BrownFan, I use eSignal/Multicharts and my internet is a WLAN at 5.8 MHZ., about 2 meg up and down. I don't have a single problem throughout the day. I'm upgrading my internet this Spring though to a dedicated fiber optic line drectly to the house, 10 - 12 meg down and 5 meg up predicted.
Brown, I'm looking into Multichart. In your experience do they fail to provide constant volume bars ? Thank you for insight. Anek
MultiCharts and Ensign are the only 2 charting providers that accurately have them and of the two MultiCharts is more for the professional trader. I you are a Swing or Position trader Ensign is definately the wrong one.
Sierra has Volume Bars but does not have the ability to cap them. The last time I checked they were working on it though. It isn't a hard programming fix just at what level of a priority it is for them.
I released a dll that lets Sierra Chart users have fixed cap volume bars (it prorates "overvolume" to further bars). The SC guys plan to release and internal version soon. I am curious about your language ... you say cap ... do you mean that "if more volume arrives (or a single tick has more volume than a bar) then they ignore that volume as opposed to prorating it to future bars? If that's their approach then my dll users will see a different result. Can you clarify so that I can give them an option to have the "same" volume bars?
