Post From: Volume-Colored Based on Bar Closes: Not plotting correctly

So to confirm you do not see a problem with the study when used by itself on a chart?

Short answer: No, I don't see a problem then.
I also noticed that the volume counters sometimes reset themselves on the problematic charts prior to the associated 1 minute candle being closed and seem to start counting from 0 again.
(Further details below)

To answer your question, I opened a new chartbook (within the same instance) and put up a default 1 minute chart of the same contract, using "Volume-Colored Based on Bar Closes" as the only study on it.
I then compared it to the volume indications on my other two 1-minute charts for about 10 minutes:

On the simple new chart with only that one study on, the volume was counted without any issues and also remained the same after manual recalculation. As before, on the other two charts, the volume was counted/indicated completely wrong (also differing between the two), and only after manual re-calculations it was shown correctly (showing the same value as the one on the simple chart).

While watching the development of the volume closely, I also noticed that the volume counters (which display the volume as a number in green or red numbers right next to the study name) sometimes DROP again on the two "problem charts".
Example: they had already counted to e.g. 200 and then suddenly dropped to (apparently) 0 again for the relevant 1 minute bar, although the next 1 minute candle had not started, yet. That happened very often. I wrote "apparently", because instead of a 0 a very low figure (e.g. 4 or 14) was indicated, but I assume it is based on an immediate restart of the counting from 0.
Of course, that must be an error.
