[User Discussion] - Incorrect Study Overlay

Hi,

When I attempt to overlay the BitMEX 20 day moving average onto a 4 hour chart, the value of the moving average on the destination chart incorrect.

On both charts under Chart Settings I've set the the Time Zone to New York EST; also under data/trade service settings, I've also set the Time Zone to New York EST.

When I set Time Zones to UTC time however, the value of the 20 SMA is correct overlayed onto the 4 hour chart.

Please fix this problem, this is not due to pilot error.

Sorry, this post has no merit. There is no possibility of anything being wrong. The result you get is based on the data and the Study/Price Overlay study settings.

And the time zone settings certainly can have an impact on this if you are copying from a Historical Daily chart but that does not mean there is anything wrong.

With all due respect, you're wrong.

I have followed the time zone settings to a T.

I still get the same inaccurate overlay when using NY EST.

Try it yourself if you don't believe me.

Put a 20 SMA on a Daily Chart, then try and overlay it onto a 4 hour chart using EST. The value for the 20 SMA on the destination chart will be wrong.

Again, the only way I can get the two to be the same is to use UTC time.
