Buy/Sell fill arrows not aligned

[mb4x4]

Hey guys,

Any way to make the fill arrows centered on intraday candlesticks? They're all over the place, often just floating out in space. I've check all the settings, am I missing something?

Thanks

They are set on the exact time of the trade. Not on the candle.

Thanks Mike. I'm a recent MT convert coming over from DAS Trader which centers fill arrows so I guess it's throwing me off more than I would have thought.  I do think having them centered keeps charts much cleaner but I guess I'm alone in that thinking if no one has mentioned it hah. 

Thanks

P.s... I used DAS for years and no other platform could convince me to leave, until MT.  Great job guys.

in your picture of the DAS chart, note that you can't tell exactly how far apart the buy/sell were on the same candle. or where you had 2 sells at different prices on the same candle, which came first

Yes, good point. Having them at exact locations on the X axis does give more precise info on trade. For some reason it's just throwing me off, I figured after a couple of months of MT I'd have adjusted. Would it be possible to implement a "centered" option in settings (turned OFF by default) for those familiar with centered markers? If not that's fine, it'll just take more time.

Thanks

A bit more digging, it appears Sterling Trader Pro which is what I used before DAS, also centers its fill markers which explains why I'm so familiar with that look. Yes it's a small thing but for visual people like myself it can make a big difference in "flow state" trading.  I know quite a few traders looking to ditch their expensive brokers (using DAS/Sterling) so I think this will be a common request at some point. Would be great to at least have the option.

Thanks
