1. User defined symbols are defined in user defined symbol manager in NeoTicker. It manages these symbols outside of a chart. You don't have to define all 200 symbols in a single chart. So you can create 5-second, 1-minute, etc bars for holly_grail in any charts. 2. It can plot along ES tick chart, as long as the x-axis is time-driven (i.e. non-uniform bar space between the ES tick bars). To mix user defined symbols with ES, and if you need something faster than 1-minute, you can use second charts (e.g. 5-second, 30-second bars) instead of tick charts. Louis
You can do the same task with Esig/IB/Dynaorder, just 3 programs to crash instead of the 5 you need with Tradestation 2000, and it would be 6 if you needed global variables.
