I can snap Line to the closest bar's High/Low just by pressing Shift key while placing the line on the chart. But for some reason this behaviour occasionally changes so it's the Bar's Open/Close where the Snap happens to. How/where I can define the way the Shifted Snap will work ? I tried to find answer from the help pages but unfornately my eyes were not able to catch this information... btw. Tools/Tool Settings/Include OpenClose in AutoSnap is UNchecked.

There is not a way to change this.

What is the logic behind it ? When the Open/Close is used and when the High/Low ? Date Time Of Last Edit: 2018-09-05 12:32:02

It will be based upon whichever bar value is nearest the drawing point which is being set.

For some reason I have 2 different charts where the other one will snap allways to high/low point no matter is the drawing point closer to open/close or not. So it's using high/low points continuously. The other chart will work exactly the opposite it's using open/close points continuously. I'll try to understand the procedure how to reproduce this and will return to you later. |

I have an indicator which plots the price bars on the chart (default price bars are "blank"ed) and when this indicator is *not* set as a "Displays as Main Price Graph" it occasionally will use Open/Close points. I cannot find out the rule for this but it happens time to time. Then when the indicator is set as a main price graph the Snap will allways use the High/Low points. I can live with this so "problem" solved. Thank you. |
