Post From: Adjusting / moving drawings after futures rollover

Hello, Thanks for this. 1. I am aware that drawings copied from other charts won't move. I'm only referring to native drawings. I think this may be related to your last comment about adjusting more than one symbol and/or multiple charts at a time. Please see below. 2. Good to know. I will also test the new version by duplicating some charts and arbitrarily adjusting drawings up/down since it is not rollover time. This rather obscure functionality is not a trivial issue at all as it is one of the most time-consuming tasks I have to do regularly on SC. If the functionality to automatically move drawings cannot be trusted to work reliably, I have to manually move them in order not to risk trading with inaccurate data. My profile charts are marked up with hundreds of drawings -- composites, naked VPOCs, HVNs, poor extremes, single prints, etc. - so that they can then be superimposed on lower time frame charts of all persuasions. I've seen many other traders do the same. So imagine manually moving a three-digit number of drawings times multiple profile charts times multiple markets/symbols. For the indexes alone (which have the largest number of associated profile charts), this takes half a day x 4 times a year = 2 whole days a year manually moving and adjusting drawings. I'd be willing to pay a lot of money (as in donate to your development) to make sure this functionality is rock-solid and can be 100% trusted to be accurate and to not miss any drawings. Thanks for listening! As far as your latest comment re: not moving more than one symbol at a time, that sounds right. When I get the prompt "symbol needs to roll over, click to roll over", etc., and go with it, the originally described behavior tends to occur more frequently. When I get it on multiple symbols with multiple charts each at the same time in the same chartbook, it gets worse. When I then adjust the drawings after the fact, some seem to get left behind, some move inaccurately, etc. If, instead, I manually change the symbol and adjust one chart at a time, and one symbol at a time, there are much fewer issues. This is anecdotal, but what you said definitely has the ring of truth, though I have no idea why. Hope this helps fix it for everybody. |
