range bar color still wrong

[ATI user]

Can you please create a new workspace that consist only of an ES 12-11 chart. Make sure all other workspaces are closed. Run the Market Replay connection once more and check if the incomplete bars persist.

same result

'untitled' workspace only....one chart only

Do the incomplete bars persist when you select a Candlestick chart style instead of HiLo?

If so, I suggest to try an uninstall/reinstall of NinjaTrader and check if this will make a difference. You will save all settings and data.

Uninstall NinjaTrader 7 via Windows Control Panel-->Programs and Features.
Clear your browser cache and download and install NinjaTrader 7.0.1000.8 from the link below.

rather than uninstall, I would rather wait for next NT update...same difference?

Ok, please let me know if the issue persists when using the next NinjaTrader update.

release 9 still has same bug

my code in first post of this thread was wrong...needs to be

// set barcolor workaround NT range bar bug
if ( BarsPeriod.Id == PeriodType.Range )
{ if (Close[0]==High[0]) BarColor = Color.Green; else BarColor = Color.Red; }

Could you please tell me if the incomplete bars persist when you select a Candlestick chart style instead of HiLo.

Please a try fresh new downloaded Market Replay data and check if it will make a difference. Market Replay data is saved at (My) Documents-->NinjaTrader 7-->db-->data. Delete the "20111107" folder.

Download new Market Replay data at Control Center-->File-->Utilities-->Download Replay Data. Check if the incomplete bars remain.

sorry...in my last post I was only referring to range bar color

checking the incomplete bar issue, release 9 has fixed that

Hello ATI user,

We color bars green when Close >= Open, and red when Close < Open. Your screenshot seems to fit with these conventions. Are you expecting something different than this or is there another example that doesn't color according to those conventions?

sorry...forgot to attach the screenshot

Hello ATI user,

Good to hear the incomplete bars are resolved.

Unfortunately our range bars can have the same price for the Open and Close. Development informed this is expected and correct behavior.

The HiLo bar style only has two color options, so such a range bar will be either green or red. If you select the Candlestick bar style, you would see bars as in the screenshot.

If you check the Open of the next bar (the bar after the blue dotted bar), there is no way the Open tick will be added in the blue dotted bar since the range is already complete. This results in the same price for the Open and Close.

if you take Close==Open out of it then the color will be correct...i.e. it is not important where the bar closed relative to the open but rather where it closed relative to the high...if it closed at the high, then green, else, for a range bar, if it closed at the low then red

{ if (Close[0]==High[0]) BarColor = Color.Green; else BarColor = Color.Red; }
