We do not know what it is you are trying to point out to us. The algorithm for range bar construction is somewhat complex. The details are documented here:
http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?l=doc/doc_ChartSettings.html#RangeBarStandard

There is nothing wrong with the way those bars work. What you see is based upon your data, and the algorithm used to create the type of bars you have specified. What you see is based upon very definite and consistent logic. We do not understand what you are trying to tell us here. If range bars do not give you the results that you are looking for, then do not use them. Set your chart bars to Number of Trades Per Bar = 1 if that is what you want. Seems like that is what you want.

Previously we said set the chart bars to 1 Tick. We do not mean 1 tick Range per bar. What we meant is Number of Trades Per Bar = 1. We have updated the prior post.
