B9 Draw Tools & Orders With Fixed Scaling...

[Alfred]

Draw tools do not nearly work as well now in B9 as in 6.5 at bottom & tops of charts.

And another plug to be able to opt out of the current "fixed scaling" when placing orders at chart extremities....this is precisely the time and place you do not want to have to mess around with the very onerous limitations of "fixed scaling"....

Here is a short video on this...

Alfred,

Thanks for the video:

- Unfortunately I can't reproduce the issue(s) where you can't move the anchor point below the bar low in your video. It works for me as you want it to work thus there must be something different in your set up that might be preventing it to work as expected. Could you send me a workspace of a chart with the pitchfork on it via Mail To Support, attention RayD?

Ray...

Just sent a workspace per below...

Then just tried B9 on another machine...draw tools work OK there...can draw below bar low OK...will do a reinstall on the other machine this evening and see what happens...

Thanks...:)

Discovered my draw tool problem...had Snap Mode set to Price...guess one cannot draw below lowest bar price (or highest bar price) when set to that mode...perhaps that could be auto disabled for one instance at a time when one draws below the lowest low or above the highest high on a chart ??....this is a useful feature otherwise though....

Thanks...:)

Thanks for figuring that one out...I did not think to look at that myself but for sure would explain it.

[Alfred]

Ray....was wondering...when you have Snap Mode set to Bar..you can draw beyond the last bar on chart OK....you do not need a bar there to snap the end to in that area....maybe when Snap Mode is set to Price one might be able to draw below the lowest low & highest high in a similar manner ??...snapping to price within the chart itself is quite useful though...

Thanks for suggestion however, snap to price is based on valid data points on a y axis meaning, there are no "projected" data points above or below the extreme high/low. Bars is different since there are anticpated bars yet to come and thus we can project them into the future and provide a valid drop point for objects.
