Chart in strategy analyzer plots trades offset

[billr]

I have been getting an offset in the location of the trade marker plots on the Strategy Analyzer chart. It makes it difficult to read but not impossible. I am concerned that if this is malfuctioning, there may be something more serious happening in the background. Therefore my performance results are suspect.

By 'offset' I mean the markers and labels for each trade is plotted a few bars behind where they should be.

I use 7.1.2 but this has happened in all versions I have used.

Thanks.

Hello billr,

Please note that the Strategy Analyzer backtests your strategy using OHLC values only - it does not take intrabar data in notice. So fills are determined on OHLC information. Could this be causing the offset you mention?

No, it is a horizontal offset. markers and text are offset to the left by two bars. I have seen this happen to a greater extent also; say 8 bars or so. It is clearly a chart problem, not a calculation problem, because the markers are correct, just in the wrong location on the chart. Make sense?
