Volume Based Charts Request for HELP

	Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.... when dealing with $$$ (especially if you're paying for the privilege of using their platform) you'd like some sort of accuracy, wouldn't you?

Thank you Cooter, my sentiments exactly. I am not paying for somewhat accurate charting when most others out there do exactly what I need and want.

Guess I'm not worried about little stuff like that. What's more troubling with TS is from time to time (like most of this morning) their time and sales (dom) bid/ask data lags the market. The last trade price is correct but many times today have seen last trade blatantly through a bid/ask so right now I don't trust their bid/ask data. Now that bothers me.

I guess it depends on your view, but a 36% increase over my threshold setting is not 'little stuff'.

Little stuff, like accurate charting, I suppose. So what exactly are you using TS for, may I ask?

You could take a look at Amibroker AmiBroker - Technical Analysis Software. Charting, Backtesting, Scanning of stocks, futures, mutual funds, forex (currencies). Alerts. Free quotes.
It supports volume based charts. They have an evaluation copy you
can download.

I've only played around with the feature briefly but it looks ok.

Well nothing like shooting down a trading day b/c of software issues...

So far it looks like MultiCharts and ESignal are going to be good options for what I need - Constant Volume Based Charts (CVBC's). :rolleyes:

MultiCharts link - http://www.tssupport.com/products/multicharts/
With Multi, you need to add a data feed as well. Here's the list of supported data vendors - http://www.tssupport.com/products/mu...atamanagement/ (scroll to the bottom). Depending on where you trade, you may be able to plug data into Multi from your broker and not pay the data fee.

ESignal link - http://www.esignal.com/ Depending on what data feeds you need will dictate the cost here.

You might want to consider adding Ensign to the mix for this:

Here's a couple of links for you to review:

January 2004 Trading Tips Newsletter
May 2004 Trading Tips Newsletter

They have both Constant Volume Bars, and Constant Range Bars (aka Momentum Bars) available.
