Do you want us to post bug reports and issues here or send them in a message OR not at all? :)

[Geko]

You can post them here at least everybody will be aware of them.

If they are too many posts I will summarize them and clean the thread afterwards

One 'bug' was actually my fault, but the other one is a missing monthly open line in the D1 timeframe. Here is a screen capture.



You can see one monthly period is about 22 bars wide, then the next monthly period marker seems to be missing, between September and October, and then the Nov monthly open line is present.

Getting the monthly open considering the GMT offset and week-end is a nightmare with MT4

Which broker are you using ? and what is its gmt shift ?

[ScarletPip]

I noticed I don't have this problem on some charts - like XAUUSD for example.
Broker is VantageFX & Tickmill.
GMT offset is GMT+2.

Ok Blast fixed, update will come shortly.

The trick with a universal GMT auto offset is:

1 – to get automatically the GMT shift to calculate the daily open time and the various sessions open time (easy).
2 – to make sure this GMT shift is ok whether your broker has a positive or negative GMT shift (+1, +2, +3).
2 – to adjust the daily open time whether the instrument is a FX pair (easy, market open 24/24), or another instrument (oil, CFD, gold…) as for those other instruments market is closed a part of the night (tricky but done).
3- to get the week open time considering the infos above.
4 – to get the month open time considering the infos above and that the first day of the month is not always the 1st in MT4.

Rrrrrrrrr so simple with MT4.

For non fx instruments, I calculate the daily open time normally and then check if the candle exist, if not shift one bar to the right till a candle exist and so this candle is the Daily open.

If anybody as an easier way to get those infos...

Technically yes sure. Now trading wise I have no visibility about this indicator. The process to code such a trailing mode is explained in previous posts.

If you need help just shout

Post 1 updated with Blast latest version.

The Auto Stack option was updated.

Now when you launch the CANDLE Auto Stack, Blast will freeze the initial level to open the first trade (those initial values will be used for the first trade and won’t change with new candles).

In the previous version, when you had a new candle, the levels were adjusted with the new shift value (if you were using a shift of 2 the levels were always 2 bars back).

Once the initial trade is open the next trades will use the old method (using x bars back).

This method makes more sense to trade potential breakout.

An option is available in Blast settings to turn off this option and use the previous mode.
