Re: [amibroker] Re: DATA and INDICATOR display problem -- the 4:00 PM data point -- TOMASZ

Fred,

I use the Medved Quote Tracker plug-in. I understand what you are saying,
however the data clearly has that last bar -- I realize that the bell rings
at 4:00 PM and no trading occurs in actuality AFTER that time. There remains
the problems I stated concerning that last data bar or point that is
"labeled" 4:00 PM. I just want to get rid of it and the resulting problems.
Any suggestions?

George
