Jimmy,
Yes, Linders said in the PushPop docs he's in Orlando, a part of the
world I think
most of us would consider, except for the moment :)
I think I may have also found a second was to incorporate at least three
tick charts
without using a DLL, it only works for back testing as it requires
off-line file manipulation.
If you used the TS ASCIII data format aka
http://www.tradestationworld.com/TradeStation2000i/search_results_full.asp?DocumentID=92
You could use fields "open" and "Open Interest" to carry a second and
third tick chart.
I.E. you could have a header such as
"Other","Date","O","C","V","OI"
With an ASCII data structure like this:
[test-name],[date],[close of tick data set 2],[close of tick data set
1],[volume of tick data 1 - optional],[close of tick data set 3]
You couldn't use high & low as you may get data integrity issues such as
open/close higher or lower than high/low,
but I don't believe TS looks for any relationship between open, close,
volume & Open Interest. Bid/Ask would be
the ideal fields to feed in additional tick data, but I don't believe
these fields can be fed in via ASCII, I'll do some tests.

Did you mean Florida weather being nice to Linders? I'm in Texas.
Florida is too flat for me.
Yep a Tradestation limitation, but there seems to be a way around
NEARLY anything in Tradestation.

Nope can't have but one data stream in a tick chart or volume chart.
Not sure what you mean about addressing more than one chart from
within EL. An indicator or system will only access one tick chart
unless you have pushpop or something like it feeding it info from
another chart. Minute and up type of charts you can do all of it but
not tick or volume.
