Post From: Hourly chart to start the bar on the hour

Well what TechTrader proposes does work but the last price bar does not display the price data completely. Since the stock finishes trading at 16:00 PM and each bar starts on the hour so the last bar should start at 15:00 PM but when that happens, the last price bar only displays the price information for the last 1/2 hour until 15:30 PM instead of 16:00 PM. When I set the last session to 16:00 PM, it adds an extra price bar to start at 16:00 PM and finishes at 17:00 PM and yes it affects my study signals. There is no way for Sierra Charts to match like what's in IB with the first bar starting at 9:30 AM but each price bar starts on the hour and the last price bar starts at 15:00 PM and finishes at 16:00 PM and the next day's bar starts at 9:30 PM. I think it's because Sierra Charts has each bar follows a fixed amount of time following the session start time for all instruments instead of allowing users to customize it for each specific instrument. I am going to have some choices to make regarding how I want the price bar to be processed. Thanks everyone for your help! |
