Define #bars on screen via code: Possible?

Postby arjfca » 29 Aug 2016

Hello

Is there a way to define the numbers of bars to be displayed on chart?
When I use a particular indicator, I want to see only the last 3 days. I would like to automated that.

I asked to implement the same several times, due to experiences in performance issues for huge tick data load/plot etc and in a discussion about wrong implementation of <MaxBarsBack> . It was always rejected, due to 'significant changes had to make under the surface' and therefore not possible.


Kind Regards.

To prevent problem using Tick charts, I set the max bar back to 2000

You have a misunderstanding of MaxBarsBack.

You cannot find a worst time and place to bring this up,
but I will direct you to the readings you needed.

Please read the whole thread carefully.
Pay special attention to post #7 -- read my rephrase again and again until you understood the specifics!

Look at my chart in post #20,
and compare it to the chart in post #8.
It should enlighten you immediately.

@TJ

My answer here was no attempt to discuss <MaxBarsBack> again. I know the implementation, how it was taken over from TS and what was in the original planning at TS at the time this 'feature' was released.

So it was not necessary to come up with your links nor will it ever solve the issue.


Kind Regards.

Ben
