Bug in "Indicator on Indicator" ?

[shawnh]

Hi, I placed a multi-instrument indicator on stocks CSX and NSC. The indicator is KDoren's "Ratio" indicator of the ratio of one stock price to another. That was all fine - see attached image "BEFORE". There's also a 14-day SMA within that Ratio indicator panel too - that is fine.
I then wanted to add an RSI indicator on the green line Ratio plot ("Indicator on indicator"). After I did so, it completely knocked the 14 day SMA of the ratio (orange line) out of whack (see attached image "AFTER"). Furthermore, the new RSI indicator looks to be identical to the Ratio. That shouldn't be.

Thanks
Shawn

NT7's indicators-on-indicators is buggy and not well thought out. I've noticed a few issues that I'll write up when I get a chance.

One issue I have seen is that things don't seem to work right if you reference a data series that isn't displayed on the chart. So if you display the NSC daily data series, it should work better (see picture attached).

I've also attached an updated ratio indicator, it should be more robust than the previous one.

Hi Shawn,

We will look into it and get back to you at a later point in time.

Edit: This should be a bug and will be fixed in the next version.

Thanks for the updated ratio indicator KDoren.

Cheers

I have all indicator on indicator messed up when I connect to Replay (there are more occasions but replay is the most obvious one)...

Messed everything - they lose the timeseries and reset to primary dataseries, colors reset, panes become No 1 which messes the price bars etc...

so much stuff that I didnt even want to report it..

Unfortunately the "indicator on indicator" code (still) is flawed with NT7B8. We are working on it. Thanks for your patience and understanding.
