Please find attached scalp_lean.cht and DefaultSpreadsheetSystemForTradingStudy_algo_for_sierra.scss. The issue happens whenever the Kagi study is applied to a "Delta Volume Per Bar" chart. If you sit and watch the signals happen (background turns blue or red) then you will see where you have a signal, then the Kagi study will "repaint", which is indicated by the number of bars on the chart being incremented then decremented by one repeatedly until the 2nd-to-last bar has finished building. This tends to happen near the end of a signal bar being fully built, and you can wait for quite a while before the problem happens, but it does happen, consistently and repeatedly. I've been using Sierra Chart for a decade and I wish the Kagi study were like Point and Figure chart and part of the official list of charts that Sierra Supports. That's how TradingView and NinjaTrader handle it. MultiCharts also seems to have an excellent version of Kagi, as their documentation shows their Kagi charts are stable for real-time automation and backtesting because they properly alternate states in real-time between "in-process" and "fixed". I'm assuming their state changes from "in-process" to "fixed"when a Kagi bar has completed and the next bar starts building: https://www.multicharts.com/trading-software/index.php?title=Kagi&mobileaction=toggle_view_desktop All my systems look at completed bars, however the issue of the vanishing and reappearing Kagi bars in Sierra Chart makes it impossible to trade Kagi in Sierra. I can make a video if required and make my chartbook and spreadsheet public if it would help. Maybe most people put Kagi on a time-based chart, but that isn't a requirement. There must be something simple going on here. Thanks for your continued help and for such excellent trading software. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2022-11-17 01:07:35
