totally and completely false. once again the profpastlogic is telling tall tales. really poor form. surf
Just aggrevated at your public display of diminished common sense. Instead of contacting one of your supposed egg head buddies to verify what I'm saying you show your ignorance of logic by calling me illogical. You are back on ignore where the others of no intelligence are sent.
Is that what you tell your students, "prof"? Surf didn't drop out of college. I'm surprised that's the best fable your logic allowed you to come up with...
i've been using them with QT for a few months now (since reading this thread truth be told ) as far as i understand it, they are "capped" when you select "volume candlestick" as your chart type. in other words, a certain specified volume (it is customizable) forms one candlestick and then any overflow goes on towards the next candle. the only tricky part is day to day rollover for stocks. ie, the last candle of the day will cut off at 4pm eastern whether it is "full"or not. however, this can be worked around by making the global settings ignore RTH. and with instruments such as ES, there seems to be no problem; all candles are capped. this is my understanding of how volume bars work in QT. please let me know if i am missing something.
Correct. Cool, glad to hear QT has them now too. Of course there was no value in me inventing them in the first place according to some of the literary persuasion.
Anyone know if QCharts software package has constant volume as well as tick based charting - and does it do it correctly?
