Issue With Zoom in Automate Section
03 Aug 2019, 19:12

Hello, i've been recently having an issue with zooming in the Automate section when testing indicators, in fact, it appears that zooming out makes the chart jump to index = 0, forcing the chart to load more bars and the indicator to re-initialize.This is quite bad for those who work with cTrader since it really doesn't help backtesting nor developing.

I hope to hear back from you

Oh, and also, please, get rid of those two posts in the algorithm section of the forum, where feldiorean.alexandru literally reposted one of my indis and juanbertrading made a post just to ask for help with coding. Both of these posts are out of place. Here are the links https://ctrader.com/algos/show/1977 and https://ctrader.com/algos/show/1976

Hi cysecsbin.01,

I could not reproduce such an issue. Con you please provide more specific steps on how to reproduce this behavior?

Best Regards,

Panagiotis

Here i'll post some screenshots of the indicated issue:

Now I'm testing a simple double rsi in the automate section, zoom level is set to 3

This is what happens if i try to zoom out:

As you can see, by zooming out i'm now not at the end of the chart anymore, and if the process is repeated: I'm now near the beginning of the chart.

Now, in this particular chart i've had several bars loaded already, but with mint-fresh charts the zooming out always triggers a reloading of the entire chart to load more bars, and thus, the resetting of the indicator being tested.

This is quite an issue since with heavy-workloads indicators it means that a lot of time goes in the waiting for the indicator to refresh at each reload.

Also, if i switch from Chart-coding area-chart, the positions of the chart will always reset, i.e. if i'm looking at Chart.LastVisibleIndex = 500 and i switch back to the code editor and then back to the chart, i'll be now looking at Chart.LastVisibleIndex = Chart.BarsTotal.

 

I hope this issue can be solved, thanks for your time
