I just tried it, and Jim is right. It doesn't work - it plots as Jim describes (the
current 60-min bar directly under the most recent 1-min bar). My mistake.
I do remember seeing this effect, and I'm wondering now what were its circumstances.
What I recall is that it was some time ago, and my best guess is that it was with TS
ver 3.5, which expired upon 2000.
Well, I guess I have now made my one mistake for this millennium. Damn, I've used up
my quota; perfection hereafter!
