[Programming Help] - VWAP behaviour during replay

Here is the situation.

1.Creating VWAP and std bands on a 1 tick chart . Creating signals based on standard deviations.

2. I check the chart for standard deviations.

2. I run a auto replay and back test. The standard deviation results are totally different.

3. The standard deviations computed and displayed after the auto replay ( both bar based replay and standard replay) are VASTLY DIFFERENT from standard deviations computed on a chart by a study before the replay!

(example: Before a test from the chart I should get 6 signals. Because the autoreplay produces different std values it produces 17 signals.).

I don't know if I can trust the chart or the backtest!

Is this normal? can VWAP be used on tick charts?

Thanks

What is the exact name of the VWAP study you see listed in Analysis >> Studies that you are using?

We ran a test and we do not observe any problem like this. Maybe it is not a Sierra Chart provided study.

It is a custom study where moving averages intersect SD bands - very simple. The SD lines crossovers by price. The study is fine (including the SD values ) as are the indicators. The problem occurs when I run the replay. The SD bands during replay are entirely different.

If you don't encounter the problem its ok!!
