Post From: VWAP behaviour during replay

Here is the situation.

1.Creating VWAP and std bands on a 1 tick chart . Creating signals based on standard deviations.

2. I check the chart for standard deviations.

2. I run a auto replay and back test. The standard deviation results are totally different.

3. The standard deviations computed and displayed after the auto replay ( both bar based replay and standard replay) are VASTLY DIFFERENT from standard deviations computed on a chart by a study before the replay!

(example: Before a test from the chart I should get 6 signals. Because the autoreplay produces different std values it produces 17 signals.).

I don't know if I can trust the chart or the backtest!

Is this normal? can VWAP be used on tick charts?

Thanks
