I'm using sierra charts to get historical data for multiple intraday periods, while doing this I realize that sierra has inconsistent patterns for any intraday timeframe above 15 mins, let's take an example of 60 min timestamps which I observed as 18:30,19:30,20:15, 21:15, after 19:30 shouldn't there be 20:30 ? same thing happens again with 12:15, 13:15, 13:30. Due to this some 15 minutes candles are getting treated as 60 minutes, this also makes cross platform usage impossible because every other platform maintains a similar patterns.

any solution for this ?
