My relative volume study is showing inaccurate data from what I can see. When I first put it on the chart it looked accurate, now it's showing almost every 30 min bar at 200% and higher with a lot of the bars at 400%. This is obviously inaccurate. Please take a look at the settings and let me know. Thanks.

Here is crude which looks even more inaccurate.

There are two problems here. Refer to:
http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/StudiesReference.php&ID=356#s356_ContinuousFuturesContractCharts

You need to set the chart to a Continuous Futures Contract chart.

And also read the description for the Period - Days to Include Input here:

I used Continuous Futures Contract- Date Rule Rollover for the ES. Is that setting sufficient for Crude and Gold or should I use something else?

Refer to:

For commodities like gold and crude oil, you should use a volume-based rollover.
