just use a multi data chart with only the one minute chart showing then write your code to call from daily down to two minute, you can make it as simple or complicated as you wish. mb

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.
