Hello,
How come that my SMA(20) and my BuySellVolume indicators don't display any Price Marker on my chart although the Price Marker setting is "True" ?

Hi grd974,
Thank you for your post.
BuySellVolume does not use a marker. With that said, the marker for SMA should be showing.
Please try removing and then re-adding SMA and let me know if you see the same result.

Hi Kyle,
Thank you for your answer. I removed the SMA then re-added it but it does not help at all.
By the way, to say the truth I must let you know that price markers did show up yesterday on my screen but they are no longer seen by now.
I modified the code and compiled it then removed and re-added BuySellVolume but the price markers do not appear.
protected override void Initialize()
{
Add(new Plot(new Pen(Color.Red, 3), PlotStyle.Bar, "Bidvol")); // Values[0]
Add(new Plot(new Pen(Color.DarkGreen, 7), PlotStyle.Bar, "Askvol")); // Values[1]
// Add(new Plot(new Pen(Color.LightGreen, 6), PlotStyle.Bar, "TotVol")); // Values[2]
CalculateOnBarClose = false;
DisplayInDataBox = false;
PaintPriceMarkers = true;
PlotsConfigurable = true;
}

Hello grd974,
Thank you for the additional information.
Please open a new workspace (File > Workspaces > New Workspace) and add a new chart there within.
In the new chart, add SMA and let me know whether or not the price marker displays.
As mentioned, BuySellVolume will not plot a price marker.

Hi Kyle,
Unfortunately, creating a new workspace does not change anything (see file SMA20_NoShow.gif).
How come that the BuySellVolume indicator displays price markers with NT 6.5 (see file BSVolume_NT6.5.gif) ? What kind of modification would be needed so as to have price markers displayed ?

Hi grd974,
1.) SMA:

2.) BuySellVolume:
The standard version of BuySellVolume does not include price markers in version 6.5 either. In the image, you are using a different version of the indicator - 'BuySellVolumeBoth'

Dear Kyle,
I have the same problem with NT 7b20. Is there any workaround?
Best Regards,

Stephan,
Please open a new chart (File > New > Chart).
In the Data Series menu, set the template to '<None>', then click OK.
In the new totally default chart, add SMA.
Does the label plot?

no, as you can see, it is still not plotting

Hello Kyle,
I have noticed that the price markers disappear, regardless of indicator, symbol, timeframe, workspace, template etc. when an error arises in the log.
Everytime I noticed this, I could fix the error (most of the time a re-login or deleting of an corrupt indicator file) and everything was fine again.
Now, there aren't any errors in the log but nevertheless no price markers, except the price markers of a window which starts in a workspace automatically. On that window the price markers are OK. Even after a re-login, re-start. I can also add another indicator on that window and the price markers show up correctly for the new indicator as well. But when I open a new chart with that template, you guess it... no price markers. Seemingly only that window can withstand the error.
By the way, restoring didn't fix this issue too. Is there a "reset"-function for indicators or something else of that kind?
Thank you very much!

Serninja,
Thank you for your post.
Which indicators are effected in your case?
Are the default settings for the indicators changed when this occurs? (for instance, are custom colors put in to place?)

Hello Kyle,
thank you for your reply.
Like I wrote all indicators are affected. Regardless of default or custom settings too.
