I am using a custom time frame setting and simple candle stick chart. I have two studies running on this chart. One colors a candle if it hits a certain volume. The formula I am using is this ABS(C-O)>=250*0.01 The other study is a countdown timer as provided by sierra chart. Here is my problem: My chart prints a new candle every couple of days according to the custom time frame I have set. I have set the days - minutes - and seconds. Yesterday the previous 4 candles were red - red - green - green. Red is a downward negative candle for the custom time frame and green is up. Today when I loaded my chart it changed the last 4 candles to red - green - red - red. How can I stop this from happening. I am trying to measure a trend on my custom time scale but between log in's over night something seems to be changing. |

The formula in post#1 does not reference time nor volume. It would only reference the Open-Close range of the current candle.

I understand. I was just trying to explain all parameters I am using on this chart in case there is a conflict for some reason. The issue is the chart candles changing their trend organization from one log in to the next. I need to figure out how to make it constant. |

You may need to set the chart to load data from a specific Date. You can do this through Chart >> Chart Settings.

I tried changing the dates but it did not revert the chart to the way it looked 4 days ago. Any other ideas? Hopefully there is a solution. I can not implement a model and know my entry if the chart changes the candle stick trends. |

If you are using any cumulative studies, the start date would need to be the same as it was 4 days ago. You haven't provided enough information for others to help you. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2013-11-03 14:21:43

Maybe try unchecking Chart Settings>>New Bar At Session Chart if it's checked.
