I use multiple time frames. Very often I will place a trendline on a IE. 240 minute chart. I want to see when this trendline - placed on the 240 minute chart - comes into play on IE. a 5 minute chart. To get the trendline on the 240 to show on the 5 minute chart I simply put the chart NUMBER identifier on the 240 (where the trendline originates,)into the CHART SETTINGS - ADVANCED SETTINGS 2 - of my 5 minute chart in the "Copy Chart Drawings From Chart #'s:" area. I am careful to make sure the little dots on the 240 trendline line up with the highs or lows of the price bars and often use the "Snap to High/Low" tool for accuracy. The problem I am experiencing, too often, despite my correct precision, is that these trendlines from the 240 DO NOT show at the precise price levels on the 5 minute chart that they accurately show on the 240. They are quite often OFF by several ticks. I have been unable to fix this very annoying discrepancy. I do not have the same issue with a horizontal line or any other chart drawing that I might place on the 240 min chart. Please advise. |

We need some time to look this over. This looks like a small degree of error due to line mapping into the coordinate system of the chart and we have to see if we can improve upon this. We did make some improvements over a year ago so not sure how much better we can do but we will see. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

It is hard for us to give a definite answer on this because we don't really know exactly what type of lines are being drawn and where they are anchored in the source chart. This is definitely not something we would analyze. We did have a close look at how the mapping is done between the time frames and we do not see how we can do any better. It is as good as can be. Refer to this section here about this: Lines/Rays or Other Chart Drawings Move After Drawing Them: Chart Drawings Are Misaligned After Changing the Period / Timeframe Per Bar The proper solution for what you want to do is to draw the lines on the shorter timeframe chart and actually make sure the anchor points of the drawing are set on those particular chart bars where they are not aligned to currently. This ensures they will remain stable at those particular locations. Otherwise, it is inevitable there is going to be a variance when you are doing copying between time frames.
