# Can I put an indicator or a drawing behind the candles?

**For volume profiles, yes.** The volume profile indicators have a **Behind candles** setting in their settings dialog: it draws the profile bars under the candles, and their lines and labels stay on top.

**Drawings stay above the candles.** You can still order drawings against each other: select the drawing, open **More options** on its quick bar, and choose **Bring to front** or **Send to back**.

In your own wrun indicators, heatmap plots draw behind the candles, as in the [Book heat](/wrun/cookbook/book-heat) cookbook script.
