Timeframe

Post by Dot Trotter »

Hello Ted,

In one of the earlier posts, you suggested using tick or volume charts. Using DG2C_pro, I tried these on mini dow and mini s/p. On tick and volume charts, using regular session, it does not give bars for overnight session, and if I change to 24 hr session, I get error message to call you for keycode. Thanks

On emini and most electronic symbols these days the regular session covers virtually 24 hours and the "24-hour" setting is an anomaly. SO, use regular session.

Overnight sessions on regular settings track tick charts for me so if you are still having difficulty with this send me a workspace and I will look at it. Note that if you have a very long tick chart the bar may not form until one full bar has been completed; in the overnight hours with little activity you may need to have a bar complete before you start to see charting. Try a very short tick bar to check this...
