When the market is closed on a Friday (July 4, March 21 in 2008) the
weekly bar on a chart for that week is date stamped as Friday and the
close is from Thursdays close. Altho, there is no Friday marked in the
globalserver, TS 2000 and TS 8.x use Thursdays close to construct a
weekly bar stamped with Fridays date.
On a weekly CHART for which there is a week missing (due to a closed
market) a Friday , the bar for that week is included in calculations,
but NOT in RadarScreen (RS) for TS 2000. If a print statement is
included in an indicator and added to both RS and a chart at a weekly
interval, ONLY in the chart is a value printed for the weekly bar when
the market is closed that Friday.
And the value for certain indicators in RS and a chart will be different
due to the dropped weekly bar in RS (this is how I discovered this
(bug?)). This difference is not due to the well known effect of not
loading enough extra bars.
Add a print statement to the indicator "Mov Avg 1 line" and include 50
additional bars for RS. Load into a weekly chart and RS. For RS the bars
for July 4 and March 21 will be missing when using TS 2000. TS 8.x does
not have this problem.
Anyone else experince this bug and is there a workaround (besides using
TS 8.x)?
