Developing value area end of day not lining up with actual value area

[bfields]

Hi,

Please see screenshot attached (bottom). The blue dash is developing value area and the solid cornflower blue is the actual value area. You can see the day ended at 4783.50 value area circled in red with the day break marked with red line. My question is why did the developing value area (blue dash line) move all the way down at end of day away from the ending value area of 4783.50? The end of day value area should be the same as end of day developing value area.

Edit: Added second screenshot (top) of a day ending with no following day and it looks fine. Is the problem in the bottom screenshot just that the code moves the line down to continue it for the following day that started lower?

Hello bfields,

Thanks for your note.


Your info added in the edit would be correct! This line adjusts to be a continuous line, so the line has to account for what the next session's value area plot starts at. This means if if the plot starts significantly lower, the line juts down to meet the end point of the prior session and the start point of the current session
