@Rui S - With V20 sliding issue could be due to someother issue. Anyway - would you please check this version and let me know?

Thanks

Since I installed version 21 the price action wasn't good for testing the studies. Neither of them (versions 15 and 21) showed the problem.

I will have to wait until Monday to test it out properly.

I will let you know as soon as I have any conclusion.

Have a nice weekend.

Thanks.

@ejtrader

I hope you had a great weekend.

Here I am again, to report my testing regarding version 21 vs version 15:

In short, when version 15 "misplaces" trades (they slip to the next bar), version 21 misses (doesn't plot) those same trades.

I did not see any misplace or repetition with version 21, it apparently just doesn't plot those trades that version 15 misplaces.

So it seems that version 15 is still ahead.

I attached just three screenshots for you to take a look.

Thanks.

@Rui S - Here is another version for you to try.

Thanks

Version 22 running and being tested but the price action is not helping.

Regular trading hours session has just finished and what I could see was not conclusive.

So, I will have to wait for tomorrow's session to test it properly.

As usual, I will let you know as soon as I have any conclusions.

Thanks.

@Rui S - Also - Would you please try this version(v23) as well along with v22?

Thanks

Here I am with versions 22 and 23 testing report.

In short:

Version 22 is missing the trades that version 15 misplaces on the next bar - meaning that version 22 is behaving the same way as its previous versions. I also witnessed a few trades where versions 15 and 23 plotted those trades correctly but version 22 missed them.

Version 23 is replicating version 15 exact behavior - misplacing some trades / plotting on the next bar.

I know you said it wouldn't be necessary but I am attaching some more screenshots in two posts - I think it is the only way I can explain to you what I am seeing in these tests.

Thanks.

@ejtrader

Two more screenshots attached with examples.

Now, as I mentioned before, I am concerned about you spending more of your time with this issue.

You have done more than enough and "rescued" me after that SC upgrade, when version 3 stopped working.

Believe me, I can manage with version 15 because I am able now to recognize when and how it fails.

Anyway, I will be with you for whatever you decide to do.

Thank you.

Hello @ejtrader,

I hope everything is going well with you.

First of all I want to apologize for bothering you again with the Volume Threshold study. I am really sorry but you are the person who best knows how to work with it - you are the genius who invented it, right?

Now to the problem: I live in Portugal and the time zone here is GMT (same as London), with Daylight Savings Time. As you now the time has now advanced 1 hour due to the DST.

After this 1 hour advance in time the study stopped working. I thought the problem should be related with the time change so I delayed SC Time Zone 1 hour to test the study and this way it started working well again.

After this first test I run some more tests and concluded that if I delay SC for different time zones (1 to 5 hours) the study always works well. However, if I advance SC Time Zone to more than GMT (including +1 hour DST) the study stops working.

Thus, here I am again humbly asking you if you could please take a look at the code and put the study working well with the GMT / DST Time Zone, if it is not too much trouble...

If somehow you can not do it I will have to work with my charts and studies 1 hour delayed in order to have the Volume Threshold study working again. It would not be my preferred solution as you can imagine.

I am attaching the Volume Threshold 15 cpp file that I am using in case you don't have it anymore.

Sorry to trouble you again.

I look forward for your reply.

Thanks.

Rui

@Rui S - Sorry took sometime to get back to you on this as I haven't checked futures.io (formerly BMT) for few days.

Attached is the corrected version ( no functional changes ). Please give it a try and let me know.

Thanks.
