[Programming Help] - Study/Price Overlay and Multiple Bar Volume Charts, tips ?

Hi everyone !

I'm building a trading system based around multiple bar volume charts. I take my positions on the smallest volume chart according to what studies on the (four) other charts provide me (here i'm using moving average like studies to give me signals). To get the data from the source charts I use the Price/Study overlay. I have an issue where at the end of a given bar, i get into a trade even though the conditions given by the sources chart are not aligned (anymore). This is probably due to the different update of the various charts and the nature of the Study/Price overlay.

Any tips on making sure my trading system acts only if all the sources charts are updated ? (such that it respects my strategy as it would if using AutoTrade Replay BackTest)
What factors could enter into play ? Study calculation time ? etc..




Currently I have the Trading System on Very Low Precedence, my trading system takes position only when the bar is closed, the moving average like study on the source chart have no restriction on its calculation. Settings of the Study/Price are attached.

Thanks for you help,

See posts #5 and #7 for my comments on this anomaly of the Study/Price Overlay study:
MACD Study/Price overlay inaccurate for signal conditions on lower time frame chart
