Hello, When using sc.GetContainingIndexForDateTimeIndex to obtain the corresponding index for data from another chart: For example, if the current chart uses 1-minute bars and the other chart uses 1-hour bars, the corresponding index for the 1-hour bars always represents the ending data when driving indicators on historical bars in the 1-minute chart. If it's real-time quotes, then the close of the 1-hour bar and the close of the 1-minute bar are consistent. I want to be as consistent as I am with backtesting or live data, what should I do? |

I have placed indicators in the 1-minute bar chart (ChartNumber 1), and within the indicators, I called sc.GetContainingIndexForDateTimeIndex(2, sc.Index); ChartNumber 2 is a 1-hour bar chart.
