Hello, I am using Sierra Chart with a 5-minute Numbers Bars chart on ES. I am seeing a behavior that I would like to understand because I am not sure whether it is normal. Example: While the current 5-minute Numbers Bar is the 19:10 bar and is still forming, I can already see Bid x Ask values displayed in the position of the next bar, 19:15. However, on this apparent 19:15 bar I only see the Bid/Ask Numbers Bars values; the actual candlestick/body has not formed yet. Then, when the 19:10 bar closes, those Bid/Ask values that were displayed at 19:15 disappear. The actual 19:15 Numbers Bar then starts again from zero and begins building normally. The same behavior repeats on every new 5-minute bar. My chart settings are: * Bar Period Type: Days-Mins-Secs-Milliseconds Per Bar * Bar Period Value: 0-5-0 * Split Data Records: Yes * Trades Combining Method: None * Session Start Time: 08:00:00 * Session End Time: 22:14:59 * Use Evening Session: No * New Bar At Session Start: Yes * Intraday Data Storage Time Unit: 1 Tick * Numbers Bars: Bid Vol x Ask Vol I have attached a screenshot showing the issue. Could you please confirm whether this behavior is expected, and explain why Bid/Ask values are temporarily displayed in the next 5-minute bar before the current bar has closed? If this is not expected, which setting should I change to make the Numbers Bars stay synchronized with the actual 5-minute bar? Thank you. |
