Time Line Study in Range Charts

Since the introduction of "Allowed Range For Match In Minutes" in the Time Line settings, it has become impossible to get an accurate fix on the first bar to appear after a designated time when viewing a Range Chart. Occasionally, the Time Line prints one bar early. This seems to apply when the false bar opens very close in time to the true bar. Changing the Allowed Range For Match has no effect, as a Range Bar may start at any minute. However, the Horizontal Line at Time tool still correctly identifies any given start time. Is it possible to optionally disable the Allowed Range for Match in Minutes feature in the Time Line tool, so that the output will always match the Horizontal Line at Time output? |

Why not increase it to a higher value? That effectively disables it. In which case a nearest match is going to be used.

Engineering: Your suggestion (which I mention does not work in my original post) will always provide a nearest match. And that is the problem. I require an absolute match to identify the first bar to open at or after the entered time. The Time Line code previously had this as the default setting. The Horizontal Line At Time tool still has the old default and produces consistently accurate results. In Range Charts this option is particularly important. An example may illustrate. Say an 08:00:00 Time Line is selected, and a bar opens at 07:55:00 and the following bar opens at 08:14:00, with the current settings, the initial bar (which is closest to 8am) would be selected. However, what is required is that the first bar to open at or after 8am should be identified as the 8am bar. A nearest match will not achieve this, as an absolute match is required. Can this be reinstated? Thanks. |

What you do not realize is there are numerous scenarios and what you are asking for is not always the appropriate solution to the problem. This is why the Time Line study has been enhanced and the Horizontal Line at Time study needs to be enhanced in the exact same way. And what we need to do for both of these studies is add an option to choose between Nearest Match or Containing Match to accomplish what you want.

Support, thank you for the recent modification to the Time Line study in Sierra new spreadsheet versions. Unfortunately, when applied to intra-day Range Bars, it is still not possible to identify the first bar to open on or after a given time. The code in the old spreadsheet version of Sierra still achieves the desired result.

We are working on this now. We will finally get it solved now. We realized the logic error made previously. Currently SC is using the logic of looking at the chart bar times to see if they contain the Time Line specified time rather than the reverse where the Time Line time contains a particular chart bar time.
