Cross Pointer - tracking time and price not aligned

Postby tcat » 24 Jan 2013

Hello,

I do not know if this issue has already been raised. Running 8.5 beta 2, when using the "cross pointer" set to "track time and price", the pointer is not aligned on all charts at the same price level.

The picture attached displays USDJPY with price below 89.100 on first chart, and at 89.1466 on second.

Could you send me (ashuvlenov@multicharts.com) your workspace, exported scripts from PLE that are used in the workspace and exported symbols from QM that are also used in the workspace?

Hello Andrew,

I finally found the root cause of this issue. On the bottom chart, I had 6 active studies, amongst which a "VWAP reset" based on data 2. The VWAP reset was set to "screen scaling", and obviously by having it set as such, it was breaking the Y scale alignement. All others indicators had their scaling set to "same as instruments".

My setup for this chart was 1min bars set to invisble (data1), 15 min bars (data2), 4 hours bars set to invisible (data3).

I am not sure that this a normal behaviour though.

Cheers,
Thierry

Please take a look at the picture. I specially added the price scales to both sides of the chart in order to demonstrate you that "Tracking Time and Price" works only for instruments, not for indicators (left scale on the subchart 2 is set to show indicator's scale that is not "same as instrument").
