I have researched some of the posted info on lines moving on tick charts and I am confused. I have not had this happen on other platforms. I even lock the trend channels and they still will go screwy after a few price bars. This is quite frustrating. Any new guidance on this? Seems like a serious bug that shouldn't be happening on a platform of this caliber. Two points connected should always be two points connected regardless of what happens beyond the "hard right edge"... Thanks. |

Any tips on this phenomenon besides continually cutting lines so they stop before they enter the fill space? :(

Hmmm... I will try to take a before and after photo next time it happens. Basically I set up a channel and extend the lines so it functions like a ray. As price progresses, the channel lines will move (usually wider) than what I set up. It gets confusing because as the trading day progresses and I revisit my older channels, I notice several are usually a bit screwy (lines that used to be at candle closes are now further above/below the original placement. I read on the Sierra documentation that this has something to do with calculating the angle beyond the locked fill space. It doesn't make sense to me. Why can't a locked channel stay along the line it was originally placed... new candles be damned? :/ |

The documentation here explains this: Lines/Rays or Other Chart Drawings Move After Drawing Them: Right Side Fill Space and Variable Chart Bar Timeframes No need for this: Hmmm... I will try to take a before and after photo next time it happens.

Okay, thank you! I believe that answers my question. Just to be certain: When setting a line, do not extend it past the last visible candle. After the line is established, I can then "extend drawing" with no fear that my angle will be changed in the future?
