Hi,

I have a 1-min candlestick chart with a 45 period EMA study. I overlayed it in my ladder (also set to 1-min) but the prices don't match up with the original chart. Please see the attachment.

Set the Input for "Match Source Bars to Destination Bars" to "No".

The Trading DOM does not have a concept of bars, therefore, by setting the above to No, it will just pick up the latest value an display it. Refer to the following:

Changing it to 'No' didn't work.

After I made the Displacement 0, then it started working correctly. Not sure why that would affect the price but it seems to be working now.

Displacement specifies that the data is offset by the amount of the displacement. For what you were doing in particular, having a displacement would mean that you would not see the current bar data, but the data from the bar however far back your displacement is set to. Refer to the following:
