Fibo lines bundle up in MT4 after weekly restart

It seems that you prefer to complain to Metaquotes, when they probably won't even be listening here, rather than trying to solve your issue. So I'll leave you to it, have fun.

is it up to the consumer to solve a mickey mouse software's issue???...i always thought the supplier has to supply the goodies...metaqoutes may or my not solve the issue ....i certainly will ...move on to a better platform if I have too ....and let the kids try to solve the holly grail....on MT4, while getting hammered in the process.....

Earth to pablo. Do you think there any consumer grade software that isn't full of bugs? Certainly not Microsoft or Google and definitey not Metaquotes. You have a choice, so you can certainly use someone else's buggy software. But you cannot escape it. We programmers are only human wirh human like flaws.

However I know for a fact, in case of a flaw like the one showing up on MT4, which may or may not affect a Chartist...top of the line technical analysis and market charting software will not show this flaws and if so it would be addressed swiftly by the vendor....no doubt, and not left to the public to be resolved. No joke.....Not sure if U ever tried professional software driven by independent data vendors like e-signal, DTN, CQG, Reuters..(see link blw.) to name a few??? I just happened to have the opportunity over the last 30 years or so of trading......to try a few....when glitches show up...THEY WILL BE RESOLVED.....Traders trade.... and don't have time to resolve a vendors software problem ..especially not a trivial rudimentary one like bundled vertical lines on minute charts after a weekly restart (see attachment above)... just wont happen or else this vendor will be out to lunch soon...

Now having said that. If someone has a solution ..not a mickey mouse workaround....pls. let me know.....it may be beneficial to all of us including Metaquotes.....like i said before..if this flaw is in the mainstream media... .some competitors to MT4 will have a heyday...... my 5.

So you think its fair to compare Bloomberg and eSignal to MT4??? You have no clue about the difference between commercial grade and consumer grade software, obviously.

Last time I checked, they had monthly subscription fees in the hundreds and thousands of dollars. Welcome to the bargain basement section of the retail trading market. If you can't adapt, go back to the high rent district and stop wasting everyone's time with your whining. Here a simple idea you should keep in mind. You get what you pay for. And since you are not paying for my time, no more posts from me.

OH COME ON!!!

Stop your bullshit and put your thinking cap on for just a damn moment! What you have had explained to you is that MT4 only shows the bars that the BROKER sends it. You don't see any bars with nothing on it when the broker closes on the weekend. There is no horizontal gap! The BROKER never sends you data for the weekend after they have arbitrarily decided to stop taking and receiving orders. This means that if you place your indicators at a time at the end of the week where your BROKER, by THEIR POLICY, messes with that last bit of overhanging, remainder, bits of bar data at the end of the week which doesn't neatly fit into a full days worth of bar data then your indicator is going to have a BAD TIME. IF the BROKER adjusts those last few bits of data from a Friday by merging it into the start of the Sunday data the next week and then just removing the Friday date from it's server (as it's now a part of the Sunday), then your indicators are going to have a BAD TIME when any of their times are set into that last bit of data at the end of the week.

IF your BROKER doesn't care about having odd half-days at the end and / or start of their data week then your chart will have an extra daily bar compared to other brokers who merge it into a more cohesive set of only 'full' days.

IF your trading is dependent on angle / slopes of lines then you are always going to have a BAD TIME, because not everybody sees the exact same bar data as you do. This is commonly understood by anybody who has sat and thought about it for a moment. Why do you think there is always such a shitstorm about what GMT timezones brokers set their servers to?

Maybe it's not MT4 that is the problem here!
