It depends on what you are wanting to do exactly.

The Study/Price Overlay has an Input for "Data Copy Mode". This can be either "Use Earliest Value from Corresponding Timeframe" or "Use Latest Value from Corresponding Timeframe".

When set to "Use Earliest Value from Corresponding Timeframe", you will get the earliest data for the corresponding time, meaning you would get the first 5 minute bar from the source chart. Conversely, if you use "Use Latest Value from Corresponding Timeframe", then you will get the last 5 minute bar that fits into that 30 minute timeframe, or the most recent bar for the current time.

As such, using "Use Latest Value from Corresponding Timeframe" will continue to update on the current 30 minute bar as changes are occurring in the 5 minute source chart.

Also, be sure to set the Input for "Bar Time Matching Method" to "Containing Match" or you will not get the exact match up of bars within the 30 minute period.
