But if one didn't care about volume, would 15 second bars work? Would they be valid as far as prices go? -Stephen

Can't at least some software generate sub-minute bars? Perhaps 15 second or 10 second bars. Not tick, but maybe sufficient. -Stephen

It worked! Thanks to those that helped. I would not have figured this out if I tried all day. So this is a chart of simulated data from Ninja Trader. I was told it is random and NOT a loop. Is this helpful for practice trading? Is it a joke? Regards, Stephen

Trying again, Stephen.

It didn't. Just saw your post cnms2. I will try. -Stephen

I don't think this will work. Chart has a .CLP extension. -Stephen

Can't get image into My Pictures as a png image (like my other charts). -Stephen

EdgeHunter You are a genius. I have got it into My Pictures. I will try to post it. If you have the music we have the chords. hee hee (That is, microtonal music.) -Stephen

I'm trying to display a chart. I used to know how to take the image on the screen and paste it into clipboard and view it. I forgot how. Ctrl-Alt-PrintScreen???then??? Right clicking on the chart brings up a non-Windows menu. (The Ninja menu.) -Stephen

Lamont C Are you saying you use tick bars exclusively? -Stephen

Okay. -Stephen

Yes I know. But a 5 minute bar chart is only *totally* valid after 5 minutes. 9:35 9:40 9:45 etc. We know this. I think I'm having difficulty explaning myself in this idea. -Stephen

Stephen wrote: Moving averages should not skew. *************************** That is, if one is using a 4 period simple on 5 minute bars the moving average will be invalid at the beginning of the trading day. I guess after 20 minutes after the open the average should be fine. (?) -Stephen

1000 We don't understand each other. (Or I just don't understand what you're saying.) The idea is to see valid 5 minute (or whatever time period) bars updated on the minute. Tick charts don't come up here. Moving averages should not skew. -Stephen

Lamont C Of course we don't have to talk about candles. Colored-coded bars are fine to display price flow. -Stephen

I thought the e-mini S&P 500 was open on Saturdays? Is this true? -Stephen

Lamont C Wrote: True. The "bar" is completely irrelevant. All that matters is the price flow. How one displays it has nothing to do with that flow. *********************************************** The idea here is to catch a up (down) move as it begins. When looking at a 5 minute...

Hi Does anyone use rolling bars in their charts? I'm not sure if this is a real term or not. The idea goes like this: Why wait 5 minutes to see the next bar (candle) on a chart? Have the chart update 5 minute bars (candles) every minute. The first bar of the day would vary in...
