Greetings Bob:
Does it work on other markets besides the SP. I tried out the SP and they
show up on the chart. But with other markets, either they don't show up or
saying that "the study attempts to reference data pass the bounds of the
array". Regards
Have a good one

You might also add a one tick chart with the EveryMins and MinsBack set to
30. That will provide a 30 minute distribution of all the ticks for that
period. Infact such a chart is quite illustrative of the general concepts.
If you want to add some color and other indicators such as a moving average
try Clyde's version of the T3Average or an exponential or an adaptive type
if you have one. Attached is another example illustrating the concepts
described below. What you have here is a probability tool based on price
distribution.
If you are plotting a futures that ends at 16:15 and use 15 minute settings
then the PDH will catch the last 15 minutes. If you use any time longer
like 30 minutes then the last 15 won't be included in the PDH.
have fun today!
