No, it's an indicator.

You should be able to insert the attached file (vc.eld) into Tradestation.

Hellweg has a website where he gives the indicator away (at least he did) but I haven't been able to re-locate it. I can't export it from TS. I can give you the easy language code: {******************************************************************* Description : This Indicator plots Value Chart prices. Provided By : Mark W. Helweg © Copyright 2001 ********************************************************************} Inputs:NumBars(5); Variables:Vopen(0),VHigh(0),VLow(0),VClose(0),Var1(0),Var2(0); Var: VcloseLam(0),ValueSOB(" "),ValueMOB(" "),ValueMOS(" "), ValueSOS(" "), ValueFair(" "), lastdate(0); {Calcualte Value Chart} VOpen = VChart(NumBars,Open); VHigh = VChart(NumBars,High); VLow = VChart(NumBars,Low); VClose = VChart(NumBars,Close); {Plot Value Chart - Disregards the first 20 bars because Omega doesn't process them correctly} If BarNumber > Numbars then Begin Plot1(VOpen,"VOpen"); Plot2(VHigh,"VHigh"); Plot3(VLow,"VLow"); Plot4(VClose,"VClose"); End; // Value Chart Lines Inputs:Top(8),TopMid(4),BottomMid(-4),Bottom(-8); Plot5(Top); Plot6(TopMid); Plot7(BottomMid); Plot8(Bottom);

The creator of the Value Charts indicator was Mark Helweg. He graciously gave the code to the folks at Tradethemarkets to be used with attribution. Unfortunately TTM did some tweaking, rebranded it "TTM Value Charts" and now it's hard to find Helweg's name anywhere!
