wobbly candles...

[pjsmith]

Hello,

If you create , for example, a 100 tick mnq chart, then add a 3000 tick data series of the same symbol to it, but set the 3000 tick transparent, as you don't want to see it, the 100 tick candles become somewhat unusable, in that they flicker and wobble constantly. I have tried equidistant spacing on and off, but no difference (apart from oddly spaced candles). How can I add another data series to the chart, not see it (I have a 'nullstyle' candle type that does not draw candles, but that does not make a difference either), and not have it mess up the 100 tick candles. This should be easy to replicate your side I guess, if you want to see the effect. Using latest nt8 build. Candle basically wobbles a few pixels to the right, then back again, pretty much all the time. Makes me feel sick watching it!

Thanks.

My logs will be huge, but I will try and send you some simpler ones. In the meantime, here are a pic and video that show the issue and config

Hello,

Thank you for your patience.

I have followed up with our Development team I found that this behaviour is expected.

This is due to using non-time-based bars and the nature of how these bars are time stamped.

Please let me know if I may be of any further assistance.

[pjsmith]

'Expected' - Thanks for the reply, but sorry, that's really not good enough. You mean, ninjatrader are happy with having the candles jump all over the place in real-time on the screen, if the user does not use time-based bars? C'mon. Really?

[caveat_lector]

I agree. This is not good enough. If NinjaTrader developers think this is acceptable, they don't understand the level of quality reasonably expected by users and being routinely provided by competitors.
