Post From: Chart scrolling shows the Chart Bars to be out of sync between charts

I have 5 Charts in a sort of manual walk-forward test. All are linked = 1 and Scroll = Yes.
Charts are typically, 240m, 60m, 10m, 5m and 2m with Next Bar being advanced via the right H. Scroll Bar at the bottom of the 2 minute chart .... which is also the smaller timeframe.

Here is the issue when manually advancing the chart bar by bar with focus on the 2 min.

Accounting for the composition of bars to timeframes the bodies 'current Close/Last Price' across my charts are inconsistent and in addition the Price presented in the Price Col. (Y-Axis) is also different for each chart which will be the source of the issue.

We do not understand what exactly you are trying to do here or what the exact issue is.


I expect bar replay would be the solution however I should that I'm not using bar replay as I'm experiencing issues here also.

For example using [To Next Bar] or [To Next Time Increment 00:02:00:000] on the Bar Replay control with focus on the 2m Chart selected does nothing. Only the Bar Replay Speed has an impact.
Settings are [All Charts in Chartbook] and [Accurate Trading System Back Test Mode] and [Speed = 1] as I want to advance 1 bar at a time.
I've also tried using Standard reply and other permutations but the times are not synchronised across charts either and the [By Time hh:mm:ss:ms] / [To Next Bar] and [To Next Time Increment unit 00:02:00:000] along with the >> button has no impact.

Speed (n) Play however does advance the bars as expected.

If you use the Jump option of "To Next Bar" then all charts that are being replayed will move to their respective next bar. So if you are at 09:00:00 in the replay and jump to the next bar, then the 2 minute chart will jump to the 09:02:00 bar, the 5 minute chart will jump to the 09:05:00 bar, and so on. This means that the charts are now out of sync.

If you use the Jump option of "To Next Time Increment", then everything should stay in sync and all the charts will adjust to that next time period (09:02:00 in the example given above).
