Hi,

I want to put 1m indicators on a 3 second chart and noticed they don't line up, is there a certain way to do this or may this be a bug?

Notice the 1m bars don't line up with the 3s and beginning of the bar they start a bit earlier as does the Trading with the Nines I'm adding from a 1m chart both have same start/end times. The 9EMA seems shifted too. I'm finding success using longer term indicators on more granular shorter time frames but just noticed they don't perfectly line up probably making me make poor decisions at times.

You need to be careful with the Inputs for "Data Copy Mode" and "Bar Time Matching Method". Make sure you have these set correctly for what you want to accomplish. Refer to the following and the section below it:
