In ts 2k you can simply apply the 'price distribution'
activitybar and when formating it (under properties, i
think) choose 1 tick for the data compression.
This kind of stuff if for what activitybars are ment
to be used...
and Carrol, that 'kludge' is the only thing that can
allow indicators that are updating real time to match
historical results. As far as i am concerned it works
fine and it is very consistent with the rest of the
program's behaviour... what it seems like you want is
the never-implemented mutliple data charts with tick
bars... something that should have been out a long
time ago.
