For Ensign users, here is the template file for my "tick" chart. I have never posted a template alone, so if anyone has problems please let me know and I'll try and help sort it out. The .zip has two files, I'm not sure if you'll need the .dat file, but these are the two files I found in my template folder for the chart.

Using Quotetracker I am having trouble changing the "range" of the tic bar to .25 as has been recommended. When this is attempted the range keeps reverting to simply "2" instead of ".25" any suggestions?

Hey all Qchart users, I posted a new thread on the Esignal/qchart forum. It was regarding their tick charts not having the color option. If you want to help twist their arm for a patch please post there.

Thx - EZ

Set up for QT range charts.

Open a chart of the ES right click in the chart and begin by clicking Chart Type then choose Range OHLC

Next right click in the chart again and click on bar range then choose custom and use .25

Additionally you can use the time tick feature to depict five minute intervals so you can see the entire formation of each bar at the tick level. To set this up go to Select Indicators in the drop down menu and in the top section find Time Tick then edit it to show 5 min intervals

Once you have it all set up save it as a chart template, or save your whole workspace.

I obtained this quote from the end of the first journal. I'm halfway completing the second journal at this time. What I'm having difficulty with is setting up the Medved Quotetracker the free version I have with IB as a data provider.

I think it can accomodate dry up volume. But I hvae the following problems:

1. 30 minute time frame how do I set ths?
2. I have volume under the candlestick but have no idea on how to set the Stochastics as there are 4 fields to complete in the StochasticsMomentum indicator.
3. Is there a way to set an alert for price higher than previous day, MACD histogram positive and stochastics above 80 with either qcharts or medved? Reason being is that I plan on using this alert while working so that once I receive it I will call in the trade.


"Using Medved Quotetracker, Qcharts or similar charting software create a watchlist or portfolio of the stocks in Dry Up for that day and set alerts for low band volume for each symbol. Set the chart to monitor on a 30 minute time frame. Add the following under the candlestick price chart: Volume, MACD Histogram (5,13,6), and Stochastics (14,1,3).

You have a signal to go long, once volume exceeds the low band threshold for an equity, price is higher than previous day, MACD Histogram is positive and Stochastics (%K) is above 80."

Just noticed yesterday that my volume for Qcharts is waaaaaaaaaaaay off. I guess it's a server issue.

What's the best server for west coasterz?
