Diamonds on 1st bar?

[Lost Trader]

Why is NT drawing two diamonds on my chart, on the very first bar? They are not on price at all (e.g., Red diamond @ 839.50, Purple Diamond @ 836.00, Price @ 936)

I removed every indicator from the chart and the diamonds are still there. It is not a plot execution, as those are turned off and a different color.

Why are they there, and how do I get rid of them?

Hello LostTrader,

Thank you for your post.

Are these drawing objects?
If you right click in your chart and select Drawing Tools, then Remove Drawing Objects, is the All Chart Markers option selectable?

Are you running any automated strategies?

[Lost Trader]

Sorry for the delay, Kyle.

They are drawn objects, because I can select them. And I now realize, with a right-click, remove diamond is there. And yes if I select Drawing Tools, then Remove Drawing Objects, then the All Chart Markers option is selectable. Oddly enough, there is apparently a Line somewhere as well - I cannot see it but it is also on the Remove Drawing Objects menu.

Thank you for reminding me how to get rid of it.

I have never run a strategy at all. Any idea how they got there?

Hi LostTrader,

Thank you for your reply.

Perhaps the items were placed inadvertently after hitting the keyboard shortcuts for the objects.

For example, diamonds can be drawn by clicking ALT + F4. This key combination is used in most other windows to close a window.

Does this sound like a likely scenario?

[Lost Trader]

Yes, it is possible that I hit ALT-F4 somehow in the last few weeks.

It still seems screwy. Snap to OHLC is always checked, so why would the marks end up on Bar 1 (the very beginning of the chart) and so far from price?

Oh well. As long as they don't come back.
