I have noticed lately, that when a bar lasts more than 5 min (Renko, Vol, etc)and finally It closed the duration of the bar is 5 minutes. I mean if the duration of the bar is less than 5 min the time that is displayed is the real. If the duration is more tan 5 min the time that is displaed when the bar closes is 5 min.

Example:

real time 3:08 displayed time when bar closes 3:08

real time 13:08 displayed time when bar closes 5:00

thanks

When you refer to the time that is "displayed" what specifically are you referring to?

All of this is very vague from our perspective.

The time that took to complete the creation of the bar (open to close). I mean in a chart based on time, for example in a 60 min chart the time to créate a bar is 60 min. But when you have volumen charts, renko charts the time to créate each bar is variable. So when the time to créate a bar is more than 5 min for example 9 min and I want to check how long did it take to form that bar the time is 5 min no 9 min.
Thanks

Provide us an image of the chart showing this.

Add the Bar Duration study to the chart.

Use the Tools >> Arrow tool to draw an arrow pointing to that bar and explain how you are coming to this conclusion.

Provide an image of the chart, by following these instructions:

You are providing too many screenshots and it is not helpful or appreciated.

We do not know how you are coming to the conclusion that a bar time length is 5 minutes when it actually is not.

We understand the reason for the problem now. You are looking at the Bar Time Duration study.

There is an issue with this when the chart bars are not based upon a fixed amount of time. We will correct this in the next release.
