indicator wrong scaled?

Postby FutureTrader » 14 Aug 2013

I have the following situation:
I loaded ES in chart and loaded my testing indicator on subchart #1 (same frame as ES).

Code: Select all

inputs:
series_es(close of data1);
variables:
var0(0);

var0 = series_es;

plot1(var0, "ES", white);
Now have a look at the attachment.

You would expect, that both lines are identical, but there are times were they aren't.
I also set instrument and indicator to have the same scaling.
What's happening here?

mine matches exactly. There has to be a scaling issue..
white line is instrument, red line (inside white line) is your study..
I'm trying it real-time, so study has "update every tick" set and "scaled to instrument".

Hello FutureTrader,

As soon as you put the indicator on the main subchart it may not have the same scaling as the instrument has. To change the scaling of the indicator, please Right click on the chart --> format indicators --> double click your indicator --> turn to the scaling tab. Select "same as instrument" and click Ok.
