Multi-TF Indicators & Incomplete Historical Reload

[j2496i]

When using multi-timeframe indicators, that Add() additional timeframes in the Initialize() section, I am experiencing an issue where 'Reload All Historical Data' only reloads data for the timeframe native to the chart.

An example is as follows:

Chart = $EURUSD(1min)

Indicator uses Add(PeriodType.Tick, 40)

So there are 2 different PeriodTypes involved. The native PeriodType is Minute, whereas the secondary PeriodType is Tick.

When I perform 'Reload All Historical Data', only the Minute data is reloaded and refreshed. In order to get the Tick data up to date, I need to open a tick chart separately (or manually add a tick-based dataseries to the chart) and refresh.

Is there a way around this?

Thanks

j2496i, unfortunately this is a known limitation here of the framework, the workaround would be reloading the data for the series manually or adding it to the chart as well like you noted.

We track this in our product enhancement lists as well under #125.

a useable workarrond is using the same calculation base datas for the primary chart and all used additional dataseries.

Your can use primary timed chart only with seconds... a "60sec timeframe" as alternate to the currently 1min chart. Sec-Charts use and reload tick datas and your additional 40tick dataseries work correctly

ATMService - thank you!

Perfect workaround.
