Daily Chart require a tick to update

[SirNeb]

I'm using NT 7 b16, I noticed that when a symbol/instrument change occur, with my multi-linked charts(minutes and daily), the daily chart after loading would not be accurate until the next tick has occurred. Only when the next tick occurs then the update would be correct.

So after a symbol switch, the daily would show perhaps a cached version of the chart, if no tick occurs in the next 5 seconds, it would still show a cached version. Once the tick occurs, then it would be accurate again. I have tried 3 options to remedy, these are changing the display intervals, manually reloading historical data and reloading ninjascripts, but they all doesn't fix this because it is always waiting for the next tick.

I think the implementation of "loading a chart" should have this automatically updated and I believe it is a bug that it doesn't do this. You normally wouldn't notice this if it's a highly volatile market or even just during market hours, so this might be hard to spot.

SirNeb,

Please describe what you mean by "not being accurate". What changes when the next tick arrives?

This is because data providers don't provide the current days data so we have to build it off the current day's level I data. So we have to take the current day high, open and low and wait for the next last trade to get the curent close of the bar. I will check with development to see if anything can be improved.

Josh - Not accurate meaning an older close of the bar for instance, I believe NT does cache the last time I looked at the chart so it had that previous information. Once a new tick occurs, it would jump to where the price tick had happened which is accurate.

Ray - Yes, that's what I figured too. I actually don't mind if I can do a manual refresh if need be, it just kind of sucks if I must have to wait for the next tick(whenever it happens to come). Thanks for the quick feedback!

Hi SirNeb !

We improved the method today's bar is build. The improvement will be available with the next update of NinjaTrader.

Thanks for bringing that up.
