I've just found out about LineBreak charts and think they could offer great possibilities for automated strategies, but shortly after using them I found something that seemed off and I'd like to ask if anyone can shed some light on it.
When using them in real time, the bars/"lines" display in odd ways that they are not meant to, such as showing a flat dash to represent unchanged values whereas a true LineBreak chart would simply draw nothing.
If I "reload all historical data" it redraws the LineBreak chart correctly, but it's requiring me to reload all historical data every time I want to look at the chart to evaluate the price data. Because of that, I wouldn't be able to make a strategy do anything with the LineBreak chart unless one of two things could happen:
1) The LineBreak chart would have to be tweaked to display the bars properly in real time and not require a reload of historical data
2) the strategy itself would need to have a trigger to reload all historical data on each OnBarUpdate (calculateonbarclose = true) in order to properly evaluate things and be usable.
Can any user or moderator help me know if either of these options are possible?
Thanks
