NT 8.0.6 Bug Drawing Tools Dot

[Camdo]

There is a bug in NT 8.0.6 Drawing Tools. I have tested only the Dot tool.

The issue is that the dot is displayed at the wrong location if a second bar series is added.

Here are the test samples showing the code and results:
1. Without AddDataSeries Dot displays correctly.



2. Introduce AddDataSeries 1 tick, Dot displays incorrectly.

the dot is displayed at the wrong location if a second bar series is added.
AddDataSeries 1 tick, Dot displays incorrectly.

If you want the dot below the low of the primary data series, try this:

Draw.Dot(this, "tag1", true, 0, [B]Lows[0][0][/B] - TickSize, Brushes.Red) ;

Hello Camdo,

In your code you are not checking to see which BarsInProgress is processing. This means that this code is run when both series trigger OnBarUpdate.

This means each time it updates for the secondary series (the 1 tick series), the Low[0] will reference that ticks low not the low of the primary series.

As tradesmart has mentioned, Low, Close, Open, High, etc will reflect the currently processing series and will not reflect the primary series.

From the help guide:
"An ISeries<double> type object. Accessing this property via an index value [int barsAgo] returns a double value representing the price of the referenced bar."

I recommend that you add a BarsInProgress check

And use the BarsInProgress index with the Lows for the series you are wanting.
