Y anchor point wrong while plotting object

[AndreaBhs]

Dear Support,

I get a strange error while trying to plot some object in my script:



As you can see the green dot have all the Y anchor point wrong.

My function is very simple and it is:

if (Close[0] > (High[1] + 4 * TickSize)
&& Close[1] > Open[1]
&& Close[2] < Open[2]
&& Time[1] != tempoBarra
&& ToTime(Time[0]) > 153000 && ToTime(Time[0]) < 220000)
{
Draw.Dot(this, "entry" + CurrentBar, true, Time[0], Close[0], Brushes.Lime);
tempoBarra = Time[1];
}

In the same chart I have another custom indicator that plot the value of swing as text and the y value is correct as you can see.

How can I fix this?

There are not log error message in log tab or in the ninjascript output

thank you, best regards

Andrea

Sorry, but I noted that using Calculation,OnEahTick also X value are wrong.
While using OnBarClose, only Y vlue are wrong

Hello AndreaBhs,

If Calculate is OnBarClose, I would expect the drawn object to appear at the close price of the bar.

If Calculate is OnEachTick, then the drawn object will appear at whatever the current bar price is at the time the condition was true. This could be at a different price than when the bar has finished building.

Does this also occur with Minute bars?

May I test the script on my end to confirm that this code is drawing those objects?

If so, remove all other code from the script except for the part that draws this dot.

Dear Chelesea B.

Thank you for your support

Attached my indicator to view.

Yes, this occur also with minute charts, but the problem is only for this indicator.
The all others that I did work correctly, I don't know about this

thank you, best regards

Hello AndreaBhs,

The script you have provided has Calculate set to .OnEachTick. May I confirm TickReplay is disabled?

In real-time the dot can be drawn anywhere within prices that were received while the bar was open. On a minute chart, the dot may not be at the close and could be anywhere within the high and low of a minute based bar. (With Renko this could be above, below, or in the middle of the bar as renko bars do not show all prices reached while the bar was open)

In historical data Calculate will be OnBarClose. Are you seeing the dot at the close of the bar in historical data?

When I have tested the script you have provided on a 1 minute chart with TickReplay disabled, I am seeing the historical drawing objects are at the close of the bar.

Below is a link to a video.

With the exact steps shown in the video are you getting different behavior?

Dear ChelseaB,
I solved problem by creating a new indicator.
Something was wrong in the previous, I renamed it and compile and it now work correctly.

thank you,
best Regards
