I am using the ADXVMA ver 1-5-1, and see that the ARROWS do not update in realtime. Only if I do a refresh (F5) do they appear. It is the last arrow that does not show up in realtime. It normally shoud appear after a row of dots (chop area) you get an up or down arrow.

hi perry,

did you try calc-on-bar-close = true ?
sometimes with cobc = false stuff is not working as expected.

To followup on the above and make it more clear. YOu normally get a DIAMOND, then the chop dots in a straight line, and usually when the dots have finished your get an UP or Down arrow on the very next bar. This does not happen and only if I do the refresh do I get this arrow. The up and down arrows should also appear when there is a turn in the direction of the trend. This also does not show up, only after a refresh. I am using CLOSE=FALSE

MAX-TD,

Yes, it now works. Thank you. But I still would like to have it work on CLOSE=FALSE. Is there anyway that this can be fixed, or is it a bug in NT. As I trade with RAnge bars (6 Range), by using the Close=True, I can loose a full bar when entering, which can then be 6-10 ticks.

nice to hear it works.
i think its a NT-issue somehow - we watched this on a few indicators.
i think no one found the solution at the end for this cobc = false-problem - but dont remember exactly .....

on the other hand - as long as a bar is not closed / ended - there is a risk that it flips back + closes the other way arround without triggering a signal.

i dont think if its wrong to wait until barclose to trigger a signal - epecialy with rangebars.
..... just my thoughts to that.

I use a little indicator called "RangeBarTarget", that show me in real time exactly where the range bar is going to close, so that if I get in realtime an Arrow in one direction, I can place my Stop order one tick above the "RangeBarTarget" indicator. Now if it does not close as predicted, and the Arrow was a realtime fake, I still do not get entered into the trade, because I know in advance exactly where the bar must close in order for the arrow indicactor to be valid.

In normal instances you are correct to wait for the bar to actually close, but the use of this indicator can save you a lot of grief, but can also get you into a trade exactly at the right moment.
