Close data only eliminates a vast majority of the indicators, I use. The
lack of time values would throw you for a loop. At 96 data points per day
with 5 min data, you would quickly get to year 2000. As you say "it is not
worth it. It is more of a novelty." But since the program seems to react to
dates like what to load, what to display, I can't picture what you would
get. I don't need it.
But the answer to our friend downunder remains, no it is a end of day
program not real time.
