I've noticed a plotting error in Tradestation that has been annoying
before, but it's really getting maddening now.
Often it seems that TS does not plot, or erases, parts of indicator
lines as it updates a chart in realtime. I've often seen this
manifest as missing or "broken/dotted" lines where I *know* a line
should be. You can look in the Data Window to verify that the
indicator has a value at that point, even though there is no line on
the screen. You can also replot the chart (by iconizing & restoring
TS, or by switching to another workstation and back) and then it
looks like it should.
I've attached two small GIFs to illustrate an example. "before.gif"
shows the way the indicator looks if you let the chart update for a
few minutes. Notice the broken yellow line, and the shortened green
line. "after.gif" shows what it looks like after refreshing the
screen.
In this particular case, the indicator updates all three lines every
tick. However, all lines don't get updated every bar. The purple
line is updated once per bar, and the yellow and green update every 3
and 5 bars.
It's very annoying to have the indicators be "invisible" unless you
replot the chart every few minutes. Is there any way around this bug?
