Charting Question - 3 Day Bar

Xela said:
He can - clearly.

Other forums have rules about where, and how, and under what circumstances (for example posting links to their own sites in threads that have nothing to do with them, where they haven't been mentioned, isn't acceptable anywhere else). This forum doesn't have rules about that, and Matt is taking advantage of that. He's entitled to, I know. But it remains factual that he's alienating some members by doing so in the ways he chooses to (I'm not the only one, but I'm perhaps the only one willing to say so in public - and I brought it to his attention because I guessed that he genuinely hadn't realized that). That's all.

The original question of this thread was about 3 Day Bars and which platform is capable of doing it. I answered Sierra can do that and provided a link for the demo so the OP can test it. That is all.
If this alienated you, I apologize. I am still not sure what I did wrong, but I don't want to offend anyone.
Can we PLEASE end it on this good note?

Who is he alienating and I mean this question with respect to all parties.
 
With TradeStation you can make artificial 3 day bars through coding but otherwise the platform itself does not allow for bars greater than a day equaling 1440 minutes (besides the usual weekly/monthly).

Don't know about Multi-Charts.

So far, Think Or Swim is the only charting software that has 3 Day Bars.
Most platforms have 4hr, Daily, Weekly etc. I'm looking for 3 Day Bars.

Anyone know of a platform that has this besides Think or Swim?

TradeStation, and I suspect other platforms, allows any number of minutes for bars (1, 30, 60, 479, anything). Three days is 1170 minutes, so set it for that, and you have 3-day bars.

As I said just before your post TradeStation does not. It limits minute charts to 1440 max or 1 complete 24 hour time cycle.
 
PRICE IS THE SAME ON ALL CHARTS!

The only real chart is the 1-tick chart. All of the other charts are data compression.

There are no magic chart periods.

Draw a horizontal line on any chart. Either price stays/goes above the line or it stays/goes below the line.

TRADING IS SIMPLE.

Why complicate it?
 
I know Gann used 3 day charts (for stocks I believe) - in addition to other time frames.
His trading was pre-automation.

I think his rational was that it was 1/2 a week (there were 6 TD for commodities then - I believe).

Yes you can used your IB data feed for NT charting - which is what I do. The free version will do this. (If you want to enter your trades directly from NT you need the paid version but if you are plotting 3 day you don't need that).

TRO if one trades on a 1 tick chart I suppose.

If one trades on a daily basis why would a 1 tick chart be applicable?
