Code:var: V_today(0), VPMO(0); V_today = ticks * ( close - close[1] ); VPMO = avglist( V_today, V_today[1], V_today[2] ); if VPMO > VPMO [1] then SetPlotColor(1, blue) else SetPlotColor(1, red); Plot1(VPMO, "VPMO"); plot2(0, "Zero");
note: I am using a simple average instead of an exponential average.

I just signed up for the multi-charts 30day trial.
I am using IB for real time data feed.
I have managed to get a chart of the ESM8 up, but I can't get a back-fill on historical data.
Does anyone out there know how I cen get historical data on a 1 minute bar basis to fill in?
only a little frustrated![]()
Quote from Tums:
note edit:
To get backfill data, go to File --> Preference, Data Server Mode --> check the box for "Download missing historical data".
Look at the top of the chart, after the symbol, it should say "Backfilling...".
IB is a bit slow on backfills. Don't get upset on MC.
tips: on setting up the chart, don't request too many Days Back on first try. Start with 5 days, that's plenty for a 1m chart.
