I have more luck with price-based bars than say time or volume based bars

I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing a problem with SBSrenko NT7 bar accuracy ...... basically, around the session start or finish I get a random bar with either wrong body size or tail size ....... I am reffering to the SBSrenko bars posted in the message #12 in this thread ..... if anyone is willing to share a solution to this problem I'd greatly appreciate it ..... thanks

zikonc,

Apply the fix in post 35 to any chart type that you don't want to see the new bar at midnight issue.

I have altered the code in all custom chart types that I use.

Thanks RJay,

I am using the file posted by gregid at the beginning of this thread ...... his file only has "if (bars.Count < 2)" statement so I had nothing to modify ....... I did make a modification per #35 on range charts .... Mike mentioned that SBSRenko (I guess in NT7) has been known to have this issue so I am stuck with what has been done so far by others until new versions comes along ......

Thanks roonius .... I think somthing has to be messed up on my end since I am still getting the same type of errors ...... I tried your SbSrenko conversion with and without the fix from post #35, with different session templates, with reload of historical data (I deleted the records from Historical Data Manager and forced the reload) .... and I think that's it ...... I am using this little script to check for any discrepancies ...... hmmm, maybe NT7 support still has few outstanding things to work on? ......
