Re: combining daily bars with intra-daily bars

Martin,

One way to do this is to create another chart using intra-day data with the
bar duration set to produce one bar per day.  For the bonds or currencies,
this would be 400 minute bars.

To this chart add the same indicators you use on your daily charts.  If you
set this chart to update with every tick, it will show how your indicators
change during the day.

If you use this approach with a system, you may want to turn off the "Update
with every tick" untill your decision time of 20 minutes before the close.

I hope this helps.
