Thanks Nicolas,
Yes, that is what I also understood from what I observed in PRT.
Yet another example of something wrong but that becomes true because it’s a convention.
But just to put it straight, I think it’s incorrect. (sorry for this point of view!)
Take a 5 min candlestick, now decompose it in 5 x 1 min candlesticks. Now suppose you want to compute the value of the Low and High of the 5 min candlestick and that a 1 min candlestick is missing. You’re not going to look back in the previous 5 min candlestick for some data. So really, why shouldn’t it be the same for the Highest and Lowest functions?
Couldn’t that choice be left out to the user by providing additional functions or a mode in PRT? I would consider it as a plus for the platform. My signals would be earlier.
Another way to avoid the issue would be to have proOrder accept (x ticks) Time frames. I’m really impatient on that! I also know many people are urging on this feature too. I know that this is a recurring question but do you have any good news on this topic?
