For real-time data (not historical, which is always marked at end bar position), the option is:

User Preference>Real-time Data>Stamp the last valid bar within the bar location.

This is actually how 2.9X behaves. We change the behavior because mix time frame

indicators and formula becomes ambigious using this plot style.

Subject: [neoticker] HLine plot on multi time frame charts

The attached screenshots show a 3 plot Hline indicator derived from a monthly bar on a daily chart. These are the thick purple lines. OK.png shows the indicator plotting fine. If you scroll a little to the left shown in noplot.png the Hlines disappear. This seems to be because the current monthly bar is now off the page. The Hline should still plot but to the edge of the chart. Needless to say I don't have the screen real estate to plot quarterly and yearly levels as I would like.

As I mentioned before it would be useful to have an option to have the higher time period bar plot at the location of the first lower time period bar. I think this is how the first series will plot isn't it ? This is more of a request than the hline issue which I think is a problem.

I have just discovered one more slight wrinkle. With the setting you describe below the HLines display as I would expect unless if you displace them right they still disappear unless you scroll the chart to the left. It looks as if the the displace setting does not take into account the stamp last valid bar setting. I can provide a couple of charts if this isn't clear.

Disappearing is design behavior. If the bar that the indicator depends on is

not visible, the indicator will be hidden.

charts show daily bars with purple hlines based on a hidden monthly bar.

chart 1 is displacement 0 it shows the lines correctly for this month painting with the daily bar. Notice the short lines for today

chart 2 is displacement 1 it should show last months lines painting with today's daily bar, it does not.

chart 3 is displacement 1 also but scrolled over to the left. Last months lines now paint correctly with today's bar.

it appears if you displace to the right the indicators based on the higher time period bar ignore the setting Stamp the last valid bar within the bar location

The behaviour when not displaced is fine. Put another way if you displace the indicator it behaves as if "always stamp the end time of the bar duration" is selected even if it is not. I hope I have explained well enough it is tricky to get across.

I hope I get it right.

The principle is if the series's time stamp is not visible, then the part of the series

is not visible.

Displacement does not change this principle. Otherwise it is possible to use displacement

to look ahead.

We will see if some feature can be put in for 3.1. For example, allow drawing of indicator

Hi Louis,

Ok I am understanding the principle better at least but I think it is flawed. Not displaying data if a bar is not actually visible is really not the answer! This prevents lots and lots of valid data being displayed particularly if it is a bar in the past. Maybe it was really done to improve display efficiency or something? Whatever the reason valid data is often not displayed.

For example if I display daily bars from 5 years ago and monthly indicator (based on a month 5 years ago) flashes on and off as the month bars scroll into and out of view, this is clearly not right. This best shows the problem but there are lots of other examples a couple more follow:-

Positive displacement moves an indicator to the right - this means past values of the indicator are displayed today, not future values at all! I could understand if it was a negative displacement. (Why not allow users to look ahead if they know the risks anyway? That's what the NT pivot indicators do - they display levels on today's chart based on yesterdays OHLC). If I want levels plotted

I can display things if I have lots of white space on the right edge of my chart and not if I don't?

Apart from this I think there is a bug in so far as the part of the code that checks the new "stamp last bar" setting is not called if your plot is displaced. The bar IS VISIBLE as it is stamped at the beginning. Or possibly NT is ignoring the displacement when it is checking to see if it is visible. Better to just take out the check!

Anyway thanks for bearing with me this far :-)

Cheers,

Nick

I have a feeling that this may have been answered before apologies if so.

I'd like to have 24 hour charts but have them start at 9.30 and go round to 8.59:59 the next day. There appears to be a check in NT that prevents start time being less than end time. Is there anyway around this ? Could it be removed and just use "24 hour modulo arithmetic".

Alternatively would it be possible to have 'from' used as the start and end time when 24 hours is selected rather than midnight? In particular I would like tick bars to re-set at 4.15 eastern rather than midnight so I can duplicate a globex emini session.

Another request that I know others have mentioned. It would be nice to have vertical lines and or zones that could be placed at certain points in the day to help visually identify the particular part of the day you are in. (lunch time doldrums for example).

Many Thanks,

Nick

There are lots of styles that could be useful.

One in particular that I would use extensively is a combination Region and Hline. Region Hline if you like. This would be the same as region except rather than having the bound formed by sloping lines they would be formed by Hlines. It would also be useful to have a different fills as by there nature regions occupy a lot of chart space. What I am thinking is some sort of opaque fill maybe dots or hatching for example.

Other sorts of things that would be useful would dotted /dashed lines. And different symbols e.g.. circular dots, up - down - right and left side arrows. Or possibly and character or even string. I realise this would require interface additions but just food for thought.

I create a brand new 1 day ES chart with even spacing. I then add a 1 weekly es series and get the error

"must be a true multiple to the time frame of the first data series (1 Daily)"

A week is a multiple of 5 days so I am guessing NT doesn't know there are 5 days in a week at this point? This isn't too much of a problem as a time based chart plots pretty much the same as bar driven chart at this point.

Ok I am understanding the principle better at least but I think it is flawed. Not displaying data if a bar is not actually visible is really not the answer!  This prevents lots and lots of valid data being displayed particularly if it is a bar in the past. Maybe it was really done to improve display efficiency or something? Whatever the reason valid data is often not displayed.

For example if I display daily bars from 5 years ago and monthly indicator (based on a month 5 years ago) flashes on and off as the month bars scroll into and out of view, this is clearly not right. This best shows the problem but there are lots of other examples a couple more follow:-

Positive displacement moves an indicator to the right - this means past values of the indicator are displayed today, not future values at all! I could understand if it was a negative displacement. (Why not allow users to look ahead if they know the risks anyway? That's what the NT pivot indicators do - they display levels on today's chart based on yesterdays OHLC). If I want levels plotted

I can display things if I have lots of white space on the right edge of my chart and not if I don't?

Apart from this I think there is a bug in so far as the part of the code that checks the new "stamp last bar" setting is not called if your plot is displaced. The bar IS VISIBLE as it is stamped at the beginning. Or possibly NT is ignoring the displacement when it is checking to see if it is visible. Better to just take out the check!

Anyway thanks for bearing with me this far :-)

Cheers,

Nick

I hope I get it right.

The principle is if the series's time stamp is not visible, then the part of the series

is not visible.

Displacement does not change this principle. Otherwise it is possible to use displacement

to look ahead.

We will see if some feature can be put in for 3.1. For example, allow drawing of indicator

without this restriction.

charts show daily bars with purple hlines based on a hidden monthly bar.

chart 1 is displacement 0 it shows the lines correctly for this month painting with the daily bar. Notice the short lines for today

chart 2 is displacement 1 it should show last months lines painting with today's daily bar, it does not.

chart 3 is displacement 1 also but scrolled over to the left. Last months lines now paint correctly with today's bar.

it appears if you displace to the right the indicators based on the higher time period bar ignore the setting   Stamp the last valid bar within the bar location

The behaviour when not displaced is fine. Put another way if you displace the indicator it behaves as if "always stamp the end time of the bar duration" is selected even if it is not. I hope I have explained well enough it is tricky to get across.

Disappearing is design behavior. If the bar that the indicator depends on is

The motivation is people training on historical data wouldn't peek into

I have just discovered one more slight wrinkle. With the setting you describe below the HLines display as I would expect unless if you displace them right they still disappear unless you scroll the chart to the left. It looks as if the the displace setting does not take into account the stamp last valid bar setting. I can provide a couple of charts if this isn't clear.

For real-time data (not historical, which is always marked at end bar position), the option is:

User Preference>Real-time Data>Stamp the last valid bar within the bar location.

This is actually how 2.9X behaves.  We change the behavior because mix time frame

Subject: [neoticker] HLine plot on multi time frame charts

The attached screenshots show a 3 plot Hline indicator derived from a monthly bar on a daily chart. These are the thick purple lines. OK.png shows the indicator plotting fine. If you scroll a little to the left shown in noplot.png the Hlines disappear. This seems to be because the current monthly bar is now off the page. The Hline should still plot but to the edge of the chart. Needless to say I don't have the screen real estate to plot quarterly and yearly levels as I would like.

As I mentioned before it would be useful to have an option to have the higher time period bar plot at the location of the first lower time period bar. I think this is how the first series will plot isn't it ? This is more of a request than the hline issue which I think is a problem.

I have a feeling that this may have been answered before apologies if so.

I'd like to have 24 hour charts but have them start at 9.30 and go round to 8.59:59 the next day. There appears to be a check in NT that prevents start time being less than end time. Is there anyway around this ? Could it be removed and just use "24 hour modulo arithmetic".

Alternatively would it be possible to have 'from' used as the start and end time when 24 hours is selected rather than midnight? In particular I would like tick bars to re-set at 4.15 eastern rather than midnight so I can duplicate a globex emini session.

Another request that I know others have mentioned. It would be nice to have vertical lines and or zones that could be placed at certain points in the day to help visually identify the particular part of the day you are in. (lunch time doldrums for example).

Many Thanks,

Nick

There are lots of styles that could be useful.

One in particular that I would use extensively is a combination Region and Hline. Region Hline if you like. This would be the same as region except rather than having the bound formed by sloping lines they would be formed by Hlines. It would also be useful to have a different fills as by there nature regions occupy a lot of chart space. What I am thinking is some sort of opaque fill maybe dots or hatching for example.

Other sorts of things that would be useful would dotted /dashed lines. And different symbols e.g.. circular dots, up - down - right and left side arrows. Or possibly and character or even string. I realise this would require interface additions but just food for thought.

Send Email

Even bar spacing is useful only for tick bars (5-ticks, 100-ticks, etc).

For time bars(5-min, 1-day, 1-week, etc), the bars are already even

bar spaced. So even bar space is simple add unnecessary load

to the chart.

Also, 1-week in NeoTicker <> 5 days. It depends on trading time

and holiday settings. So lining up a fixed number of days to mix

daily and weekly time frame will not work.

I create a brand new 1 day ES chart with even spacing. I then add a 1 weekly es series and get the error

"must be a true multiple to the time frame of the first data series (1 Daily)"

A week is a multiple of 5 days so I am guessing NT doesn't know there are 5 days in a week at this point? This isn't too much of a problem as a time based chart plots pretty much the same as bar driven chart at this point.

Seems to be another odd thing using displacement. The two charts show a pair of blue plots. The first is undisclosed the second displaced by 1 it seems to be displace by 1 and a few bars.

BTW I think I have noticed that where the bar is stamped seems to make no difference to displacement behaviour or if a plot is or is not displayed. Sorry to have introduced that 'red herring' into the matter.

and I've been monitoring the 20030404 Disk Cache tick file for the last
hour and it has not increased in size.

Thanks,
Randy Dick

should be less than an hour, and also on exit of NeoTicker.

the data is in RAM and if NT exit, the ticks saved in ram cache
will be saved.

remember than if and only if a symbol is in RAM cache and it is
set to auto load ticks would you have tick data saved from RAM cache.

so check if you are collecting ticks for those symbols by
verifying the RAM cache listing of symbols.

Lawrence,

I used the NT\Cache Manager\Ram Cache dialog to confirm that I had the symbol in RAM Cache during my test. I also had it set to "Insert as Locked symbol", "Auto Cleanup" disabled and "Auto Save" enabled. I'm using a time chart to load the symbols.

Are the above settings to sufficient to get the RAM saved?

I'm not sure which dialog I need to review to set the "Auto Load Ticks" feature that you referred to below.

I reviewed my NT\Cache Manager\Ram Cache\Options\Days To Load dialog and none of the Preload boxes are checked for Tick, Minute, or Daily, but when I read the help file it indicated that this dialog didn't apply to Time Charts, so I ignored the settings. Are these the settings you're referring to as set to "Auto Load Ticks"?

Thanks,

Randy

OK, I was able to load my group in RC4, but I had to pre-load my symbol list. Once I did this, my group was able to load. I have the pre-load list loaded into a quote sheet and that seemed to be where it crashed.

On another note,

I have seen this several times. My tick charts look different when loaded pre-market vs during market hours. The difference is that I get big gaps between session break lines. In the pre-market load, I dont get the gap, I get a consistent trade. During market hours, the same symbol and chart will load with a gap at session break. See attached chart.

Subject: Tick Indicator in Dynamic Grid rdeux2
Send Email

1/2 the problem has been fixed. I have three cells, each with the tick indicator using 3 different TICK data series of the same instrument. All of the indicators are in sync, meaning they initiated at the same time and counted properly. Where its incorrect is that its not correctly showing me what % of the current tick bar is complete. For example, I have a 70 tick bar chart. The tick indicator in the grid will rollover from 70 to 1, at which time I expect a new bar to start, but this is not true. To get around this problem, I am going to use the same indicator, but plot it on the chart and turn visibility OFF so all I see is a floating marker count from 1-70. When this float marker rolls over, the new bar is started. I would like the grid cell to operate identical to this.

Thanks
