Hi not sure what happened today, but I have this 2min footprint chart, where I had the prior day value area lines plotted and was working fine until today. Strange thing, when I change the timeframe on this exact same chart, to 3 or 5min, the previous day VAH & VAL lines plot OK. They dont plot when I change the timeframe to 1min too. The same study plots fine, on all of my other charts(including 1,2min timeframes)..,just this one chart developed this strange issue, all of a sudden. Have attached the .cht file, with nothing but the current price line and the previous value area line study, for your investigation. Something to do with Chart settings..,not sure. I must be missing something obvious! Thanks |

You have the option for "Chart >> Chart Settings >> Data Limiting >> Adjust Proportional with Bar Period" set to "Yes". Therefore, when you are going to a 1 minute or 2 minute bar period, the amount of data loading is becoming small enough that the previous days data is not available and therefore the lines are not drawing since there is no data to derive them from. You would either need to set the number of days to load to something large enough to cover the holidays and weekends with the smallest timeframe you would use, or set the option to "No". Refer to the following: Chart Settings: Adjust Proportional With Bar Period (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Data Limiting >> Load Data Limiting Method: Days to Load menu) For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
