Post From: Data changing with Study/Price overlay on the Demand Index

So I'll explain again since I don't think you understand what point I am trying to make. I have a spreadsheet trading system that uses the Study/Price overlay to overlay my indicator from my 8 minute chart on the 2 minute chart. This means that that indicator has a 8 minute interval in the spreadsheet. All values during that 8 minute will change because that candle is still going. What I want to have it that every time a 2 minute candle is closed, it takes the value of the 8 minute candle as well so that that doesn't change anymore. Because if it does, it changes the data in the past as well on recalculate, which messes up with backtests because the lines are already calculated and show fake results.


As written in my first post. To put it in your words:

A problem that can be experienced with the Study/Price Overlay study relates to when it is referencing a study in the source chart that changes its values at chart bars earlier than the last bar in the chart, or earlier than the prior last bar and any new bars added to the chart, during normal chart updating.

What happens in this particular case is that the changes in the source study at chart bars earlier than the last bar or earlier than the prior last bar and any new bars added to the chart, are not reflected by the Study/Price Overlay study on the destination chart.

There has to be a way to get the 2 minute intervals of an 8 minute chart and fix them every 2 minutes so they don't change.
