candles with zero volume are skipped, leading to problems

[kinderlich]

in the overnight session if there is no volume on a 1 minute candle it is skipped in the chart which leads to problems and distortions with analysis. As in trend lines will be distorted, and fib ellipses have odd behavior.


Here is TF (russell) where the left fib ellipse is supposed to be 20 min wide but since many bars are skipped its actually 41 minutes wide. Which is unexpected behavior .

So can I change a setting so that the 0 volume candles are charted?

If not can your developers fix this behavior? A 1 min time chart should definitely be 1 minute per bar. But in the displayed chart 20 bars is roughly 40 minutes which is bad/unexpected behavior.

kinderlich, thanks for the screenshot and oberservations - unfortunately the outcome is expected since NinjaTrader is eventbased and not time based - the closing tick of the current candle is the opening tick of the next one.

thanks, I'll try to work around it by having larger time intervals.
