Hello SC

I am pretty sure this is a bug, but if not please let me know how I can fix this.

I have set a 30 second open range on the ES starting at 9:30. It works for my candlestick chart, but on the Rev. 5t footprint chart the open range is incorrect. See the image included. Correct open range is in the top chart, incorrect in the bottom. It seems the Open Range on the Rev. 5t footprint chart won't update until the candle changes. The open range should have cut off towards the top of the footprint, but it follows the footprint all the way down (I am referring to the first footprint candle in the footprint chart).

Is this a bug or something I have set incorrectly?

Regards,

What you are saying is that the Horizontal Line At Time and related studies should draw a line at the exact time specified. I agree. I think the problem is that when you specify an OHLC level to draw, it's very much dependent on what chart you're on, since candles on a 1-minute chart will have different start levels than candles on a Renko, range, or other similar non-time-based charts.

Probably the easiest way around this is to put your 30-second OR or IB study on a 30-second chart, then use the Study Overlay study to project those levels from that chart onto whatever chart you're trading on.

Hey EdCarp...

Great idea of the Study Overlay. I will definitely try that.

There is no bug here. The issue is relates to using a Non-Time Based chart (5T Reversal) and having a specific time set in a study. The time in the study will most likely fall within the time period of a bar. Therefore, when looking for a specific bar related item (such as the High or Low), it is going to use the value from the bar in which that time falls. It cannot be otherwise, as to do so would require knowing the close of the bar at all points in time.

Therefore, what was suggested by EdCarp is exactly what you need to do.

Just for completeness, the documentation for the Study/Price Overlay can be found here:
