Re: Indicator Calculation Question

I would think any program that allows you to create custom indicators would support something like this, but you would have to write it. Typically, you would look at each bar's date and could either keep track of which bar you are on in the day's action using a counter that you update or look at the bar's timestamp and compare it to a specific time. At first glance, it sounds doable. I certainly think that Ensign would handle this ($30 per month, no upfront cost). I haven't really found an indicator I can't program in Ensign yet, and I've tried. I'll cc: the Ensign developer to see if he agrees (about the feasibility).
