Thanks, I forgot about that.
what kind of pivots does that code make?
I don't know about volume on the forex market. I really didn't think it was available anywhere, but MBT has it, then TOS should. Their data provider probably just doesn't give them volume for forex.
RE charts: I use the indicator called "Woodie's CCI." It is as close as I could get to what I want. It is a 14 CCI histogram with a 6 CCI overlaid on it. I know that is not the same as the signal line . . . but I really use the 6 CCI on the 30 min chart, which is my basic chart.
Maybe the best way to go with TOS is through QT. Harrison told me they are trying to incorporate as many QT features as possible into TOS charts, so why not e-mail QT support and beg the QT guys to help. I think I might do that. I'll have to start working on a wish list. Different kinds of pivots; signal lines on indicators; a histogram option for indicators like the CCI; what else beside paintbars generally?
What would solve the problem with the CCI and the lack of a signal line is if TOS charts generally would let people overlay an indicator over another indicator. (I think the signal line is just a simple moving average of the CCI. I tried it on stockcharts.com and the 6 SMA on a 14 CCI seemed to match the 6 signal line on my QT charts.) I'm sure alot of people would like that feature.

Even a small move up will break that TL. There is already a TLB on the 30 min CO. Will see tomorrow on the open.
How nice to be short today. I have a TL on the 30 min CCI that I will wait to break; until it does, we stay short.

Thanks cyn. I'm trying a basic sub to stockcharts.com as well. It's uselful for all their breadth-based indicators as well, so that might be a good compliment. In a real pinch, there's freestockcharts.com, but I noticed that their CCI is off, so that concerns me.
gloe
yes, some tickers are worse than others. QQQ and SPY are bad; IWM less so.
I saw some of your posts using MBT. I have pretty much decided to do the best I can with TOS charts once QT is no longer, but of course using QT as long as it is available.
I find that CCI patterns on TOS and QT are the same, so I'm not worried about it.

I don't usually watch the 15 min. I had CCI HFEs on the 30 min though.
Nobody does histograms like QT. On TOS, there is already an indicator called "woodie CCI" or some such, and that is plotted as a histogram, but it isn't as crip as QTs because the color doesn't fill in the entire space. I also had to modify it by taking off all the CZI and SW junk: I changed all the colors so that my 100 lines are marked by blue and my 200 lines by gold, as I have been doing on QT forever . . .
TOS just made it possible to change the size of the indicator panels, so that is an improvement that Harrison said was coming.
There ARE some things I like about TOS charts; but how anyone can say they are "better" than QT is beyond me. It seems so complicated to code stuff that was so simple to do with QT.

I hate to do it, especially with a Fed meeting today, and the 30 min CO is strong, but I have a TLB on the "60 min." Just a note: what I am using for the 60 min TLBs is actually a 5 min NERS chart.

FIVE. When you say, 'I'm sorry,' look the person in the eye.
SIX. Be engaged at least six months before you get married.
SEVEN. Believe in love at first sight.

NINE Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt but it's the only way to live life completely.
TEN In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling.
ELEVEN Don't judge people by their relatives.

I'm not that interested in woodie patterns except for VT's and ghosts. In TOS there is already an indicator that has a CCI as a histogram (but it looks nothing like the clear, crip histos that QT makes) alreay set to 14 which woodie uses, has the "turbo" already there (6 CCI) and has sutff on it for his chop zone indicator and sidewinder. I modified it to take all the chop zone and sidewinder stuff off. But since I realy don't like the way the histogram is drawn, I may end up using a CCI line instead. I guess I will just have to get used to the way it looks.

No other trading vehicles? Futures on DAX, GBL (bonds), then there's something like the ESX50 index (not as rich as the DAX).

How do Ninja charts programming painbars compare to QT? Just as easy?
