Regression Channel Chart Drawing Tool Questions

[joemiller]

The seven regression Channel Drawing Tool parameters are:

close, high, low, median, open, typical,weighted

1] what are the definitions of median, typical and weighted?

2] when I choose median the regression channel drawing disappears from the chart.
Is this possibly a bug? Please advise.

I am using NinjaTrader 8.

Price series are defined here:

When I choose 'median' for my regression channel, it 'disappears' but this is because the object has moved due to this new setting and is now outside of the auto-scale view of my chart. I res-scaled my chart and the object was present above the data in my case:

Is this the same thing you observe? You can always check was objects are applied to your chart by clicking on the drawing tools icon > Drawing objects... > Choose the object > expand the data section and look at it's Y coordinate.

NO I DON'T SEE IT DISPLACED

I CAN'T CHOOSE THE OBJECT BECAUSE IT HAS DISAPPEARED FROM THE CHART SO I CAN'T CLICK ON IT TO CHOOSE IT.

REGRESSION CHANNEL FOR OPENS


REGRESSION CHANNEL FOR MEDIANS [IT'S NOT THERE?]

REGRESSION CHANNEL FOR CHART SQUEEZED DOWN [STILL DON'T SEE IT]

[NinjaTrader_PatrickG]

Please follow these steps:

• Open a new chart window with your instrument of choice
• Draw a regression channel making sure to leave all settings as default
• (most importantly: Price type = close)
• Go to Drawing Tools > Drawing objects
• Position the drawing objects window on your chart so that you can also see the regression channel
• Here is an example: https://www.screencast.com/t/j0WoufYjbUnh
• Change the 'Price type' to 'Median' and click APPLY (DO NOT click OK)

Does the regression channel still exist in the drawing objects window? If so, please proceed:

• Check out the y values for the data of this drawing object
• Here is an example: https://www.screencast.com/t/d7CrpHPdMl9i

If you navigate to the prices mentioned in the Y values, do you see the drawing object?

I see in your screenshot that the drawing tool does still exist in the Drawing Tools list (Regression channel 13 in the 'configured' list), but judging by the Y values it should be apparent on your chart.

This is unexpected.
