I think I asked this question b4, but cant find the answer and its hasn't come up for me again until now. I have a 6 second chart for RTH hours (9:30a...) I have one day loaded, as some studies/indicators don't reset at the start of day. I open my charts about 9:15a and the previous day is loaded since the current day hasn't started. My problem is as soon as the market opens, my charts don't update to the current setting of one day. I assumed that as soon as the "day" started, it would only load the current day automatically. I think the "fix" suggested before was to hit the "reload all charts" and then it resets. The problem with that is I lose crucial time at the open since it takes about 15 seconds to reset. Is there a work around or is there a plan for the charts to update to current settings. How does one get the charts to start at 9:30 with only one day loaded BEFORE the open? Is it possible to code that once the "Current Session time" is over, its actually the next day, so the charts will start at the next Session start time? (This in effect would mean after the close of the market on the same day, we would have to load 2 days even though its still the same day, albeit not the Session time.) Thx |

The only thing that you can do is to manually reload the charts with Edit >>Reload All Charts. There is no automatic functionality that will be implemented to do a reload. We would never add this kind of functionality. It is not going to help us to ask about this. This is just how it is. How does one get the charts to start at 9:30 with only one day loaded BEFORE the open? Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.

ok, so no automatic reload. My problem really is most studies not having "Reset at beginning of trading day" function. Is this a major reconfigure to the studies? Anytime soon? |

We thought about adding the capability of automatic reload but we are concerned about whether it is really even practical to be using because suddenly at the beginning of the session, the chart is going to reload. Is that really what someone wants when they are wanting to see the price action immediately at the open. We would think not. One thing we are going to do is add some new commands to the Edit menu. One to reload Intraday charts and another one to reload historical Daily charts. And these will only affect the active Chartbook. You can set up shortcut keys for these. Most studies do not have the ability to reset at the beginning of the trading day and that would never be added to the ones that do not have this.

Yes, that's exactly the problem I have, the reloading at the open. There has to be a way to overcome this since I only want my indicators analyzing the current RTH, and the open is critical. What if there was an option in the chart setting for "load current day [only]" in the "days to load"? Wouldn't that overcome the problem. Of course if set to that and nothing shows (empty graph like I get on Monday morning), one would know to change it to "1" day to load because obviously the current "session time" didn't start. As far as the reloading at the open, I assume that instant calculation would be the same load as it would be if the "current session only" was loaded. yes? PS As I mentioned about Monday morning how it works perfectly because my charts set to "load 1 day" sees no RTH session time for Sunday, so my charts load at the open without having to reload. I would think this could work for any day if "Load current[todays] days session only" were added to the "days to load" in Chart settings. Your thoughts.

+1, I and others I have spoken to all have this same issue, for some reason the studies I have show up incorrectly calculated on initial opening of SierraChart, and only calculate correctly after a manual chart re-load. With the current way SC is setup, I have to go through each individual chartbook and manually hit re-load all intraday charts, and then manually hit reload all historical charts, for EACH chartbook. It is a complete time wasting and tedious process that should be automated. Please add an OPTION to auto-reload ALL charts across ALL chartbooks on initial startup to avoid this issue. Regarding your opinion as to what users want, as always, with an OPTION, it will only help those users who need this functionality to save critical time and improve this tedious/inefficient process in SierraChart, and NOT affect any users who do not need this.

We have no idea what you are referring to. No such problem exists with Sierra Chart built-in studies. This thread is unrelated and we are closing it. You will need to start a new Support Request, and explain this very simple and clearly what you are referring to. Please add an OPTION to auto-reload ALL charts across ALL chartbooks on initial startup to avoid this issue.
This is already the case and we do not understand what you are asking about.None of what you are saying is making any sense to us. It makes utterly no sense whatsoever to have to reload charts to solve a study calculation problem. A problem like that should not even exist to begin with. And we are not going to add some command to reload all charts in all Chartbooks. This would not make any sense and does not deal with the underlying problem.
