Shares per bar

Postby Algyros » 17 Nov 2010

Does Multicharts have the capacity to create a chart based on shares/bar. In TS, there is a setting for volume that allows you to do this. When I go to my MC Instrument > Settings > Resolution I see no volume setting. Is there a way to do this on Multicharts?

Dear Algyros,

Are you talking about shares/contracts chart? You can chose Contracts in Format Instrument > Settings > Resolution.

Dave,

I'm not sure if that's what I'm looking for.

In TS, if you go to Volume > Interval Setting, there's a box where you can set Share Bar. So, for example, I would set the chart for 1000 shares/bar.

If I set 1000 under Contracts in Multicharts, will I achieve the same thing (I'm not talking about futures, btw)?

Thanks,
Alex

Dear Algyros,

Yes, it is almost the same as Share Bar in TS.
