There are two settings in the Study/Price Overlay study that can affect what you are seeing: Data Copy Mode Bar Time Matching Method Since you have non-time based bars, it is recommended that you use Earliest... for the Data Copy Mode. Auto Trade System Back Testing: Performing Back Testing on a Trading System That Uses Multiple Charts Experiment with the Bar Time Matching Method choices to find the best. In my experience, there is no combination of settings that always remove all of these anomalies of the Study/Price Overlay study. You will sometimes have a signal that arrives late, or a signal that occurs where it should then disappears. It is therefore problematic to use multiple charts for alerts or autotrading, more so when using non-time-based charts.
