Post From: Reversal Bar Errors

Why do the gaps not make sense? GC futures do gap sometimes by a tick or two or possibly more. And that will show up with these types of Reversal bars and they should. I also looked at the same GC chart using a range bar and the chart is full of gaps and other errors too so I don't think it has anything to do with the reversal bar but seems to be a data issue. What errors are you referring to? If you want us to help you must be very specific. There cannot be possibly anything wrong whatsoever with Range bars or Reversal bars. These are extensively used by our user base, and they work perfectly according to documentation. And the only data issue would have to do with not having tick by tick data or possibly missing data. It seems as though that your expectation is in conflict with how these types of bars work in Sierra Chart. There is a Range bar type, which will fill gaps, and that is what you should use. But this does not exist with Reversal bars. Refer to: Chart Settings: Intraday Chart Bar Period >> Bar Period Type >> Range Per Bar - Fill Gaps (in ticks) And it is not something we could get to anytime soon. Make a decision, at this time whether Sierra Chart meets your requirements or not. Sierra Chart does not believe in faking open high low close values in order to have bars look a certain way. From our perspective this simply just does not make any sense. If there is a gap, there is a gap and it needs to be displayed. However, Sierra Chart does offer manipulated bars to some extent. We offer range bars, which do have manipulations, Renko bars which are manipulated, and Flex/Universal Renko bars which are totally manipulated and do not represent the true underlying price action accurately.
