SC's colored background is great, but when I set the "bars to calculate" setting down from testing (such as 3000 bars) back to say.. 2 bars to color, that only remains 2 until live feed runs a while, then the colored background remains moving across all the chart. Then the prior colored background for prior bars persist. (Think of it as the opposite of what a Linear Regression study does:stays on the last X-bars only= what I need). That is, no "clearing" (or "not writing") of bars background prior to the calculate bars setting takes place. Have I missed some setting that forces "clear"? Some of my charts have a colored background on almost all new bars. This is very confusing to the eye (not seeing only the main last relevant color). CPU performance is not the cause: On Intel I5, usually running under 10% load. Of course we need everything else to persist. This might be a "touchy" programming issue: We are sensitive that fixing this might wipe/lose some critical prior chart info, such as orders info. Hopefully not. FYI: Saving any study on the chart will refresh the whole chart, which clears back to the 2 bars setting. |

Problem may be unique to live 1-second level feed (10 out of 30 charts), but occurs on all.. 1-second, 1-minute, 5-minute & 30 minute charts. |

Clicking the "Apply" button on the first Studies Box resets the studies and clears the persistent background color bars. Perhaps programatically setting the same Apply action at end of a bar period interval , as an optional setting, might solve this for a while (until a better solution). Making that an option setting would allow users who are used to color background scrolling across the chart to have it remain as is. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2015-11-11 20:50:16

We have not yet gotten to this. We should have this supported sometime in the next two weeks.

Great! Ignore my later-last suggestion, regarding an "option", above: "Making that an option setting would allow users who are used to color background --- was dumb, Because.. the bars-back setting handles all situations if working correctly (doesn't need an option). |
