Re: Multi-data system problem

["Jerry Baker" <jlbaker@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I do not know about SC, but TS will not permit the use of indicators and or
systems on a multi-data chart in "real-time".  I spent six months
developing a killer system on a 2/4/8 min multi-data chart but when I went
to trade it found out that TS locks the indicators at the 2 min increments
on the 4 and 8 (or another) time frames and you have to "refresh" every bar
to keep it accurate which takes your system away from you for several
seconds (as much as 15 or more depending on the number of indicators and
bars back) and you can loose ticks during the period as well.  I growled at
TS for 2-3 months before giving up and finding a way to achieve similar
results on a single time frame chart.
