Renko

Postby anazarov » 18 Jun 2013

When 1 bar of time frame matches to a few of Renko bars (based on the same time frame) the chart shows this two data sets like this

(Renko bars stay at the right)

But it should be like this

(2.3 KiB) Downloaded 728 times
(Renko bars stay at the left).

Why it so?

When the strategy is called on the data1 bar (like it is on the 1st picture) it is possible to reference only 1st data2 Renko bar of the serie (which matches to this data1 bar), to "view" the rest of the serie (to make correct decision) we have to wait for the next bar of data1.

The solution could be to calculate the signals on data2 bars CalcBar call (it is called on every data1 bar and data2 bar), but in case of order execution with CalcBar on data2 bars the orders are ignored according to MultiCharts "rules".

So the result of these two "features" is that in the case of mixing regular and renko data sets on the same chart the signals based on Renko data2 will be executed always "1 time frame" later than it should be.

This issue has been confirmed. It will be fixed in one of the next version of MultiCharts .Net (after 8.7 release).
