cTrader 3.5 showing PSARs in the middle of a candle?!
02 Jul 2019, 08:33


See attached images.

12 - 12:45pm Tuesday West AustralianTime (UTC+8).

AUDNZD H1 chart. PSAR at default settings.

PSARs should never be contained within a candle.

Reproducible with Pepperstone. Open up new chart on UTC+8, AUDNZD 1 hour chart, add in Parabolic SAR with the default settings.

Bingo. It's in the middle of the candle.

Thank you @Panagiotis.

Does your team need any testers? I've been averaging finding a bug a month :-)

Did this on the M1 chart of the US30 as well -- PSARs inside candles.

Not fixed yet?

Hi Team Spotware:

Any ideas when the fix/update is going to be released for this? It's still happening 2 months after being reported.

See attached screen capture.

Thank you.

It's still happening in Version 3.6 as you can see:

It wasn't flipped when the candle passed through it.

Hi FireMyst,

Shouldn't it be flipped when the close price passes through and not the high/low?

Yes. And the CLOSE did pass through it. When a candle is open, the close is the current price until the actual candle closes. I believe that's what the cbot frame returns with MarketSeries.Close.Last(0) for every OnTick.

Thus when the price went down through the PSAR to form the low, the close would have passed the PSAR, and should have flipped it.

Here's an example from another broker's platform:

RE: RE:

One more example -- the candle just went through the PSAR, then came back up. But it flipped the PSAR as expected because the "close" price passed through it to form the low:

Here's the PSAR again in the middle of the candle. UK100 M1 chart from today. Pepperstone cTrader v3.6

RE:

We're now up to Version 3.7 of cTrader Desktop and this issue still isn't resolved?

Spotware, this isn't looking good that indicators supplied with your product aren't working properly, and haven't  been working for several versions now.

PSAR caught in middle of candle
