Study/Price Overlay On/Off when using Draw Volume Profile

I plot a custom-range Volume Profile and I overlay it on another chart using the Study/Price study. (I use the "POC, VAL, VAH, VWAP" drawing mode only)

The problem is - When I remove the VP on the original chart, I get colorful barcode stripes on the receiving chart. It's aesthetically pleasing but it obscures price action...

Is there a way to prevent that while a VP is not drawn on the source chart?

Second question - The newly drawn VP on the receiving chart are naturally added to the study list and therefore drawn on top of all other studies.
Is there a trick to prevent that? - Make the newly drawn VP placed below all other studies on chart.

No, there is not a way to prevent this as long as you are using the Overlay. The issue is that the Overlay is just displaying what it thinks is there.

The potential solution is to use the "Volume Value Area Lines" study to get the POC, VAH, and VAL. The only issue is that the VWAP is not part of this, and the VWAP study itself does not work on a custom time frame - so this will be fine if you are not wanting the VWAP information.

The order of drawing is the order of the studies in the list of "Studies to Graph", going from top to bottom (bottom most studies are on top of the others). You have to make sure the VbP study is at the top of the list. There is no way to automate this occurring.
