    Why is the angle of a ray change on two different charts?

    Drawing Objects have the 'Attach to' feature such that the User can select whether they are drawn only on the chart/Instrument on which they are created, selected other charts, All Charts, indicators etc.
    This does not work correctly in the case of the Ray - see attached screenshots.

    The Ray drawn on the first and second highs on the 1Min chart is 1 tick above the third high (1581.0 at 10:16EST) at 1581.1.
    This 'same line' on the 5Min chart created by 'Attach to: All Charts', at the same timepoint (the 10:15EST 5nin candle) is TWENTY ticks HIGHER at 1583.1
    On the 10Sec chart at 10:15:10 it is 1573.9, some SIXTY-TWO ticks LOWER.

    Accordingly price crosses the line on the 10Sec chart at 12:18:10sec at 1568.8. Price does not cross the line on the other two charts, doesn't come close, not by a country mile, and by which time the difference between the 5min and 10sec 'same line' is a staggering 130 ticks!

    I don't expect this behaviour is confined to only Rays or min/sec charts.
    It is unusable

    Kind regards

    Simple trig will show that with two anchors the same vertical spread on different charts with different horizontal spreads (bars) will create rays of differing angles. Obviously the extension from the second anchor point will intersect price at different times or not at all. You are looking for something that is an impossibility.

      I was just about to reply that its just simple math (but eDanny beat me), rise over run and is expected. Try this on any other charting platform and you will get the same result.

          Ah, so it is. My brain is somewhat fried and seeing demons where they do not live.
          Many thanks
