[User Discussion] - Hiding price bars

Hi,

I have a 15s chart in which I would like to only print the last 3 minutes of trading. I would like to hide all the older bars.

I am trying to create a "fresh" view of the price action, highlighting the most recent action while de-emphasizing the older action.

I've looked through the studies and your documentation, but I am not sure how to accomplish the above.

Any guidance would be much appreciated.

Best,

Michael

Try

Menu >> Analysis >> Study ....

Add study: Color Bar Based on Alert Condition
Color Bar Based on Alert Condition


In this study (in its settings):
- Select the Subgraphs tab, Set the Color of the Color Bar Subgraph to be the same as the your chart background color
- Select the alerts tab, Set a Simple Alert Condition formula =c[12]>0

don't forget to confirm "Apply"

I'd like to do this as well for my Market Depth Historical Graph as I have set the value of "Determine Min and Max Levels From" to "Visible Bars" I'd like to discard part of the graph where there was a big order which is no longer present but still messes up the background coloring.

Here is an example of the same chart:

There is not a way to do what is discussed above for the Market Depth Historical Graph. Rather you would want to use the Highest Quantity for Coloring to define the highest value in order to remove outliers such as you are seeing. Refer to the following and the Input above it:
