Thank you so much for these new updates. The ongoing support and new feature development of this software continues to be outstanding.

I'd love to watch you James (or Peter or Dallas or Dabbla) use all the latest updates and features to see what I'm missing out on....so much to learn!

...just wondered if it would be possible to add 4th best price, 5th best and 6th best market price options to the 'place at' servant rule parameter drop-down options?

...or better still if the custom ticks above/below best market price/best reverse market price could have the 'skip price gaps' button option as we have in the custom columns editor?

The second option there seems the better idea, but please raise it in the suggestions area, as we're not making any more code changes to this build unless a bug is found.

Hi -

I've come across what looks like a small bug with Advanced Charting and thought I'd flag it up.

I'm using the History List Dynamic Range chart to plot a stored value, starting around 10 minutes before the off.

The stored value can be either positive or negative, and I've checked that the values are definitely being recorded correctly in the History List.

Here's what's happening:

If the stored value starts off negative, nothing appears on the chart until the value turns positive.

Once it turns positive, the chart starts plotting normally, but the earlier negative values aren't displayed.

Interestingly, if the stored value starts off positive and subsequently turns negative, the chart plots everything correctly, including the negative values.

So it seems the issue only occurs when the first recorded value is negative.

I've tested this on both the VPS and standard desktop versions of 1.64.0 Beta 1, with the same result.

I think I may have noticed something similar in v1.63, although it wasn't quite as obvious.

My understanding is that the Dynamic Range chart should handle both positive and negative values, so I'm wondering if there's a small issue with how the chart initially handles negative values.

Has anyone else noticed this, or is there perhaps a setting I've overlooked?

Thx

....

I just tested it by setting a Stored value with -10 and the chart displayed it immediately; then I set -6 and +2 and it's still ok, so there must be something more subtle going on. Here's an example of the chart and the settings used.

Perhaps you could upload an example Automation file and Chart Setting that shows the issue?

Apologies for the slow reply. I've been away and somehow managed to miss your response.

I've been trying to replicate the issue, and bizarrely, I can't!

What's particularly amusing is that I've been experiencing this for months, yet the moment I finally report it, it seems to have miraculously cured itself. Clearly, the software just needed to know someone was watching!

Either I've inadvertently corrected something I was doing wrong, or the bug has decided to go into hiding. Whatever the reason, I can't currently reproduce it, despite my best efforts.

Anyway, many thanks for taking the time to look into it, and apologies again for the delayed response. If it decides to make a comeback, I'll let you know!

Giles.

Well, there's been a bit of a breakthrough!

I've finally managed to replicate the problem, and it turns out it's actually the moving average that's failing to plot negative values, rather than the underlying data itself.

I'd changed my chart settings without realising it, which explains why I suddenly couldn't reproduce an issue I'd been experiencing for months. So, the good news is I haven't completely lost the plot — just partially!

Hopefully the attached screenshot helps illustrate what's happening:

Left chart top: The moving average plots correctly because the values are positive.

Middle chart top: The values are negative, and the moving average doesn't appear at all.

Right chart top: The values start negative and move into positive territory. The moving average only begins to appear once the values turn positive.

It seems to be specifically related to how the moving average handles negative values, particularly when the chart starts in negative territory.

Hopefully this gives you a clearer indication of what I've been seeing and helps narrow things down.

Thanks again for taking the time to look into it.
