Hi attached is GCEJ20 36 renko bars drawn live and one in hindsight.
The lows at 10:57 have different bars in each, can you make them consistent as this affects back-tests.
Thanks

Did you re-download the historical data in the chart which then caused the difference?

I duplicated the chart, nothing else, I was going to make changes to the new chart when I noticed the difference.

It does make sense that there would potentially be a difference in that particular case. And the reason for the difference would be a different starting Date-Time in the chart. You can look by going to the very beginning of the chart.

Yes the starting Date-time of the charts are different but it is a duplicated chart both with the setting 5 days to load.

When I duplicate a chart is doesn't duplicate the same starting Date time I have tried with some others, is it possible to make it do this?

One chart actually had more than 5 days loaded in it. As the days go by a chart will load more data than the setting.

To avoid the effect of this, enable this option:
Chart Settings: New Bar at Session Start (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Session Times >> Intraday Chart Session Times menu)
