Sorry for the delay in answering; I dropped this setup because of a change in philosophy on colored candles and some other ruminations.
I like these bars simply because they are easier on the eyes and have the same information as those with the gap.
I'm anxiously awaiting the NT7 Beta for public use so I can get my old strategy coded that required two different indicators on different timeframes, one of which used COBC and the other realtime tick streams.
Can you help answer these questions from other members on futures io?
