Post From: Different DMI Values between simulation and Live?

I am a little confused on why my simulations are different than the live trading. I have a question relating to this. First I am doing a 30min DMI overlay on the 30sec chart. SO, during simulation does the final DMI value for the 30min get assigned to all the 30sec bars within that 30min? I think this is what is happening, but i do not know. Because during live the final DMI value is not known, obviously, so during live the DMI value from the 30min changes and gets updated on the 30sec chart. I think this is my problem. So, Does the final DMI value from the 30min chart get assigned to all the 30sec bars during simulation from the get go, or does the DMI change dynamically during simulation and just end with the same DMI value that is the end value of the time period? Meaning during that 30min interval some 30sec bars have one DMI and some 30sec bars have another DMI, or do they have all the same DMI (the final value)? Thanks!
