Time of day on compressed charts

[jamesaq]

The time of day display filter on compressed charts seems a little too sensitive.

I don't mean to complain, but it seems like the program should be able to show time of day on charts such as this. (attached)

Can anything be done? I don't have exact numerical settings for the chart, just trying to convey a general sense.

Secondly, it would be nice if the cursor date could be displayed more visibly along with time on the cross-hair cursor but that's another matter. I have a hard time finding the date sometimes.

Trying to match your chart, it comes up alright. Please advise how to reproduce. Thanks.

Josh,

It looks like you've duplicated the number of bars pretty closely.

I'm using a custom session template that covers the overnight hours so it happens at different places.

Using the CME US Index Futures RTH session template as you appear to have try scrolling back to between Feb 12 (2/12) and Feb 17 (2/17) and it should happen.

I see now it doesn't happen at every scroll position along the horizontal axis.

Thanks.

I believe you may be simply running into an issue when viewing the axis after a bank holiday. This should be addressed already in the next version.

[jamesaq]

OK, good. Thanks.

Josh,

It still happens in Beta 10. It does seem to happen just around the holiday like you pointed out.

It might not be of consequence.

Unfortunately I was not able to reproduce. Please be sure you start afresh with new data and everything.

[jamesaq]

It was a data glitch. Sorry.

I deleted all .ntd files in the db sub folders, and it works now.

Thanks.
