Steps to reproduce: 1) Open a daily chart (I am using CSIQ but probably any stock will do) and draw a VbP from 2/11 to 2/21. 2) Enable "drawing enclosing outline" to see where the VbP begins and ends, and make sure that the SC option to select a profile with a click is enabled. The image should look something like this: http://screencast.com/t/DPZKdMsp 3) Select the profile and drag the start date from 2/11 to 2/10. The image now looks something like this: http://screencast.com/t/2UD6pa0Ani Notice that the profile is beginning one day earlier, on 2/7, whereas it should begin on 2/10. If you now drag the start date back to 2/11, the profile will actually still begin 1 day early, on 2/10. So once it gets out of sync, it appears to stay that way. You can observe the same behavior by loading a weekly chart, and drawing a profile over the last 2 bars, and notice that it in fact includes the last 3 bars. Perhaps this has something to do with the profile starting on a Monday, but I will let you determine the cause. I have confirmed that the problem does not exist on an intraday chart. For example, when setting a chart to 1440m and having a period of "1 day", the above procedure does not produce the error. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2014-02-23 19:45:31
