Hi AF, I wouldn't go that far and say it's a "nightmare". I have implemented it for rather complext calculations and it works just fine. :-)
Sure, if seperate charts for each time frame works for you- that's of course the easiest way. But please remember, different users- different needs. But in my case, I don't only want to save chart space for other info, but I also have a scanner running in the background searching stocks suitable for trading and which ones have my buy/sell signals. Then I need all 3 TFs in one code with high resolution data- not in 3 charts. Then finally it's very much worth the effort- at least in my case. I can promise you that. I have never had such a good results as I have with this solution. :-) Regards, Jorgen --- In [email protected], "af_1000000" <af_1000...@...> wrote: > > Hi Jorgen, > > Thanks for the example.
