Essan:
At present it is not possible with V 6.5 to have a running weekly chart,
that is the O H L C for the past 5 days (4 if there's a holiday). Equis also
has no plans to implement such a feature. It could be possible to implement
this by exporting the data to a spread sheet and using the capabilities of
the spread sheet.
I think the main problem with Equis is that they have a basically
obsolescent program that they keep patching. They are unable or unwilling
to do a completely new program with the features that we are asking for.
V6.5 eod is not Y2000 compliant and Equis has not given a date for an
upgrade.
