Huge Repainting When Change TF
24 May 2018, 17:30


Guys,

 

I'm facing a really huge repainting for trend lines. I've ploted in H1 and then changed to M2 . Check out the really weird difference:

M2

H1

 

The SAME trend line at the SAME moment.

Hi Eklon,

I don't see any problem. This is expected when the scale of the Y Axis changes.

Hi Panagiotis,

There is a problem, for sure.

If I'm following a trend in H1, but using M2 to open my orders, how can be right to change this parameters that I'm using with lower timeframes? It need to stay the same in every timeframe. A trend line dosen't change depending on the timeframe

In MT4 plataform this such of repainting do not happen. And it can't happen anyway. .There is no function at all if the trend line change accordingly with timeframes. It is related to prices and times, not to axis or timeframes.

Hi Eklon,

The trend does not change. What is changing is the slope of the line which is related to the scale of the X and Y axis. The slope will change even in the same chart if you chance the scale of the Y or the X Axis. See below some examples from the same time frame.

When you change timeframes then scales change. Based on that the slope will change as well

Best Regards,

Panagiotis

yes absolutely it is a bug.
I didn't know bout this old bug record.
But the only way to Spotware correct it is understanding that isn't normal thing . It is a serious issue that for me that make lose any confiability and make me look to another trading plataforms.

I do not trade with Chartist, so I'm not worried about this bug but if you invest with the trend line and price channel this platform can not be profitable for you.

Sure, Astroke. For you there is no impact.

But for all those who use technical analysis is a completly untrustable plataform. This is the main point that SpotWare team must understand. I don't know how many traders who use C-Trader use technical analyzis , but for them, with this bug this plataform is unprofitable.

I was expecting that was a new issue for them. But worse than a old issue is that they still think as a normal thing, as Panagiotis said. They will never fix it
