NeoTicker - bug in time bars construction
Posted: Fri Jan 19, 2007 3:43 am
Hello,
please correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems I've discovered a bug in the NeoTicker's time bars construction functionality.
Let's have the following set of ticks for a hypothetical symbol "YYYXXX" that we may directly import into NeoTicker in this format:
If we import the data into NeoTicker and plot it as simple ticks, the chart displays the data correctly:
Now if we plot the above four ticks as 15-min bars, the result should look exactly like this:
But instead we get much different and indeed incorrect representation in NeoTicker if we plot the data as a 15-min chart (with the "Enable Hour / Minute Bar Load by Tick" enabled):
And this is how the 15-min chart looks with the "Enable Hour / Minute Bar Load by Tick" option disabled (and imported with the "Construct minute bars from the imported tick data"):
Weird enough, the ticks are in fact stored correctly in the disk cache:
BUT somehow the ticks didn't make it to the minute cache safely:
If I'm not missing something, this is a serious issue.
