Hello Guno,
  Previously I did the same thing by hand, ie using drawing tool.
However - This was hard to manage for some rather unapparent reasons -
which I'll not go into right now.

  I may be able to point you in the right direction however. (Turn Right)
This path is for EOD. For RT just add times I guess.

1st up - You want to get that data into Amibroker.
Mabie reformat the datafiles ready to dump to Amibroker.
*  Use V to store value 1/2, 3/4 etc. Depending on Buy/Sell stage.
*  Add the extention -TH to each ticker to Identify it later.

  Set it up like this:

> 2004-08-24,13:20:23,2004-08-24,13:38:20,BSX,35.82,35.85

Ticker Date      O     H     L     C   V
BSX-TH 2004-08-21 35.80 35.80 35.80 35.80 1
BSX-TH 2004-08-21 35.83 35.83 35.83 35.83 2
BSX-TH 2004-08-24 35.82 35.82 35.82 35.82 3
BSX-TH 2004-08-24 35.85 35.85 35.85 35.85 4


Once you have this data in Amibroker, You can then write an indicator
that will:
Take the current ticker name and use Foriegn(Ticker-TH).
--> Now we have Current Ticker and Ticker contianing Trade data.
Then do a for loop in the indicator, Drawing all 1-2, 3-4 data as
linearrays. (Possibly a bit of tricky AFL coding here)

So when you select your stock - All imported data is displayed as trades
in the form of LineArrays.

Im 99% sure this would be doable.
  (I have done similar showing Dividend dates)

   Michael.

(There is always a better way)
