You change the timeframes of the chart by clicking on the Periodicity function,you need MS Pro because the other version only reads EOD Data.
thanks a lot.stupid of me.i am using MetaStock for a week and obviously my learning curve is not too steep thanks again.
Like Stock Operator said... Asking that question, I presumed you already had MS 5 min data. To do that you would already have MS Pro or be able to copy a data file. You'd still need MS Pro to run it. If you've got MS Pro and can get 5 min data in another format... The Downloader module of MS Pro can convert several formats to be used in MS Pro. Then, you can compress intraday data to anything you want.
