ehjump Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Hello Jerry; I saved some historical charts with horizontal lines as templates but the horizontal lines were not saved in the templates. I'm reporting this as a bug because my intraday templates save their own horizontal lines. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Not a bug. Horizontal Lines are only stored with the templates if they are not set to a fixed value (if they are set to daily high/low for example). Fixed values are specific to a particular symbol, which is why they are not saved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehjump Posted February 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Okay, got it. Thanks for clearing that up for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehjump Posted February 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Jerry, Actually the horizontal lines are saved even with fixed values - this is GOOD! Though from your reply above it does not look like that is your intent, I like that the horizontal lines are saved even with the fixed values. I think the user can always change the values to suit the symbol after loading the template - better than having to "re-add" horizontal lines each time he/she loads the template especially if one has many lines. The problem I had was when I try to load the template over an already existing historical chart, the horizontal lines disappeared. But, if I load the template as a "new chart", the horizontal lines are there with the saved values. This occurs with intraday charts also. If I may, I'd like to ask that you make the horizontal lines load with the template when loading over an existing chart. Or at least leave it as is, and not "fix" it to what you described above. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry Medved Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 think of it this way. lets say the H.Line is set to adjust scale and saved at level 10 and you then load that template for GOOG. The result will be a chart which you cannot see basically and also emails to support, or perception with "this program sucks" and a lost client.

Jerry Medved Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 I did a compromise - instead of removing the Horizontal Line, I instead stripped the Adjust Scale option (if it was set) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehjump Posted February 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Thanks. I initially bulked at the thought of losing the "adjust scale", but after thinking about it I accept that that's a good compromise. Also, users can pad the y-axis scale if they need to bring the line into focus. I really appreciate your working with me on this - hopefully others will benefit from this too.
