Dear Alexander TF,
You write a Paintbar study as follows:
IF Date[1] < Date THEN BEGIN
Plot[1](H[1],"FirstTick");
Plot2[1](L[1],"FirstTick");
END;
Then run it. The last bar of the day will be the Paintbar (which will not show
until data is received and charted for any following day).
Sincerely,
Richard
