When using that particular command on the Trade menu, only one chart is replaying.

All responses below make an assumption that the Back Test was started on the 30 seconds chart.

So what you are saying is the DMI value for the 30sec bars within the 30min will be the same for every bar?
Yes in this particular case.

is the the DMI value for the 30min once it is closed?
Yes.

Since it is in the past it already knows that value so are all the 30sec bars within that 30min bar assigned that final value?
Yes.

Is there anyway to get the actual values of the 30sec bars within that 30min time frame that they were when they were live?
Yes. You need to use a multiple chart back test. Refer to:
