Hello,

You can, if you control it from the code

TimeFrameMode( 3 );

TimeFrameSet( 30 * TickSize );

Plot( C, "Price", colorBlack, styleCandle );

This however gives time-compressed chart with base interval unchanged.

In the future I may consider adding per-symbol setting for "preferred" range bar or something along these lines.

Hi, Tomasz,

Is it possible to have option to set the range bar by ticks? As if we change the symbols from one to another, the Range Bar will display erratically.

Thank you.

Clement

Hello,

At the moment minimum supported range of the bar is 0.01
To define such range, go to Tools->Preferences, "Intraday" tab
and enter 0.01 in one of the "Custom ntick/nvolume/range chart settings"
and select "R- $ range" from the combo next to it.
Then press OK.

Now View->Intraday->0.01 R menu will allow you to select this range.

If you need ranges smaller than 0.01 you would need to wait until
I change somehow the internal representation of ranges since they
currently have limit of from 0.01 to 9999.99
