Potential Bug With Extended Lines and Rays

[dan_public]

Description:
Extended Lines and Rays drawn on daily charts do not show up on 1 minute and 15 minute charts. Daily chart lines' "Attach to" is set to "(All Charts)".

Repro steps:
1. Open a daily chart, a 1 minute chart and a 15 minute chart using the symbol "AHT".

2. Draw a Ray and an Extended Line on the daily chart, so that the lines will intersect close to the current price. I.e. the line would be visible in the minute charts.

3. Set the "Attach to" property to "(All Charts)". Click "OK".

4. Review minute charts.

Expected Results:
All lines drawn on Daily Charts should be visible on minute charts, if the price axis is compressed enought.

Actual Results:
Extended Lines and Rays do NOT show up on the minute charts.

Notes:
I haven't checked all the other drawings. So this issue may exist for other drawings too.

Regards,

Dan.

Patrick,

NT is "8.0.8.0 Safe Mode 64-bit (Multi-Broker)". My data feed is IQFeed.

I reproduced this exactly following precisely the same steps as before. See attached image.

Are you testing this in "8.0.8.0 Safe Mode 64-bit (Multi-Broker)" using IQFeed data?

Regards,

Dan.

Data Point: Horizontal Lines and Fibonacci Retracements work fine.

I am using NinjaTrader 8.0.8.0 64-bit with a Kinetick data feed. I would not expect source of data to contribute in this case. I have not tested in safe mode because I cannot reproduce the behavior in normal mode.

If you re-scale your intraday charts by clicking on the vertical scale and dragging downwards, do you eventually see the lines? Sometimes even though the lines appear to be crossing directly on top of the daily bar they are actually time stamped somewhere beyond your current view on the intraday chart. For example, on my charts the meeting point of the two lines is quite a bit lower than the current price.

This may be an IQFeed issue. The results I'm getting are a little bizarre. Please hold on pursuing this further until I gather more test data and reboot my system.

Patrick,

Scaling the first thing I did - both price and time, just to be sure. I don't think it's a user issue. I'm going to reboot my computer to see if it's a memory leak or some other bizarre issue. I'll continue testing this weekend and report the results.

Dan.

p.s. One thing to keep in mind is that the same issue appeared in NT and in MultiCharts. Very strange.
