Post From: 5m study overlay onto 1m chart - data different for bar-backtest versus sim/live

Replay works every time. The problem is with live (sim account) data.
OK we think we understand what you are trying to say. You will only have a consistency between real-time updating and Back Testing if you perform a Replay Based Back Test for all charts being referenced. A Bar Based Back test will never be the same for a couple of reasons.

Also in looking at this, when I log the 5 minute moving average (subgraph#[sc.Index]), it is not even giving accurate results. The value logged is not the same as shows on the tools value window.
This is because you are comparing values at different column indexes or the values in the Tool Values window are not up to date. You really should look at the Chart Values window. Otherwise, this is something you have to troubleshoot yourself. It is impossible for us to say exactly what the problem is. Only you can make that determination.
