Snap Mode with respect to Visual Order

Postby OZ Trade » 27 Mar 2014

Hi there,

Is it possible to snap drawing tools onto any member of the visual order list or only the very back member of the list?

I have an issue with session breaks, I need them to appear behind the candles visually and to not overprint them, the only way to achieve this is to put the symbol in the front position of visual order list. When this is done though one can no longer snap drawing tools to the actual candles, instead it snaps them to whatever indicator is the last position of the visual order list.

Hello OZ Trade,

I am not sure i am following you, because session breaks are shown in the background of bars and if the series is set to back in the visual order, your drawings are based on the series, and not on an indicator's plot:

Hi.. thanks

Session Breaks are overprinting my candles unless the symbol is brought to the front of the visual order list..

What is the exact build number of your MC (Help -> About MutliCharts?

Please try the following:
  1. File -> Preferences -> Charting -> change the "improve visual appearance of drawing tools" box (if it was checked, check it off; if it was cleared, check it) -> Ok.
  2. Close MultiCharts and all its parts
  3. Make sure all MC processes are ended in Windows Task Manager. Here you can find the list of all MC processes: https://www.multicharts.com/trading-sof ... _Processes
  4. Restart MC
Let me know if something changed.
