Hi,

I'm creating stats on how far various bars move here is a 60m bar.

I put those stat values in column K to W and use those to plot the levels on chart.

I noticed when I scrolled back on chart the values are totally wrong!

Column K is BIGGER than Column L so when I add those values to Column B the bar's open the result in AA should always be bigger than column AB.
It's not!

K@3 = 120.92
L@3 = 111

Notice AA@3 is correct and is bigger than AB@3 like it should. Every row below SHOULD have a larger value in column AA than AB but somehow columns after the first are all wrong.

Column AA should be B@3+K@3 and Column AB is B@3+L@3. Wrong value show up in every cell I'm looking at.

Here is the chart just one chart and its spreadsheet. Look at Column AA and AB AA should always be high. This might work and be accurate for the first row but rest all appear totally wrong!

Post #1 is impossible for us to understand, unless we get the spreadsheet, and we just need one example of what cell is incorrect and we will check it.

We did not do anything:

Also maybe the issue is related to this:

And we are renaming this thread. There is not a major bug. This would be very very unlikely. Essentially next to impossible.
