Apologies if this has been covered somewhere.
With long time frames hours/day, and needing intrabar updates by disk
output, with "update every tick", according to the EL manual and
observation, each tick is treated as if it was the end of bar and no prior
ticks intrabar are seen, so any counters or fields set within the prior
intrabar tick cycle are reset to clear/initial values.
Now, using time minutes as the only changing value that I know to use for
output suppression, I am down to limiting output to 1 minute when I want it,
off and on. The trouble is, on stocks or DOW, this tick rate in the 1
minute still generates a lot of output within that minute.
I know about barstatus, and that works in indicators, not just showme's.
Doesn't help.
Yes, we could simulate longer time frames almost by some weird
adjustments, maybe, but that is not preferred and not as accurate.
So, any ideas? I was wondering if arrays were exceptions to the "not
keeping intrabar tick cycle tests"? Is there a way to do a basic input of
an external file without doing DLL's ?
It is a little hard to believe they did not include a simple READ FILE for
such things as storing and rereading intra bar status parameters since they
dont keep them.
I think using a function or field would work the same way as other
fields? Calls intrabar to a function should recalc but prior values on the
next tick probably still are not available other than the prior bar's.
Thanks in advance for any help. I am 2 months behind reading digests so
maybe copy me direct to this backup hotmail address userL23.
Thanks!
