If a new bar needs a price a level that is gapped over, of course the range charts will have one less than what the user specified. How do you expect the chart to show a price level that hasn't been traded at? Happens more than you think. If you are trading oil and you need 80.10 to trade and make a new bar and it goes from 80.09 to 80.11, what would you really like the chart to do?

I was just wondering you got this to sill work on OEC, i know this thread is a little old so dont know if you are even using anything like this anymore. Anyways, it doesnt seem to be working for me (on both volume and tick charts) . The attached screen shot shows 1,000 volume chart. Seems to be taking a cumulative calculation or something like that. Any ideas?

no shit. it's going to move. prolific stuff here

I dont understand this thread. You opened a forex account, so you got forex data. If you open a futures account you get futures data. If you open an equity account you get equity data. This doesnt seem so hard to follow. Bottom line is if you want futures data, open a futures account. All these "problems" are solved.

They we're giving you free data and now they arent. not sure hows thats screwing you. Kind of sounds like you just wanted the data for free without trading futures through them. Why would they do that? If you want futures data, open a futures account. Or pay the $25 or whatever it is a month for all the data you want. Still cheaper then everyone else. Dont know why you think you are getting screwed.

I love scotch. Scotchy, scotch, scotch. Here it goes down, down into my belly... Good luck, lots of good stuff here.

I attached what the settings and what they mean. You will just have to toy around with it to get it how you want. Even if you dont like my code exactly, at least this will point you in the right direction. Range Indicator.txt

i made it. ill post my code after i get some lunch. oh yeah runs fine on oec

is that what you are looking for?

I think OEC fixed this too. If you click "expand chart properties" on a chart. Its an arrow in the upper right corner of the chart and select "Show Open Times" (its the first option) and set that to off, it will show the close times. I believe thats how TS does it. Not entirely sure but that should fixed the need to convert times in EL when using OEC.

I got the setplotcolor to work in OEC. Havent used it for paintbars, but for plots it seems to work.

Wouldnt just using the regular symbol, not the continuous, take care of this problem. If you track the current and next contract then you can chose when to roll, not dependent on TS. Don't think Id trust TS with anything really.

Also, you can create your own tool bars. I like to do that since I dont have a need for 3/4ths of the standard toolbars. If you only use certain tools, no need to have a bunch of extra buttons you are never going to use.

After you put some sort of text on the chart, right click-properties. Bunch of options there. If you find the font and size you like, I'd save it as default.

Try this: Change vclose to vhigh for upper extreme warning change vclose to vlow for lower extreme warning

I found that hard coding things made it a chore to change things. That is why I try to keep things as user inputs. Im not exactly sure if that will compile, dont have anything open right now to check. The only thing that you might need to tweak would be the -MyExtreme, but not entirely sure. Also, dont know exactly what you are looking for, but adding some like >= (greater or equal to) might be of help. Not sure how many times the value chart exactly equals you extreme level, but just an idea.

If you like TS and/or use easy language you can take a look at multicharts. Basically a TS clone, but improved upon many features, especially being able to use your own data feed.

To bad that "post of the month" is gone, or at least I think it is. This has got to be up there with one of the greatest post of all time

Here is all you need for gold :

http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/f56/finding-globex-high-low-easylanguage-5616.html That thread should get you started in the right direction.

Im sick of people making double threads saying the same damn thing. If you think this place is rude or whatever, boy are you in for a rude awakening ( get it?) from the market. Ignore what you find rude and move on, no need to post that you got your feelings hurt.

It amazes me that people think that is too much. Go ahead and compare getting a data feed like DTN+charting service, or Esignal or TS. I was paying hundreds each month for that stuff and not getting 1/4th of the data. If $25/month is too rich for you, then I agree with sevensa, trading is probably not for you.
