Post From: Correct setting of 'Data Copy Mode' in Study/Price Overlay

In the documentation for stuyd/Price Overlay study for the 'Data Copy Mode' states that
In the case where the destination chart bars are a non-fixed timeframe, which will be the case when bars are based upon Volume, Number of Trades, Range, Reversal, Renko, Delta Volume, Price Changes, Point & Figure, then you will want to choose Use Earliest Value from Corresponding Timeframe. This is going to be necessary when performing back testing and the source chart is not being replayed.
Study/Price Overlay Study: Data Copy Mode

So, my question is if this suggestion is also true (ie. Data Copy Mode to 'Earliest Value Mode') when:

1. The source charts ARE being replayed, through 'Chart->Replay Chart' and 'All Charts' in 'Accurate Trading System Back Test Mode'
2. In realtime


From what I've seen in the support board, what one should set in the settings of this study (in particular 'Data Copy Mode' and 'Bar Time Matching Method') are difficult to understand in practice, maybe because the docs are not so clear.
