Has anyone out there tried using Renko or Three Line Breaks on real time
charts with the 7.01 and 7.00? They worked correctly with end of day data;
howevere,I've noticed inconsistencies with both Renko and Three Line Breaks
in real time with all time frames. The problem is that the bars redraw
themselves after being closed. I am not talking about the last/or most
recent bar, but bars that have been closed several bars back. It doesn't
happen all the time, and unless you use it all the time you won't notice.
The best way to notice this is to open two charts of the same
security/commodity in real time...say in 1 min. one never refresh...after
about twenty bars or so click refresh on one chart and you'll see how the
program will recalculate and draw one of the charts differently than the
other. So which chart is right? The charts should not differ. As there is
a set reversal amount for the bars. I am familiar with the calculations of
both Renko and Three Line Breaks and have done them by hand, and MetaStock
draws them incorrectly in real time. I've brought this problem to tech
support's attention several times and have e mailed them, but they have never
gotten back to me. I am very disappointed because this stuff works great
with end of day data and back testing; however, in real time it is a let
down. Any help would be appreciated -Sonny-
