It should work on any market. I ran into that error the first time I ran it
and can only remember looking at max bars and also the number of days in the
chart window. For one tick bars I set the # of days to 2, the minimum for
TS. Also I made the EveryMins and MinsBack inputs to be the same. Don't
think I changed anything else other than the Time1 and Time2 to match my
data. You might try changing the Make Date1(0) input so it only plots on
the current day, i.e. Date(1). Date(0) will plot for all days.
