Multiple Data Series Operator Error or BUG?

Postby Sky » 28 Oct 2018

Hello all....here's what I have:

1. I have stacked 3 time frames as seen in the pic. Subchart 1 / data1 is the shortest timeframe, SC 2 / data2 is 2xtime of data1, SC 3 / data3 is 2xtime of data2.

2. I have inserted the PaintBar/Arrow indicator shown 3 times and want to display all the timeframes on SubChart 1. I formatted the indicator under the "Properties" tab to "Base Study On:" data2 and to display on (I assume that's what the Subchart choice is asking for) "SubChart" - SubChart#1. And similar for the data3 set.

3. In the "Data Window", as seen in the pic with the vertical line, the correct bars for data2 and data3 appear as correct with the correct highlighted colors under the indicator named PBwArw_2xPTDEavg_20181007.

The PaintBars and Arrows display correctly on SubChart #1 for data1, but do not paint for data2-3?, but, are correctly displayed in the data window?
Have I missed something in understanding this setup? Thanks for the help.

Please write notes on the charts to indicate what do you mean by "wrong".

As is, it is very difficult to see what you are referring to.

Thanks for the reply TJ and sorry for the confusion, I knew I could count on you for help. I have added a couple annotated pics to help clarify the query.

What I want is for the BIG RED/GREEN dots from the data1-data3 (SC#1-SC#3) to be painted on the primary chart (SubChart#1). Same indicator applied to timeframe1-data1, timeframe2-data2, and timeframe3-data3. The data of data2 and data3 appear and are correct in the Data Window (green bar data seen in attached pic), but the bars do not paint in SC#1.

Hope this clears things up? Thanks for the help.

Check your "Scaling" tab.

Ok....I set the Scaling to Screen and was able to view the data2 and data3 on the SubChart#1. I was hoping to get the SC#1 bars painted with the data points of data2 and data3 instead of the bar lengths of data2 and data3 painting on SC#1 as seen in the pic. I guess this is the best I can get.

Thanks for the help TJ.....

Right click on the chart
a window will pop up
select "Visual Order"

make sure the data series are at the bottom of the list.

Go to "Format indicator"

Make sure the Scaling is "Same As Instrument".

Hmmmm......unfortunately I get the same result as the last pic I posted, but only if I set the Scaling to Screen, then the data2 and data3 show on SC#1. If I set Scaling to Same As Instrument the PB's of data2 and data3 disappear from the SC#1 screen. :?
