Most of the calculations are done based on Bars and not on the underlying data.

So if you have 30 minute bars and want a Moving Average of the Close with a Length of 3 (meaning 3 bars) the system will take the data for the Close of the 3 bars that need to be calculated and give an average of those bars.

There is no way within Sierra Chart to see what is occurring at every second, unless you have a 1 second bar period. But then you would not be able to get a 30 minute Moving Average with a length of 3.
For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service:
