I use Volume bar charts in my analysis. I have noticed that NT6 is not producing the volume bars correctly. That is, while building the volume bars it is loosing some volume along the way and producing less candles than it should be.
The problem is most apparent on bar charts with low volume per candle, such as YM #F with 49 contracts (volume) per bar. It appears that when each candle is built, and an excess volume is available in a tick, over and above the 49 contracts required per bar, the excess contracts may be simply thrown out. Now, I don't know that this is the exact case, but it appears to be something like this.
I have compared the NT6 volume bar charts to volume bar charts created with MultiCharts, which I know handles the situation correctly. The result are that there is less volume bars on NT6 charts for the same time period than there is in MultiCharts.
This throws my indicator out producing unreliable results.
Is this a known problem? I am happy to provide more info if needed.
Thanks,
Paul
