Bars with same time stamp

[tquinn]

I have a simple indicator which marks bars where the Typical Price changes direction from the prior bar.

If the two bars involved in this pattern have the same time stamp, the Drawn marker is placed on the 1st bar rather than the actual bar where the condition is true.

Is this a bug or do I need to rethink my indicators?

Probably the latter, since it's expected to have multiple volume bars with same timestamp (always was).

Dierk,
I understand that volume bars can share a time stamp, always have. However I'm seeing behavior in 7b4 that I don't recall seeing in 6.5.

Relative to two bars sharing a time stamp:
When the 2nd bar is created it is a unique bar, indicated by:
1) It plots on a chart
2) It gets its own, and unique, bar number.
3) It values show on the Data Box, and Mini Data Box

Why then can I NOT draw an object on that 2nd bar?

When the 2nd bar is complete I issue this statement
DrawTriangleDown("DT"+CurrentBar,false,0,High[0],Color.Black);

But it works as this
DrawTriangleDown("DT"+CurrentBar,false,1,High[0],Color.Black);

Also with Snap Mode set to "Bar" I cannot select the 2nd bar in drawing.

There was a change in concept, since NT7 would have timestamps (and no longer bar index) as anchor points. This change was driven by
- supporting multi series charts and
- deficits we encountered with the legacy NT6.5 logic
