Just a stupid question. Can you tell me how you exported a bar type (instead of an indicato) so that we can friendly import it ?
The custom bar types I cross usually need to drag and drop the file inside the Type folder then need to be compiled.
Nope, I implemented what is in Tradestation per the link I posted previously. It uses real data and looks at the true range of the bar, and closes the bar as soon as the range is met or exceeded.
There is one nuance for my version, and that is what happens at the beginning of a new session. I start a new bar at the beginning of a session, and do not use the last bar from the previous session to determine the true range of the first bar. Some people do not like this, but it is how NT does it, and it ensures that you always have the same bars regardless of the start date of the data that is loaded. I wont be changing that aspect, but it is easy to change if someone wants to change it.
Feel free to send me a copy of her book, and I would be happy to implement Universal bars as well.
Sorry, I don't even have 6.5 loaded anymore, but the code is fairly straight forward (does not use anything special from NT7) if someone wants to try to port it back. To my knowledge, only some of the secondary routines are different. The real meat of the code is the Add() method, which I think should work/port easily.
