Hello, I'm having issues with labels from other charts not showing correctly. See screenshots for details. For example today VWAP was at 4650.50 but on the overlay study it showed a different value. Today the difference was small but other times the difference could be a few points off...

To begin with, you have to keep in mind that the VWAP value that is going to be displayed is based on the bar that is at the end of the chart at that moment. So you would have to ensure that you were scrolled to the same position in both charts to ensure that you were seeing the VWAP value for the appropriate bar.

Second, in your particular setup, you have a displacement of 20 for the VWAP. The displacement is not copied over with the Study/Price Overlay, so lining up the bars gets very difficult. You would have to set the displacement to the same value in the Study/Price Overlay in order to line up the bars again.

The displacement is 20 in both chart settings.

Regarding the scrolling, I usually have it all the way to the end of the chart if that's what you mean. Not sure how that could impact the VWAP value though... Maybe i'm missing something

Since the Displacement is 20, you have moved the VWAP forward by 20 bars. Therefore, as those 20 bars forward of the last actual bar in the chart are scrolling off the end, the VWAP value will change to match the value at that location at the end of the chart.

Take a look at this on the chart that has the VWAP on it and see how the value changes as you scroll even when the last bar is not at the end of the chart.
