Stop and think about what time frame expand is doing. If you are expanding a 5 min bar on a 1 min chart then the 5 min bar will not change until the bar has closed. What you will see is the value of the current bar flat for 5 minutes on the 1 min chart and only when that 5 min bar ends and the next one starts will you see a changed value, if there is one. The one minute bar will tell you what the condition of the new 5 min bar will be when the new 5 min bar begins.
If you add one more minute to the day all you do is start a new bar. If you want to go beyond normal hours use 24 hour days, View>Intraday>Show 24 hours trading.
