Post From: Problem understanding overlay study

Hi I mix different bar types using the overlay study in containing mode. I consider to get the data one bar "too early" and want to understand how to use the study properly. In the enclosed-by image you can see a 5 mn chart overlayed on a volume bar chart. The volume chart includes bars that start at #1 14:52:51 #2 14:55:01 ... I expect to see the 5 mn 14:55 overlayed bar on bar #2 because it was not available during the start of bar #1. But it is overlayed on bar #1. FWIW : when I do the test with ACSIL using sc.GetContainingIndexForSCDateTime of those same charts, it will draw as expected on bar #2 !!! Which means I don't understand something, or use the overlay STUDY in a wrong manner. I indicated my settings. Please advise. -- W.
