Multi time-frame questions (potential bugs?)

[Stopped]

Hello,

I am using NT7 RC1.

A couple of questions regarding multi time-frame charts:

1. I would like to load 5 months of daily data and 5 days of 240 min data. When I do that the chart only shows 5 days of data, and does not allow me to shrink the X-axis any further to bring in more days to gain greater perspective. Is this intended/expected? Or is it a bug?
2. I am loading the RSI for both the daily and the 240 min charts, and keep them on the same panel. When I want to draw trendlines with the "Snap to OHLC" set to "Bar and Price" and the 240 min bar coincides with the daily bar, the trendline coordinate is drawn forcefully on the daily RSI even if I try to drag it to the 240 min RSI. This is probably a bug, is not it?

Please try to reproduce the problems discussed here using the following settings:

• Open new Chart
• Load up 5 months of daily data on the ES 12-10 using a candlestick chart. This is the primary series.
• Load up 5 days of 240 min data on the same instrument using a line chart
• Place the 240 min on Panel 1 and Scale Right.
• The chart would show 5 days of data (the minimum available of the two series).
• Try shrinking the X-axis to show more daily bars. You probably can't. Bug?

Additional steps for question 2:

• To overcome the problem in question 1 and get the full chart picture, expand the amount of 240 min data to 5 months
• Load up the daily RSI with 14 Periods and Average of 1 (so the two plots coincide)
• Load up the 240 min RSI with the same settings
• Place the 240 min RSI on the daily RSI panel (it should be Panel 2)
• Enable "Snap to OHLC" and set it to "Bar and Price" mode
• Try drawing a trendline on the 240 min RSI starting off on a bar which coincides with the daily RSI (i.e. on the last 240 min bar of a trading session)
• It will probably force you to place the trendline on the daily RSI. Bug?

Thanks for looking into this,

Hi Stopped, thanks for reporting in - I could not reproduce one as I could zoom out more than the 5 days both series would have, but I could see an issue in your bug 2 description - when I anchor the trendline on a low on the 240 min RSI for example I could not set it on the next corresponding low of this series, it would only offer to snap to the daily RSI series, correct?

Thanks,

Hi Bertrand,



Thanks for the quick reply.

1. Note my test involved 5 months of daily data and 5 days of 240 min data. Did you do the same? Or did you only load up 5 days of data on each series?
2. Not exactly. What you are finding is that one series would have a greater pull than the other depending on where you make your first click. That is ok. The problem I reported involves trying to set the second anchor of a trendline drawn on the 240 min RSI on the last bar of a session (where it would coincide with the daily bar). In those circumstances, the anchor would be forced to wrongly fall onto the daily RSI, not the intended 240 min RSI.

Many thanks,

Stopped

Correct, I tested with your exact same setup here 5 days and 5 months as you outlined - perhaps me not being able to reproduce is caused by using a custom build - for this please recheck in the next update if you would still be able to see this happening on your end.

I think I got the your second bug report covered, will ask development to take a look - thanks for the support.
