Sorry to hear you could not get this working

Here is the settings I am using on Multicharts. No amendments to the code
have been made.

On the YM H9 5 minute chart. I am using a level of 400 compress.
All the other settings I have not changed. The len input is 30.
What may be the key is that the session time set for the YM has been set
to 9.30 AM to 4 PM. This was set in quote manager for Multicharts.

On selecting the study I got an out of bounds error with a number.
I found that if I increased the compression setting the quoted number went
down on the errror until it disappeared. Then I saw basically an area of yellow
on the chart and then messed around with the horizontal scaling until this
became clearer.

I tried looking at the code, but what is actually happening is beyond me
I think the proper session perhaps should be 9.30 to 4.15 but the figures obtained compare very well with other sources. One thing I did not input anything in the sessstarttime field.

Perhaps someone who understands more about the coding of this may have some ideas.

Incidentially does work on the Nasdaq and ES as well.

Best of Luck!

You could also try using a 30 minute chart and reducing the number of bars back loaded on the chart settings, I have not used it for a long time but I think that did the trick for me.
