You should be able to insert the attached file (vc.eld) into Tradestation.

In order to convert an indicator to a showme in TS you would usually copy and paste the original (eg. the VC above) code into a new showme code. Then replace the plot statements as followed
1. comment out the OHLC plots 1-4; you don't need them.
2. Replace plot5 and plot6 with the appropriate values.

Basically what you are doing is adjusting the plotting to the same scale as the underlying instrument.

{ If BarNumber > Numbars then Begin Plot1(VOpen,"VOpen"); Plot2(VHigh,"VHigh"); Plot3(VLow,"VLow"); Plot4(VClose,"VClose"); End; } If VHigh > Highest(VHigh,TwentyNumBars)[1] Then Begin Plot5( H + MinMove / PriceScale , {VHigh} "21BarVHigh"); Alert; end else NoPlot (5); IF VLow < Lowest(VLow,TwentyNumBars)[1] Then Begin Plot6( L - MinMove / PriceScale, {VLow} "21BarVLow"); Alert; end else NoPlot (6);

This set-up work 9 out of 10 time for reversal or end of the trend on 2 minuets chart with VC setting is (+7 and -7) with extreme volume

Hi Guys. I have the code for the value chart indicator in TS but can not get it to plot as candlesticks, only bars, line, points etc. Is there any reason for this, that I a humble non-programmer doesn't realise?

many thanks

That's the way TS is setup for an indicator. No candlesticks, just bars, line, points, etc.
