Gann_Man, Our engineers tested this on our end following the steps you provided, and they received matching results, no discrepancies. I'm still unable to get the DataLoader TotalVolume to match the volume in a Time & Sales Window: _TotalVolume = Result.RTData.Value.TotalVolume; As you will see in ...

Further testing today revealed that by turning off (unchecked) "Update on every tick" and turning on (checked) "Skip identical ticks" on both a 1-tick bar chart and scanner window improved accuracy significantly using the "barsTrueVolume[0]" Method! This method is now producing 90+% accuracy. I cont...

Dear Gann_Man,

We are planning to add this feature. However, it is quite hard to realize, that is why it has not been done yet.

Will this feature be available in Version 7?

Gann_Man

one other thing you should check with your "old" method. (i.e. without the 5m overlay)

Check the "Scaling" of the 1m chart and the scaling of the 5m-MA. Make sure they have the same Top Margins and same Bottom Margins.

Yes, they are the same.

Gann_Man

one way you can do this is to overlay a 5m chart on the 1min chart. Set the 5m chart to appear invisible. Plot the 5m MA and the MA will ride on the 1m chart correctly. Thank you TJ! With that type of chart setup the MA is now plotting correctly. Question to MC Staff: Do you consider this solution ...

Gann_Man

It should not be necessary or required to set scaling to 'user defined' values for Subchart #1 to plot a MA of Data2. It appears the MA line in Subchart #1 is tied to scaling not price. MA lines should always be tied to price not scaling. Subchart #1 is returning the correct value for Data2 the prob...

on the MA, check "Last Price Marker". YOu will see the MA is using a different scale than the price bar. YOu have to fix the price bar scale, then fix the MA scale on top of it. p.s. the scale to symbol does not help, because you are using data 2 on chart 1. "Last Price Marker" was checked. MA shou...
