I have been starting to notice this more and more when using Range Per Bar - New Bar on Range Met (in ticks). The open is placed at the low of the next bar after an up bar or the top of the next bar after a down bar. This shouldn't be possible with this bar type. Just trying to figure out what's going on since I use these bars a lot. Image attached for reference. |

Can this please be looked at. Setups I have that rely on accurate bar opens are now getting missed because of inaccurate plotting of the bar open. Here's another example. One of many. Bar Type: Range Per Bar - New Bar on Range Met (in ticks). Timestamp for image: Thursday 12/10/2020, 10:50:41 PST. Chart: 10 Tick Range. 20 Days of price data. New Bar At Session Start unchecked. I see this is 6 and 8 Tick Range charts as well. |

Been using these bars a long time and have never seen this issue until recently. Why would anyone want to plot price on bars where the open sometimes repaints? The open=close version creates completely different study calculations but I guess that's what you're pointing me to. |

Nothing has changed in regard to this Bar Period Type and there is not any problem. It works correctly and according to specifications. It is only the case when a new underlying Intraday file record or trade, in the case of tick by tick data, is being added to a chart bar and the range of the last bar is equal to the range setting, is then a new bar started at that time. The trade that extends the bar range to the specified range, will not in and of itself start a new bar. Only the next trade will.
We do not know what this means, and there is no problem like this: where the open sometimes repaints?
