Wrong calculation in "Fill Blanks With Last Value"?

Hi Support team,

I believe there is a mistake with the "Fill Blanks With Last Value" feature in the "Study/Price Overlay" study. Instead of getting the last value, it is getting the nearest value from the future. This could introduce some serious look-ahead bias for anyone doing a backtest analysis.

Hope you can help to fix this bug. Thank you.

We will look into this. There was a recent change related to this. Maybe it is causing an unexpected issue.

Could you also post an image of the chart showing what you are currently seeing from that study so we can have a better understanding of this.

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

It is a 1 minute chart with an overlay of a 30 min chart.

Could you provide us the Chartbook you are using so we can test this and see what we find.


If you can just provide us a Chartbook with just these two charts, that will make it easiest.

Here are the instructions to attach it:

We had a look at this, and the functioning is exactly as expected and designed.

We need a very specific description a particular example you are referring to. We can then explain this and see if there any settings which may help. There is no bug here.
