Hey guys, Is there a way to customize the candlestick periods? TWS lets you chose only daily,weekly,monthly. Is there a way to have 3M,1Year Periods?
Can do it in TradingView. Have to sort of roll yer own period. As you can see I pulled down the menu for candle length and at the bottom you can create a custom one. See where it says 1 then minutes then add? Change 1 to 12, minutes to years and click add. Then look under 1 month. The 12 month appeared after I clicked on add and you can see in the chart that SQQQ is now displayed in 1 year candles. I have a paid subscrip to the site but you can sign up for a free account and maybe you can do that, maybe not. Give it a try! Honestly I really like TradingView. Very cool charter and scanner. I wish TV and IB would get their act together so I could trade my IB account through TV like I do my Alpaca account.
Thanks a lot!! Yes I see it but its only available for paid subscribers! Yea me too tradingview is the best charting software. OR maybe if IB can fix their TWS software or improve it -_-
%% Yes; for candlecharts, monthly +[ yearly=1 fat candle for12 months]. most data providers of mine dont allow a candle of 12 months]YAHOO does have 12 month candles but their data has many goofs.] barchart.com has good longer term charts...……………………………………………………..
for candlecharts, monthly +[ yearly=1 fat candle for12 months] What do you mean by that? There is no 12months candle for TWS? Yes Yahoo charts are bad and barchart doesnt have early as well
Been years since I used TWS so I forgot but does it allow for ASCII files to be plotted. If so, push out that data. Rejigger it to time frame you want. Re-import it.
google says: An ASCII File is a file that contains unformatted ASCII text: only characters, numbers, punctuation, tabs, and carriage return characters. You can create and edit an ASCII file using Microsoft Notepad. If you save it with the txt extension .
