View Full Version : candle stick plotting error with wicks

with my cs running in 7 some wicks are plotted higher/lower than the hi/lo of the bar

note in databox hi of bar is 1707.25 and the close is 1707.00....the thick wick ends at 1707.00 ...however there is a false extended wick that goes all the way up to 1708.50

when I refresh the ind/chart, the false wicks are gone

the same code in 6.5 is correct so there is some Draw method diff with 7 causing the problem I expect

looks like a draw object that is not being removed.....however I am not plotting the bar/wicks....only plotting text beside the actual bar. i.e. lo>=<hi

Are you saying that this does not happen as your indicator is NOT running?

I suggest the following:

Run identical charts, one with your indicator and one without. Do the false wicks occur on both charts?

the false ticks only occur in the chart with my ind running

which is why I thought it is due to a change in Draw methods between 6.5 and 7

again, the same code runs perfectly in 6.5

The we would need a reproducible scenario. A stripped down indicator that we could use here would be great.

this chart shows the object plotted in the same vertical axis as the price bar however several ticks below the price range of the bar

note the dialog says my cs is drawing it...however I have no code that draws such vertical lines

will work on stripping down code to send

How about double clicking on that object, the properties dialog will come up. Is that a Vertical Line object or something else?

it is a vertical line object...see pics

line object starts at 9767 and ends at 9777

data box shows bar hi at 9772 and lo at 9765

Would then need a stripped down indicator so we can reproduce here.

problem solved

NT7 DrawLine method has been changed re start and stop time parameters...i.e. 6.5 method parameters in order from end to start while 7 parameters now in order of start to end....more logical

Thanks for letting us know.
