Bell and whistle request: filled hollow candlestick option

I like hollow candlesticks because the wick has the same colour as the body of the bar.

I do not like candlesticks because the wick cannot be the same colour as the body of the bar.

Would it be possible to make an option for the hollow sticks to be filled?

With snap off you should be able to draw a trend line anywhere (maybe 3 to 5 seconds to complete) . I use a modified gan fan to on very rare occasion draw one. That is because I use the trend line for other things (no extension). I always have snap off.

It depends on overall system load. OK, for the purpose of building the trading rig I will assume that only 1 core will be used. I will go for one highly clocked CPU to mitigate a potential risk of bottleneck when plotting charts. The trading rig that I have in mind will have either 6 or 12 monitors...

Depending on what is identified on the screenshot I might once again ask you to produce a slightly different screenshot after the session close (ES or NQ). On the second sreenshot we will coun...

Guys, Do this exercise: set the symbol's resolution to ''1 Day''. Then apply volume study to the symbol and check if both volume value displayed in the status bar is the same as the volume value displayed in the study as in this screenshot (build volume on: trade volume): http://forum.tssupport.com/...

Andrew,

Rest assured that if the incorrect results on resolution quality that I was given by MC result from my entering bad symbol settings in QM, I will remove all my posts (expect for volume) and I will remove the screenshots.

My goal is to prove that our charting is correct (except volume bars that we already increased to 30 splits). If my arguments are not correct, we will fix the problems. So far we see that your range bars tests are incorrect. Here is why: You use 100 points bars. 100 points is about full day movemen...

Please use the DLL attached and you will not encounter the spikes. What I want you to reproduce is under-complete bars. I strongly suggest you to install the beta 4 and the DLL. Otherwise it is likely you waste your time. Andrew, I am still using the beta 2. What I will do after a few days or a wee...

Tresor,
Could you specify "bad data management"? What exactly doesn't work?
Please refer for this to the e-mail I sent to you and 3 brokers (and data feed providers) and the broker's reply. 30th Jan 2009.

I've just checked range bars on DAX symbol and they are all identical. I can send screenshots to prove. I need to know your settings in QuoteManager for this symbol. If they are wrong the bars will be spitted improperly. Here is the screenshot with DAX settings (the same as yours). As you can see t...

You should understand that if I don't have the indicator code I never know how you calculate it. Please use the standard volume indicator or disclose the code. Otherwise the screenshots don’t allow us to be 100% that it is true. Here you are: a screenshot with both Counter and the standard volume i...

Please publish the counter study. We need to see how it is calculated. Hello Andrew, I would be reluctant to publish the study. At least not now for two reasons: 1. It is still a Beta (it uses the computer’s time to measure time resolution’s correctness while it should use EL Time&Sales, which my p...

Constant Volume Bar "Holes" another problem with MC's constant volume bar logic: it seems that when the tick has more contracts than the bar specification, MC simply divide the number by 5. e.g. if the chart calls for a 100 contract volume bar and the tick has 250 contracts, MC would simply divide ...

Hi Tresor, If you run multiple instances of MultiCharts, there will be no situation when you have one core 100% loaded and hardly coping while other cores remain idle.

Marina,

I have prepared another case. If I open 4 instances of MC (as per attached screenshot), then (i) will each MC instance be assigned to a separate core OR (ii) will 1 core be handling all 4 instances of MC and 3 other cores will be resting?

Regards
