What can be the problem? I have a ES 1 sec chart. I have a ES Tick 1 sec chart. I Overlayed the Price to the Tick chart several different ways, and still get gaps and missing bars. You would think during trading hours, the market might have gone so quick to miss a sync. But after hours I reload charts, even delete and re-add data and still the missing bars. To be more specific. For instance, On my Tick chart I have a 9:31:09 bar. On the 1 second ES chart I have the 9:31:09 bar too. So both feeds/charts have the bars. (Actually TransACT has "some missing bars" [usually none for TICK], but that has to do with their/my feed I presume,so I'll deal with them for that). Regardless, the Overlay does not transfer the bars. Even AFTER the market is closed and speed isn't an issue. I used the "Study/Price Overlay" study. I also tried a "Simple Moving Average" studies on my 1 sec ES chart (length=1) for bar Hi/Low (since that is what I wanted) and Overlayed with the "Study/Price Overlay" study to the 1 sec Tick chart and still missing bars. Bottom line is the Overlay/Price Study is not transferring the data accurately. What could be the problem? Part B of problem: I have some simple alerts on my Tick chart that get triggered (ie: with an arrow). For quickness, I overlay them to the ES chart so I can see the Tick analogies on my ES chart. Problem is with the above problem sometimes it doesn't transfer them to the ES even though they show on the Tick chart. This typically happens when the NEXT bar on the ES chart is missing. So I imagine it has something to do with the computation of the alert after the bar completes for that fraction of a second since the next bar is missing. I would've assumed it would just put the Overlayed alert on the next bar if the next chronological bar is missing. Is there some box to chk/uncheck to get it to compute differently? It obviously does it fine for the chart its on, but when Overlayed again, its Lost in Translation. Thx |

I realized the solution to the "Part B" of the above question by changing to YES the "Fill blanks with last Value" of the Overlay study. Still wonder why the Overlay Price/Chart doesn't overlay all the data? |

The only way we can clearly understand this specific case is if we have a remote assistance session with you where you show us the problem. This is the way for us to gain a proper understanding of what is happening. The cost is USD.65 per minute. Should take about 15 to 20 minutes and then we can think about what the solution will be and either take care of it right away or get back to you. Late afternoons or evenings are the best time for us. Just let us know what day of the week. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.
