Lines do not stay on price when switching time frames

[TraderJesse]

Good Morning

When drawing lines on a chart going from bar to bar using snap mode bar and price then changing time frames the line is off the peak or low when the chart time frame is changed.

Example: Opened a Monthly of the ^SP500, set draw mode to bar and price and draw low to high peaks then switch to a weekly chart. The price on the highs and lows of the lines are correct but not on the bar in which the high or low occured.

I get the same results when doing this on minute charts.

I experience the same, however, I believe this to be the result of how drawing objects are anchored. This may be more visibly apparent if you draw the object first on the weekly chart and then view it on the monthly chart.

The price level is consistent however the spacing of the bars does not represent the same amount of time through different time frames, therefore, the timestamps appear different on the charts

Another way to think of this is that a monthly bar contains 4 or 5 weeks. A weekly bar contains just 7 days. The high of a monthly bar may be in week 2 of that particular month which would change the time anchor but not the price when viewing the object you have drawn on the monthly chart on your weekly chart.

I will be testing this further and will also consult with the Product Management Team and I will follow up with more information.
