This relates to a recent change with the handling of an odd Start Time.

With the TPO Profile Chart and the TPO Value Area Lines studies, improvements have been made to handling of an odd session starting time which is not a multiple of 30 minutes or at 0:00, when using a TPO Letter/Block time period of 30 minutes.

There is now the ability to merge the odd sub period which arises from this with the next subperiod, or keep it as a separate subperiod. The study input with these studies that controls this is named Merge Odd SubPeriod with Next (Applies to 30 minute letter/block time period). For example, if the TPO Letter/Block time period is 30 minutes, and the chart Start Time is 8:20, and Merge Odd SubPeriod with Next is set to No, then there will be a single subperiod which goes from 8:20 to 8:29:59. The next subperiod will begin at 8:30.

So because of an odd Start Time is detected, you cannot get an exact match to the normal chart bars but close if you set Merge Odd SubPeriod with Next to No. We will see about having an option to have it work like previously.
