My 5m lines are not plotting accurately. If you see the pic I've attached it is accurate on my 5m chart as you can see the 5m bar low ending at 15413. Yet on my 1m and 2m chart it's plotting at 15422. I've tried changing the end time settings such as 09:34:59 and it is still off. Any input or fix on this?

We see a couple of issues. First, the entry for the End Time of the High Low for Time Period - Extended should not be at the beginning of a bar. It needs to be 1 second prior to the start of a bar in order to capture the actual data from the 5 minutes between 09:30:00 and 09:35:00. In other words, the end time needs to be 09:34:59. Otherwise, you are including the data from the bar that starts at 09:35:00 and goes to 09:39:59. Second, when you change the chart to a 2 minute chart, the High Low for Time Period - Extended study has the same issue with the data, in that you define the End Time at a time that is in the middle of a bar, therefore the entire bar is taken into account, which actually takes you to 09:35:59. Therefore, you either need to have a chart that is evenly divisible by the time period defined in the High Low for Time Period study, or the opposite, the time period needs to match up with the chart time. All of this is explained in the following section of the documentation for that study: High/Low for Time Period - Extended: High/Low Accuracy For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing Date Time Of Last Edit: 2021-09-30 00:41:31

Hi: I am trying to hold the high/low for the opening range. I've attached some images of the Opening 5. It works on the 5-minute chart. However, when I switch to the 30, the high jumps to the 30 Minute High instead of holding the 5-minute high. Aside from having my times correct, the new chart period, 30-minute is divisible by 5, so the high/low data should hold. I am trying to use the High/Low for Time Period Extended, so I don't have to create 5-minute charts to export the desired high/low data through Study Overlay. |

You have to use the 5 minute chart if you are wanting to get the first 5 minutes. You can not use an intrabar time period.
