Subject : RE: Volume Scaling Problem
Posted : 2/12/2012 7:06 AM
Post #25850 - In reply to #25848

Unfortunately OT has a weakness when it comes to plotting multiple indicators on the same chart. If the two+ indicators have the same bounded scale, like STOC or RSI, then it works fine. But if either indicator has an unbounded scale (ie flexible max &/or min), then the scale for the two will not be the same. See the overlapping different values on the right of your pic.

This happens since OT optimizes the use of vertical space based on the currently-displayed min and max of each indicator, independently. That's a good thing for indic's on a dedicated pane, but messes things up for situations like yours.

This usually can be solved simply using OLang, by creating a custom indicator which simply plots the two canned indicators together.

There have been many feature requests over the years for OT to be given mor intelligence re plotting multiple indic's manually on a common screen.
