Line Tool Result Different Depending on Time Frame

The Line Tool does not seem to maintain accuracy when switching between chart time frames.

For example, if I draw a line on a 30M chart connecting two swing lows, the line does not seem to connect to these lows if I change the time frame to 10M, 5M, or 1M for example. I don't understand why. A low on the 30M chart should be the same price as the same low on the 1M chart, so the line should match on all time frames, but they do not.

Please advise.

It maintains perfect accuracy. You need to understand how this works and this is explained here:

If this does not answer the question, we need to see before and after images of the chart after changing the chart bar timeframe. Here are instructions:
