5min MA on a 25tick chart

Postby NW27 » 23 Jul 2011

Hi,

The main chart (Data1) is a 25tick chart. On this I'm currently displaying a 5min 20 period moving average (Data2, being displayed on Subchart #1).
I have set the Style of the 5min instrument to "Invisible Bars" so that all I see on the chart is the 25 tick bars.

To a degree, this works fine, what my issue is, is that the 25tick chart has gaps between some of the bars. This is where the 5min bars would be, if they were to be displayed.

If I set the Data2 Instrument (5min) Subchart to "Hide" as opposed to say Subchart #1 or #2, this throws the 5min MA off ie 10 points from where it should be. Regardless, the 25tick chart still has gaps between some of the bars where I 5min bar would typically have been generated.

How do I get rid of the gaps ????

Neil.

P.S. I would attach a sample chart but I get "Sorry, the board attachment quota has been reached."

If you mean what I think you mean - this (sadly) can't be done.

See MC-377 - Keep X Scale of Data1 when 'hidden' Data2 is in different time frame [Feature Request].
