I found kase bars useful previously for developing systems in TS.
Are there any plans to bring MC into line with TS with the data bars supported and include Kase bars

To clarify
As my Mc is configured a point bar is closed as soon as the range is met except for the closing bar of the day the bar could end intra minute
For A Kase bar in TS I set the interval to 1 minute.
The bar will not close until the end of the minute interval.
Therefore the bar range could be > target range.
If the range is < target range the bar will roll to the next minute end and so on.

Dear jl12
Point Original is no longer available on the list of resolutions, but it is still present in the program. What you need to do is use the Command Line in MultiCharts (the blank white bar on a toolbar, which says "type a symbol/interval"). Select the chart you want to apply the resolution to and then type in "X point(original)" where X is the number of points. For example, you can use "1 point(original)", or "5 point(original)". Make sure you type the resolution without quotation marks, and make sure there is no space between the word "point" and the opening bracket.
This resolution does not exactly replicate the Kase bars used by TS. The TS Kase bar approach uses minute data to construct the bars, while the X point(original) resolution is built out of ticks for maximum accuracy.

I have long enjoyed the point(original) bars, and have been typing the resolution into the command bar ever since they were taken away from the main list.
Today I noticed in MC6beta2 that when I save point(original) bars as part of a workspace, the workspace gets re-loaded as a point chart. I've looked in the wsp file and verified that ResolutionName = 'Point(original)' inside it. So the information is saved, but apparently not restored when loading the workspace.
Any help with this?

Actually today it worked as expected, so I'm not sure what happened yesterday. Since I verified that the file said "Point(original)" I'm not sure how it could have been user error, but I do wake up pretty sleepy in the morning! I'll keep watching it and report back.Today I noticed in MC6beta2 that when I save point(original) bars as part of a workspace, the workspace gets re-loaded as a point chart.

Haven't had the problem in several days. I must have accidentally switched the chart type before saving the workspace that day. It's not hard to make that mistake, since format-instruments dialog doesn't know what a point(original) bar is, and changes it to point any time you need to change a setting there. grrr....I'll keep watching it and report back.
