Post From: How to keep historical data consistent with real-time when referencing other time Frames

Hello,

When using sc.GetContainingIndexForDateTimeIndex to obtain the corresponding index for data from another chart:
For example, if the current chart uses 1-minute bars and the other chart uses 1-hour bars, the corresponding index for the 1-hour bars always represents the ending data when driving indicators on historical bars in the 1-minute chart.
If it's real-time quotes, then the close of the 1-hour bar and the close of the 1-minute bar are consistent.
I want to be as consistent as I am with backtesting or live data, what should I do?
