The calculations are done correctly.

You need to understand that studies work from the bar data. In each column in the chart, a study is not going to use data from a portion of a bar, and then do another calculation starting on that same bar and use a portion of that bar. So in other words, studies are very structured according to chart bars.

At each chart column, a study will use the data from a bar, and at the next chart column, the study will use the data from the next bar. There are not 2 independent calculations occurring at the same chart bar for a specific Subgraph in the study.

If there are two separate calculations, this would be 2 separate subgraphs. Each one of the calculations, such as the mean, is an individual Subgraph . The subgraph can only hold one value at each chart column.

So what you are asking for, is not even technically possible according to the standard architecture of the program without a confusing or messy implementation. this should be apparent to you.

No one has ever complained about this. And if they do, what they are asking for is totally inconsistent with what should be expected with what they see on the chart.

We did develop the functionality according to your specifications but you also have an undisclosed specification that you want for example a 10 minute statistics calculation on chart bars that do not evenly divide into the 10 minutes. However, there is a solution here.

Create another chart with bars that evenly divide into the calculation time, and then overlay the results to the chart with the Range bars or whatever other type of variable timeframe bars that you are using.

This can be done with the Study/Price Overlay study. Give it a try.

If you want to leave, that is fine. It does not matter to us. The 50 USD will remain on your account.

Math stats is not a doll to play with.
OK, but if you are using chart bars that do not evenly fit into 10 minutes, then you create the inconsistency with the actual output time period of the calculations. This is not our problem but a user created problem which should be apparent to the user.
