Back testing/ market replay the candlestick on 1 min chart are not complete. Moving averages are missing on tick chart, and it dosent seem to be accurate with 1 min chart.

Back testing/ market replay the candlestick on 1 min chart are not complete. This is not clear for us. Maybe you are replaying a futures contract at a point in time where it is inactive. For the other issues we need to see images of the charts. Provide an image of the chart, by following these instructions: http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?l=PostingInformation.php#Image Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

1. For the first image, you are looking at an inactive point of time in that particular futures contract. Use the Continuous Futures Contract feature to solve this: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_ContinuousFuturesContractCharts.html 2. What moving average do you have on the chart and what is the Length set to? Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.

I have 5period 20 period and 100 period averages on that chart. Sorry, I am not sure what "length set to" means.

Does not make much sense that you would not see the Moving Average with a Length of 5 or 20 on that chart. Go to the chart the contains the Moving Average studies, and activate it and then select Edit >> Copy Chart Values and paste it here.

I went back 2 weeks then 3 weeks and have the averages. Around 3 1/2 weeks is when they aren’t visible.

The question is at 3 1/2 weeks and earlier, what are the values of those Moving Averages? You can determine that with the Chart Values tool: http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_Tools.html#ChartValues Are they within the visible price range of the chart bars that are visible at that point in time.

I changed the Continuous Contract option on that chart and it seemed to correct it. Thank you.
