[amibroker] Re: RT chart not updating !!!



PureBytes Links

Trading Reference Links

And all along I thought it was me! 

Each day I load maybe 50 symbols into a new watchlist. I would like 
to use RT but now use 1 minute charts. One of my conditions I look 
for is for volume > Daily ma(V,75) . I tried one minute database. I 
tried force back fill, using mixed data base. In Explore I discovered 
the daily ma volume was coming up empty. I wrote this up
TimeFrameSet(inDaily);
EMAV65 = EMA(V,65);
EMAV45 = EMA(V,45);
EMAV35 = EMA(V,35);
TimeFrameRestore();
DailyEMAV65 =  TimeFrameExpand(EMAV65,inDaily,expandFirst);
DailyEMAV35 =  TimeFrameExpand(EMAV35,inDaily,expandFirst);
DailyEMAV45 =  TimeFrameExpand(EMAV45,inDaily,expandFirst);
Filter = 1;
AddColumn(DailyEMAV65,"EMAV65");
AddColumn(DailyEMAV45,"EMAV45");
AddColumn(DailyEMAV35,"EMAV35");

Just to see what was going wrong. That was when I found the volume 
problem. Years ago I used QCharts. That was when I first discovered 
the problem. I contacted support and TJ couldn't replicate the 
problem. To "fix" my problem I purchased QCollector. I now use IQ. 
Had the same issue. Bought QCollector for IQ. Problem resolved again.

John
