Automatic forward slow in lower time frames with PSAR

Post by DwFX »

Hi,
I've noticed since the recent update that the Automatic forward has slowed considerably in time frames 1hr & below and also when using spacer bar for single candle. It happens once I place the parabolic SAR indicator on the chart. I have tested it on GBP-JPY, EUR-JPY and GBP-USD charts. I have deleted the data and reloaded for each of the charts. Its ticks over approx. 1 candle for every 2 seconds. The 4hr and daily chart seem much quicker.

I can put MA's on the chart and works fine, but slows as soon as i put the PSAR are a chart...

Thanks
Darren

Hello,
This is surprising because we didn't modify the way the indicators are rendered in the last update.
Anyway, we optimized the way the PSAR indicator is calculated, the source code of the DLL has been updated on our Github.
You can download the new version here and copy it in your "indicators" folder :
https://github.com/NakedMarkets/Indicat ... abolic.dll

It should be much faster now

Hello,

Thank you for your assistance, auto-forward is back to normal now.

But, I'm sorry I think the new PSAR indicator may have an issue, as the PSAR position changes on the chart when I move backwards (backspace key) on the chart and then move move forward again, the PSAR value is different...

I am using GBP-JPY on 30min timeframe, the PSAR settings are = START = 0.01, STEP = 0.01, MAXIMUM = 0.20
I've attached some screengrabs to try help explain what I'm seeing...
screen 1 is the original pass
screen 2 went back about 2 days and then forward
screen 3 back about 1/2 day
Thanks again,
Darren

Hello,

Thanks for your detailed report of the issue.
Since, we optimized the calculation of the indicator to be faster, indeed, the backward feature could affect the calculation.
We are analyzing this issue and will come back with a solution
