NT 6.5 VS 7 at Max Compression Chart Appearance

[NinjaTrader_JoshP]

Alfred,

This is with using slightly different data, but they look nearly identical to me.

Josh...your shots do look similar...

Toggeling back and forth between similar seconds chart shots in Irfanview...the max compression in 6.5 looks a bit higher than 7....??

Looking at a few more charts...the tick chart differences could be in the data servers perhaps...

Will see how things go...

Thanks...

Compression amount looks the same on my end. The screenshots I provided were max zoom out for both 6.5 and 7 and they netted relatively the same chart.

Here is another example...charts set full screen on a small monitor so they are the same pixel size...the time span and compression look different from the same high point...what could be the reason for this ??....all charts were set to max compression and bar width 1.

NT 6.5 on left below...NT 7 on right...

Zoom factor on 7 is significantly higher than 6.5. That is the only explanation I can give you. 7 has a whole extra 50 minutes being displayed.

Josh...will play around with this some more this weekend...

It is 6.5 that has an extra 50 minutes displayed in the last 2 screen shots.

Thanks for your time on this...

Josh...I would like to create a new database in 7...which file(s) do I rename ??

Thanks...

Things OK Now !!

Josh...did new databases in 6.5 and 7 this morning. Did a tick chart comparison...screen shots below...6.5 on left, 7.0 on right...seems to be an identical span in time now between the two. And the tick marks at price levels in 7 do not seem so pronounced now (splitting a few hairs here)...

Had gone back and forth between 6.5 & 7 so often the last couple of days ...perhaps that is what fouled up the databases...especially messed up in 7.

Thanks for all your time on this ! ...man...you guys must have a lot of patience !!

Glad it worked out. Thanks for reporting back.
