Hi,

I hope I explained this properly. I put a bit of a picture below.

I use to use TradeStation 4.0 end of day and I have a question about the online version available at www.tradestation.com. Can it plot a text representation of the bollinger bands which would be on the 5 minute bars Lets say "U05, M05, L05" for each of "Upper 05, Middle 05 and Lower 05" bands.
out about 5 minute before the current price on the 1 minute bar chart.
Can I repeat these plots for the 10 minute bar bands, 15 minute bar bands, 30 minute bars bands, 60 minute bar bands, daily bar bands. So here I would have a total of 3 plots each times 6 bar sizes for a total of 18 text plots. All in the format U## M## L##. Daily bars could be Udaily, Mdaily, Ldaily I suppose. Each set of 3 plots would have a colomn allocation so they would not run into each other. I actually do this now with Qcharts manually by simply putting out those text short forms I show above and I move them systematically. I don't do this constantly for all 18 since that would be impossible. I do it for the ones which are currently relevant as bounce points and barriers regarding targeting.
However it is a lot work as you might imagine.

It course I could have TradeStation do a "file append" and maybe gather the info in a shorted graphed format in MS access or Excell maybe. However it is handy having these band positions on the 1 minute bar chart right out in front of price.

Thanks John.
