Thanks Lesmond.
If I understand you right, the only way to have different timeframes on the
same ticker is to change them on the fly. If so, this is a real limitation
of AB. I have two systems that trade the ES -- one needs to have the night
data and the other does not use the night data. As far as I can tell there
is no way to trade both of them at the same time.
I keep thinking there should be an easy way to tell a program to ignore the
out of RTH hours data. I wonder what would happen if I put the entire AFL
code into
if (timenum() > X and Timenum() < Y)
{...}
