Post From: Problem with overlays

Thanks for your reply.

These are new charts I've been trying to build. Since the charts are all 1 sec charts, I use the Study Overlay - OHLC study. But the problem persists when I use the Study/Price Overlay study.

Using 1 sec charts, I'm multiplying ZF times 6J, then overlaying the result on to another 1 sec ZF chart. Then I apply a Kase study to the last ZF chart.

When I remove the Kase study, the problem seems to go away. So, I use an enhanced Renko study instead. That gives me this error:

Chart: ZF-201406-CBOT [M] 1 Sec #3 | ZF-201406-CBOT [M] 1 Sec #3 | Study: ZF-201406-CBOT [M] 1 Sec #1 Renko - BoxSize: 6 | Renko Chart Enhanced study: Error due to either data error or Brick Size too small. Stopping processing and skipping to next input bar. Try increasing the Brick Size. | 2014-03-23 19:48:05

That's after having increased the brick size up to 6 ticks.

So, I remove the Renko study and use a Tick Chart for the last ZF chart. That seems to be working OK. It's not what I wanted, but perhaps I can use it.

I have another setup that's been spiking down for a while, but I haven't investigated it. In this one, I create spread charts for the FOB, FYT, and ZOB spreads using the Difference (Single Line) study. Then I average those spreads and overlay the result on a 1 min ZF chart.

It just seems as though there's some problem with the data from overlays. But I have no idea what charts or other imformation might be helpful.
