Yes seemed to get SPX working in real time which is awesome. Having some issues with the Market Internals specially the VOLD seems to freeze when I have it on additional symbol on the chart. Let me see how I get on will let you know if I need help but I should be OK. Can I ask are Number Bars applicable to SPX? I used it then for Futures before wondering if they can be used for equities also

Tell us the exact symbol you are referring to. SPX itself is not a valid symbol.

But certainly you can use the Numbers Bars study for stocks.

No it makes no sense to use Numbers Bars with a cash index symbol like that.

Thanks for the answer does it make sense to use Volume on Price with $SPX I know it sounds like a simple question but I was wondering if volume is available for this instrument and that Volume on Price is accurate because obviously there is no depth with $SPX

We do not see how using the Volume by Price study on $SPX would be reliable.

Sorry can I just confirm you do not see how it’s reliable? Or why it would not be reliable?

If indeed you do not feel it’s reliable can you expand on the why?

Not being difficult I just want to make sure before I add another data feed

Therre is no volume for $SPX so there isn't anything for number bars to calculate...
