I set the right margin of the chart to give visual space between the active bar and the right axis. But, I use range bars, and the chart is extending the X axis (time) beyond the point of the active bar. This is confusing and technically not correct, since the chart cannot know how to extend the x-axis with a range bar, or non time based bar.... Please advise. |

How that works is explained here: http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/WorkingWithCharts.html#TimeScale It is necessary that those times are estimated. This will not change.

Well, Ok, for me it is not necessary, it is a distraction. I like your package better than Ninja, but it does not do this. The time axis stops at the right margin of the chart. Will not mention it again. |

Because Chart Drawings and studies that extend into that future projection area depend upon this. While the times are estimated for variable timeframe bars, they are accurate for fixed time chart bars. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

Yes, completely valid for time based charts, but only those, not renko, range, et cetera. From what it seems a growing number of traders are using non-time based charts. Some of these may use time charts for a higher level overview, but trade on the non-time based chart. I only look at range bars, and use a larger range bar for the overview. I wrote (ninjatrader) indicators that add time based components to the chart but the charts themselves are range bar, and in Ninja these charts do not project a time on the X-axis beyond the current active bar. So, that is what my eyes are accustomed to seeing, but I can adapt. |
