Post From: need Renko bar with wicks!!

I downloaded the new version and still see a problem. I might be wrong, but I like renko bars because they are not based on time so a new bar changes after a set tic move in price. Candlesticks instead form a new bar after a set time interval. Anyways I attached chart with the two different versions, there is clearly a difference.
I noticed the same thing with the latest 1625 Pre-release. Since my thread was locked (after I was asked to try the recent changes), I guess I'll just chime in here. When Renko With Wicks was first removed you had to physically select Candlestick Bars to get the new Renko Bar and your old charts didn't update to it automatically. Then that was addressed with an update after it was brought to their attention and charts would default correctly and they fixed a bar width issue introduced with the new changes. NOW, with the latest update of 1625 and the re-introduction of Renko with Wicks, selecting Candle Stick Bars (as we were asked to try because this is a better implementation of Renko) now gets us a chart that looks like your second #....638 image. In our efforts to assist the SC Engineers I feel like it's sometimes taken as a personal attack on their programming skills and most of the time that is NOT the intent. Most of us just want to assist in identifying potential issues and getting them resolved as expeditiously as possible because we use this amazing software to trade the markets with real $$...not playing a video game. I know this is all time consuming and frustrating to change/implement/get feedback/fix/re-implement/more feedback etc but it is part of the process. I have a background in Software Development and Implementation from a user perspective and Change Management although I am not a programmer (I sometimes wish I were). Change management is part of that process and users and developers are often at odds during that process. I'm trying to keep a good attitude about this because there are some REALLY great features built into SC and I see the Dev team does listen in their own way and is really creative and hard working from the user perspective. I'm a newish user (2 months) to SC but have extensive experience with a variety of other trading platforms. SC's software is truly amazing for what you can accomplish with it and I've convinced a number of people that I trade with to convert to Sierra Chart in the past month based on my experiences with it and I tend to be the "local expert" in these issues. Locking a thread that I started "after" being asked to try and confirm changes, possibly because another user commented later is not a great way to get the user base to assist with product development. I'll slink back into the background for now, maybe longer term users with more posts get more weight when potential issues are identified. Thanks -- Scott Date Time Of Last Edit: 2017-10-20 13:50:42
