Jimmy,
What would be nice would to be able to set up the size of the first bar
manually in 2000i. That way you can control at what time during the hour the
rest of the bars start on. For instance I would like to test my 45 minute
bar system with entries at 5 minutes before and after the normal bar time.
My bars are now set up like this;
8:30CT - 9:15CT
9:15CT - 10:00CT
If I could make the first bar 40 minutes long then the rest of the 45 min
bars would start at 9:55CT and so on until the end of the day when there
would be a short bar.
Natural hour bars are just not very flexible since it just makes the first
bar start on the half hour or hour. Your bar size also has to be divisable
into 60 or it doesn't work.
