bugs report - custom DataSeries, vertical Lines

[saltminer]

Hi guys,
two bugs to report:

1) a legacy problem from 6.5 is still with is; it concerns creating a custom DataSeries in an indicator and then using SMA, or EMA (and possibly other moving average types) to the DataSeries. Results are baloney.
WMA seemed ok for some reason.
This was reported and acknowledged prior to ver 7's release, however I had cause to do such a technique last week and I had to build my own custom methods of the moving averages to get correct results. It would be great if this could be fixed once and for all.

2) Drawing vertical lines on the chart using DrawVerticalLine() from a strategy (and perhaps from an indicator, I haven't tested it) and then reducing the vertical size of the chart window to something very small makes Ninja freeze solid.

Cheers,

I'm curious on #1. Can you post some code to reproduce?

We just had a big discussion about this a couple weeks ago. It was mostly a misunderstanding in usage of a dataseries.

I built a simplified code to show you the bug and of course it works fine.
Yet my more complex example (which I can't post as it is part of a proprietary product) definitely DOES need the replacement of SMA and EMA as it doesn't function properly with the built-in methods.
If I can get a discrete simple to understand example I will post it.

p.s. do you have the link handy for that other discussion?
