Hello, Yes it would be nice to be able to set range size in multiples of ticksize in the dropdown on the settings page.
Quotetracker method seems ok to me as far as ease of use for setting range size. Hopefully some day we will be able to use range bars with the bar replay feature. One drawback for me is the small amount of backfill available from IB for a tick based database. I can only get a couple of hours worth and that means I would have to stay connected to IB almost all day long.I guess that's a limitation of IB although QT "seems" to be able to deliver a lot more backfill data. It's nice to see range bars have come to Amibroker. I look forward to all the enhancements that are developed in each beta. Great work Tomasz. Best regards, Greg --- In [email protected], "J.
