DrawDots beyond Panel 1

[whitmark]

Thanks for all of the hard work and feature enhancements in NT7. The continuous contracts and memory consumption improvements alone make NT much easier to use on the ES when using tick-based bars.

I am testing a couple of simple indicators where #1 displays DrawDots as a show-me on price when price crosses an SMA and the other, #2 displays a DrawDot at the cross of a MACD and its signal liine.

• When testing indicator #1 on a multiple timeframe chart (ES12-09, 1100t, 233t, 150t), the DrawDots appear on the first dataseries panel 1 but not the other two timeframes in panels 2 and 3. Is this expected? (DrawOnPricePanel = true)
  
• When testing indicator #2 on a multiple or single timeframe chart, the DrawDot does not display at all under NT7, although these drawing objects display fine in panel 2+ under NT65. (DrawOnPricePanel = false)

These two issues are giving the same results under both NT7-32bit and -64bit platforms. I have not tested other drawing objects yet. I realize some of the drawing object signitures have been updated, but not the DrawDot method. I am testing using Windows 7 (RTM)

This is a bug which will be fixed with next update. Thanks for reporting.

To clarify on point 1, you will indeed not see the dots on the other panels. Only one of them.

Thanks Josh,

To clarify, consider this use case. Let's say I have a Swing showme indicator that places a DrawDot() one tick above/below the 5 strength high/low based on the standard Swing indicator logic. I open a chart and add a 15 min, 5 min, and 1 min dataseries to the chart. If I apply this Swing showme indicator to each dataseries, it will only display the showme DrawDots on the primary 15 min dataseries and not the others. Is this correct?

If so, is there a way for the indicator to detect that it has been applied to a non-primary dataseries and use an alternate form of visualization to identify the swing high/low?

Looks like we may need to advise users of drawing intensive indicators that the indicator will behave differently if applied to a non-primary dataseries.

Thanks,

Thanks for the clarification. I believe this is a bug. Thanks for reporting.
