Make sure this Volume by Price Input setting is set to 1:
Volume By Price Study: Ticks Per Volume Bar

And make sure this Chart Setting is set to Intraday Chart:

Chart Settings: Chart Data Type (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Data Limiting >> Date Range and Limiting Method menu)

Hi
It doesn't work

maybe I'm doing something wrong

when I change the "Ticks Per Volume Bar" to 1 nothing happened or it goes back to 5

look at my DOM image
Only the MYMU1 is OK

There are a few different issues going on.

The primary problem is that your Trading DOMs are set to Historical Data. This will not work to get any reasonable Volume by Price profile. You need to set this to Intraday Data in order to get a correct VbP. Refer to the information here:
Volume By Price Study: How Volume by Price is Calculated for Historical Daily and Higher Timeframe Charts

Second, the reason you can not change the Ticks per Volume Bar is because you have the Chart >> Chart Settings >> Volume at Price Multiplier set to 5 on some of the DOMs. As such, you could only set the Ticks per Volume Bar to a multiple of that setting. Refer to the following:
Volume By Price Study: Ticks Per Volume Bar
