Intraday bar size

View Count: 1700

Hi,

I am trying to get a 5 hour (300 min) chart using intraday data. I have selected "start time" as 7:00 and "end time" 14:00, but when the bars output to my chart, it gives me one bar with 5 hours (7:00-12:00) but for the bar that starts at 12:00, it stops at 14:00.

Is there a way to show 300 minutes per bar, instead of it restarting a new bar every day? I have uncheck "new bar at session start". I have attached a screenshot of my chart settings.

Thanks

Based upon the configuration you describe, the result you are getting is correct. A 5 hour bar is not going to skip time. It will be 5 continuous hours from its start time.

Hi,

I don't think I was very clear so I will try to be more clear.

1.I set bar period to 300 minutes.

2.I set the start time as 7:00 and end time as 13:59:59.

3.I uncheck "new bar at session start"

For the first bar of data, I expect 7:00 - 11:59:59, which is what I get.

For the second bar, I would like 12:00 - 9:59:59 (next day). Instead, the next bar is always 12:00 - 13:59:59, with the subsequent bar starting at 7:00. This means that it generates two bars per day, with the first bar starting at 7:00 with 300 minutes of data but the second bar only has 120 minutes of data. I can see this happening if "new bar at session start" was checked, but I have unchecked it. Please try this and let me know if I am doing something wrong. Also, let me know if you would like any specific screenshots.

I am running version 949 and using DTN IQFeed for data.

Thanks

We understood the first time. The bars do not work like this. This is just simply not possible or supported or planned to be supported.
