MultiCharts: Trading Software for Automated Trading and Backtesting

When i draw a trend line (freestyle) and clone that line the angle of the cloned line is different.
also when i open properties for the line and close without changing a thing the trendline is moved/snapped to close of candle.

this is in 8.7 beta 2 build 7263
(windows 8/64 bit)

any ideas?

Thanks

Hello O66,

Please set the Chart Shift option to "Bars" in Format->Window->X-time scale.

tx will try that

hi,

i have mixed results.
see video: http://screencast.com/t/ZoON8qyW

any ideas?

You have mixed results because you are changing from "Bars" to "Percent" Chart Shift.
With "Percent" Chart Shift that is not technically possible to have the cloned trendline end coordinates the same as the original trendline when the trendline end point is on the chart shift area or outside of the chart window.
You need to use "Bars" Chart Shift in order your cloned trendline to match the original one.

well you can try for yourself if you like.
the default setting is bars.
i changed that inb my video to let you see that i have the correct settings

sometimes the clone is ok, but i have many times a clone with a different angle, despite the bar setting in chart shift.
call me crazy or what but it's not always a 100% clone

Please set the Chart Shift to "Bars" and make it default for all new charts.
Create new chart. Do not switch Chart Shift modes back and forth. Draw your trendlines so that the end point is not outside the chart. Clone it. Are the trendlines get incorrect angle now?
If yes then provide exact steps for replicating this behavior.

as you can see i draw the line while setting for chart shift is set to bars
i draw the line inside the chart
then clone the line and this clone is presented party outside the chart and the line isnt a correct clone.
isnt this a bug?

or what is it what im doing wrong?

edit: did restart of mc and trried again.
first clone is not good, 2nd and 3rd are ok.
looks like that as soon you draw a line with endpoint right from last candle its going wrong
