mn profile trades older than 30 minutes. I'm sure this doesn't happen and the profile doesn't change except for the ongoing trades and the profile is redrawn precisely each 30 minutes.

Is this behavior setting dependant? Is there a way to prevent profile redrawn every 30 minutes?
It might not be a problem to have it the way it is, but I need to know what's possible and not.

Please clarify.

The profile is going to be fully recalculated when there is a new bar in the chart. To increase the recalculation rate set the chart bars to 1 minute per bar.
