Hi all/prs
What I would do is export the data into excel , then make a macro to change
the dates to monday to friday , for example...
Friday data changed to Friday data
Saturday data changed to Monday data
Sunday data changed to Tuesday data
Monday data changed to Monday data
Tuesday data changed to Tuesday data
Then when it charts youd get 5 days per week then 2 per week
then 5 days per week and then 2 days per week. Then you could visually see
the differences and code stuff like ummmmmmm
if last wednesday and thurs and friday close is 'null' then this bar is a
saturday [this is not easy code incase somebody was thinkin of coding this
as is]... that is if you need to know what day is really a monday or a
saturday etc.
You would have no correlation to real dates but the system would be
'Historically Testable' [or maybe in volume part of the ascci file you could
put the date in there somehow as a easylanguage julian date number ....or
have volume as 1 for monday , 2 for tuesday , 6 for saturday ,7 for sunday
etc]
Can anyone see why this wouldnt work?
Cheers
Cameron

Yes, TS 8 allows you to set up custom sessions where you can include the
weekend. It doesn't work on
ascii data as you point out and it also only works on intra-day data so you
have to set up something like
a 405 minute bar for the S&P's to get this display feature to work.
The big problem is it only displays the weekend periods. I need to be able
to use the data on saturday
and sunday in strategies and indicators. For example: on monday I want
C[1] to refer to the sunday
bar, not friday. So this is why I went back to 2000i.
