Impossible, excepted with realtime intraday data under some circumstances
(when the data window length changes from one day to an other ==> 20 days back
will encompass 20 days. Closing in the evening and reopening in the morning
will produce 20 days back, but not the same 20 days).
This effect is sensible with with recursive calculaton (like exp. average)

You may code your own pager alert in EL instead of using the default setting.
Then you may control when you send your stop orders to the pager.

Instead of printing directly, you may save the report to a file,then print it
from any word processor.

Minor point...
A 12 font do not show the problem on my TS4 build 21.

There are dates and time information!

You may rely on the detailed performance summary in this case.

Have you considered the sychronism problems when wanting to do this ?

Because you will need TS5.

They do not, unless you upgrade or pay with instalment plan.
The definitive password is given after 3 months.

To save the rainforest.
TS5 will allow this.

Why Pentium II 450 Mhz only run at 450 Mhz clock speed , mmmh ?
There are limitations in anything.
TS5 removes the 13000 bars limit.

Good idea. Was enough for today.
This very same message has been seen on ths list months ago
Sill amazing that this list is mainly self devoted to verbose and unsatisfied
customers.
Either you may make money wit TS (unmatched for the moment) , then you should
be "globallly" satisfied, or you don't and you spend your time to split hairs
and bother innocent people here
This is a simple point of view, but I'm sure that I'm close to reality.
Sincerely,
Pierre Orphelin
