Version 2270, I have 4 chartbooks up, 2 with CL and 2 with ES. Daily/240 minute in 1 chartbook & 60-15-5 minute in the other chartbook for both symbols. Only on the CL Daily/420 minute when I right click on the chart my narrow control bar buttons actually get wider than the other buttons on both CL chartbooks. Sometimes just going from the ES chartbook to the CL chartbook will cause the buttons to get bigger. This does not happen with the 2 ES chartbooks. I have to go to the CL 60-15-5 minute chart and right click on the 5 minute chart and the buttons will sometimes change back, if not I can select one of the drawing tools and then the buttons go back to the smaller size on both CL chartbooks. The only smaller buttons are order quantity buttons.

Also notice it happening on the CL 60-15-5 minute chart when I right click on the 60 or 15 minute charts the buttons change width. Go to the 5 minute chart and right click or select a tool and the buttons change back.

The reason for the changes in the Control Bar Buttons is due to the addition of the Quantity values for the Quantity buttons associated with the Trading Window. You will see the values change from (1), (2), (4), (5) to (10.00C), (20.00C), (40.00C), (50.00C).

Are you saying the text inside the quantity buttons is adding digits and to see all those digits the button gets bigger? Why does it go back to smaller size when I right click on the 5 minute chart only? And why isn’t the ES chart also doing the same thing? Is there any way to stop it?

The quantity buttons were changed a few months ago to show the actual Quantity values associated with the buttons. In the images you provided, the numbers were (1) for one situation and (10.00C) for the another. That is why the difference in the sizes. We do not know why they would change when you click on the chart. The changes should be present when you change from chart to chart, or if you make a change that would cause the actual settings to change. If you can reproduce the situation just be clicking, then let us know and get us a copy of the Chart that shows that by following these instructions: Support Board Posting Information: Providing Chartbook with Only a Single Chart For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

I couldn't right click to remove the drawings because it would change the quantity buttons size like before. It did let me remove volume though. Can't recall when the buttons got bigger but I think it was when I selected File > Save. So yes, it is still doing it with no studies. Thanks |

What we are seeing is that the buttons change when you change between the Charts, as each chart has its own Trading Window with different values set for the Quantity Buttons. In particular, you have values of [1; 2; 3; 4; 5; 6] for your quantity buttons for the ESU21-CME chart, but you have values of [10,000; 20,000; 30,000; 40,000; 50,000; 60,000] for the CLN21-NYMEX chart. The reason why it happens when you click in the window, from what we see, is simply because you have your windows floating, therefore when you click in the chart window, you are then changing the chart to that one and then the quantities are updating for that change in the chart.

My other issue that I posted here but got turned into a user discussion was my Daily OHLC studies or Study SubGraph Reference make a vertical line at a new day. It used to not do this and just started in the last 3 days. I have my Draw Zero's in the Study SubGraph Refence studies set to no. I can open the Study window and click OK to close the Study Window and the vertical lines disappear until the next day at 18:00:00 open. Thanks |

You just need to change the Subgraph Draw Style to "Dash" instead of "Line". Refer to the following: Chart Studies: Dash (ACSIL: DRAWSTYLE_DASH) We have no idea why it would have changed.

John, Now that I have the vertical lines for Daily OHLC not showing, the old Highs and Lows stay on the chart from yesterday. This has never done this before. I have Number of Days to Calculate set at 1. I open the Study Window and then close the Study Window with OK, and yesterdays High and Low lines disappear. Thanks John Jeff |

Some studies do not go back and update previous bars as long as there is no reason for the study to be completely recalculated. This saves a lot on resources. You can do what you did, which is to open the study and select OK, which forces a full recalculation, or you can select the "Insert" key, which does a Reload and Recalculate for the entire chart (depending on how many days you have loaded and Market Depth, this could take a few seconds or a few minutes). But, you should not be seeing the old bars into where a new calculation should be occurring (i.e. a new day). So although it may be odd to see the old lines still on the screen, each bar should reflect the correct calculations for the OHLC. A couple of other options including changing the code to recalculate when you want it to occur. Or there is a study called "Chart Recalculation - Periodic", that will force a full recalculation of the chart at the set interval (same as selecting the Insert button). You could set the recalculation period very high, since you just need it at the start of each day.

I’m not opening the specific study but just the Study Window that shows all the studies available on the left and studies on my chart on the right. I just click OK on that window to close it and the old highs and lows disappear. Does this action also recalculate all studies? Thanks |

Yes, selecting OK on that window also does a full recalculation of the studies.

V2076 - Did the ability to adjust (customize) width of Status in Control Bar1 .. go away? Connection status is unnecessarily huge. See the top of my Chartbook (attached). That's over twice too wide, messing up my layout from V1991. I recall V1991 allowed standard drag of edge to resize that? Surely that flexibility has not gone away? For many reasons, my chartbook spans onto 3 monitors (each in portait,for needed height), the center monitor having most of the CB. Each side of CB flows about 8 centimeters onto Monitors 1 and 3. (One important chart on each side monitor). Adjusting the Status bar allowed me to precisely position most buttons onto the center monitor. |
