'borrow' a laptop with XP, install a fresh copy of qchart, copy your template to the laptop then try the histogram chart again. If the chart works then it's vista probl.
NKHOI and EZZY: Thank you both very much. I think that is the problem of VISTA and I shall do what you've suggested. My home computers run XP, and I am away from home.
If you calculate the offset between the YM and Indu on any bar and put it into the StrSqz, that bar is a zero. If you did this for every bar, you would have a string of zeros across the chart. That being the case, of what value is this tool? I'm not condemning or criticizing, just trying to understand the value of the tool and how to use it.
Spyder has made several detailed posts this month discussing this, and many others have posted images showing that if setup properly you do not get bars as you describe. Going back to the beginning of the month would be a good place to start your research.
The color will change if the indicator exceeds the threshold but if it closes within the threshold it will show the default color. +2 = yellow -2 = cyan within threshold = red (default)
Isnt the only thing that matters the spread at the moment you need it? I dont think the historical tracking of it is much use.
Txuk, Could you show the code paragraph you use to plot the str/sqz extremes? By the way, your PRV volume indicactor is great. I was wondering if there was a way to plot the PRV by dividing the minutes into lets say 15 sec intervals then adding them together to maintain a running total. This way might remove the huge spikes that are possible at the beginning of a new bar. Of course this would become more of a market pace than PRV. Any thoughts? -jc
YES!!!! EXACTLY! The issue is that many times, one's sweeping frequency is lagging. As a result you may miss the signal. The workaround to this is to then plot a tick chart of the premium value to catch up on the recent extremes...
