Hi there, my goal is to do an analysis on the opening range, 1st 30 and 60min of cash open on CL. I have separate charts to set the time session to reflect each of that. I added a spreadsheet study on the first chart (1st 1min - session time is 900:00 to 9:00:59) and then added a study/price overlay to bring in the 30min and 60min bar so that I can study it all on one spreadsheet study.
the issue I encountered is that for the price/study overlay of the 30min and 60min, the price will be 85.6500015287..... instead of just 85.65. This creates a problem for my analysis. Why is this happening? Thank you.

This is due to Floating Point resolution. Refer to the following:
