Multi series calculation/indicator/plotting error (MC v8.7)
Posted: Aug 14 2013
On the latest version of MultiCharts 8.7 (Build 7634), there appears to be a bug with multi-series calculation and plotting. The issue is described below:
- I have 2 instruments inserted into a chart, actually one continuous futures contract (6E #F) but at two different resolutions: 50-contracts (Data1) and 500-contracts (Data2).
- I have a test indicator that plots the closing price for each bar for both of the above instruments. I have set "Base Study On" to Data2, which is the slower 500-contracts series.
Specifically, the test indicator code is:
The problem I'm having is that the indicator doesn't show/calculate values for both plots for each bar on the chart. The latest version of MC only calculates values at the slower bar interval (i.e. 500 contracts). The values for Plot1 are "empty" for the Data1 bars in-between the Data2 bars. Please refer to the attached image to see what I mean.
I didn't have this issue when I was using MultiCharts 8.5. Can this issue be fixed for the new version?
Many thanks for your assistance.

Code: Select all
VARIABLES:
C1(0),
C2(0);
C1 = Close of Data1;
C2 = Close of Data2;
Plot1(C1, "Close Data1");
Plot2(C2, "Close Data2");
