In your experience or opinion, would the accuracy problem be eliminated if the signal was coded in ACSIL instead of done as an alert or in a spreadsheet study? IMO, it's not possible to completely eliminate this anomaly, regardless of the method. When comparing 2 different chart's bars, each of different dynamic durations, each bar will begin and end at random times. So while one bar is building, the other has completed, or vice versa, or they are both building. Signals on one could reverse intrabar, while signals on the other wouldn't, or vice versa. Signals on one at close of bar would likely never be concurrent with the signal on the other. The begin/end timing offsets of each chart's bars would continually be random so comparison could never be always accurate.
