Did you use "Show Actual trades" in AA ?
Or were using PlotShapes to produce this chart?

If you are using PlotShapes you have to have 4 separate statements
to plot arrows the same way as AA window.

But because you didn't provide details how did you produce the
picture you have sent it is impossible to tell.
