Hi,

I am using flex renko bars applied to heiken ashi chart.

As per documentation and responses on this board....the true underlying price data (OHLC) for flex renko bars should be accessible using sc.Open[]/sc.Close[]/sc.High[]/sc.Low[].....i don't need the renko open and close.

when using these arrays to access the true price data in ACSIL...i get stuff like 2744.84, 2745.17, 2634.62.

These erroneous/distorted values even show in the "Chart Values for Tools" window under the "Open","High","Low"..etc fields.

the DTS window is setup correctly (1 tick data). I checked that the actual market data is correct using both the "Intraday Data Editor" tool and using 1 trade/bar OHLC charts....the data from CQG is 100% correct.

How can i access the correct true underlying market data using acsil?

thanks

forgot to add..this data is for S&P e minis....they go in steps of .25...so correct data should be 2744.00, 2744.25, x.50, x.75

The problem is you have set the Heiken-Ashi study to be the main price graph and that is changing the values. You have to remove that study.

thanks for the clarification.

say i wanna stick to using my chart as is (flex renko on HA bars)....is the data in the "Trade Activity Log" (max open profit, max open loss..etc) to be trusted? i supposed these numbers should be based on the real underlying price and not on the HA modified numbers....please confirm.

thanks again

Yes because this is based on the actual underlying price data for the symbol and not based on altered values within a chart.
