I'm having trouble getting my session times setup.
I've entered the session 3 times now for 9:30am-4:00pm yet it plots data till 5pm for some reason. WTF? Suggestions?

This is more an opinion question, what longer term macd setting might you guys use to smooth out a 5 minute charts macd? I've tinkered some and haven't found a good setting yet to show an accurate trend to follow.

I'm sure I'll have a few more to add in a bit.

Thanks

For the YM:
MACD set at 19-39-9 doesn't have a lot of whip-saw. Try it on a constant volume bar chart (500 shares has about the same play as a 5 min chart).

Thanks, I'll give those settings a try.

In the format symbol first window, there is a drop down menu which you can set to exchange time or local time. Try that.

Despite living in the eastern zone when I set it to exchange time it fixed the issue.

I can't tell you how much time I wasted on this crap.

Thanks a ton!!! Now I have a legit gap chart.
