Post From: How do Numbers Bars work with Barchart data?

I want to monitor and trade the S&P500 emini – the ES and use Numbers Bars charts in the process.

The SC documentation http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?l=doc/doc_NumbersBars.php#ServicesThatSupportBVandAV does not list the Barchart data service as providing historical Bid Volume and Ask Volume. Is this list up to date?

Does this mean that I can get Barchart daily intraday Bid Volume and Ask Volume data to accurately power the Numbers Bars study but I cannot download historical data to look backwards in time?

Am I correct that without the Barchart ability to download historical Bid Volume and Ask Volume that I can only look back for the number of days I actually monitored the market and in effect “recorded” the live tick feed?

Thanks for your help.

Pete
