Volume bars incorrect  [SOLVED]

Postby fs » 10 Sep 2008

Volume bars are not very accurate. See attached screenprint of a chart based on 100 volume bars. See the volume at the bottom of the screen showing that there are several bars where the volume is above/below 100.

I am not sure when this problem started but here are two charts from two different versions. I hope they address this quickly.

As you go down in time frame it looks much much worse. This looks exactly like volume bars on a TS chart. See attached.

Here is NT's chart from the same time frame as my original posting. They have no issues with volume bars.

I don't think its anything more than that a bug has crept into their code. Their volume bars used to work fine.

fs,
drwar,

The charting outrages of Version 4.0 Beta 2 (Build 1573) are not confined to volume bars.

Please see

The volume bar problem is not specific to the latest beta. I doubt the other
problem is either.

Remember 4.0 is still a beta, Thats what you buy into when you use a beta.
I am sure it will be fixed.

drwar,

Eventually everything will be fixed, I am sure.

Meanwhile, I consider ALL MultiCharts versions as beta; even the official releases.

But it is so very sad TS Support has not gotten even the basic charting right by now.

I am not using the beta. I am using the "official" 3.1 release and I don't think this is unreasonable to expect that basic charting will work in the official release. Without basic charting working, what use is anything else?

I do not know when MultiCharts started, but if we take July 2005 as the start time; then, regardless of the fact a version is “Beta” or “Official”, TS Support hasn't even got MultiCharts basic charting right in THREE YEARS.

This must raise serious questions about:

the way they do things;
where they are heading.

I have tried a fairly good number of betas in my life and can testify these people have taken the definition of beta to a new all time low.
