Real Time Data
Question: My trading system is based on a 1-minute chart. I'm trying to figure out how to use REAL TIME data instead of the one-minute CLOSE. (System will not work running out of a tick chart)... any help would be GREATLY APPRCIATED

dbowen14,
Check out this link to a section of the knowledgebase. It discusses how the different part of the efs interact and that the main function is called by the EFS engine as frequently as each new tick (even when processing non-tick based bars) unless set to compute on close from within the efs or from the drop down menu as shown here...
These intermediate close values every tick are available as close(0). You can use the knowledgebase to check for other things you have questions on, alternatively, you can use the search feature in the forum to find whether a potential question you have has been discussed before. Make sure when using the search tool that you use * and AND between your words, this makes finding this info much easier.
"Join words with AND, OR and NOT to control your search in more detail.
Add asterisks (*) to use wild cards in your search (*bullet* matches vBulletin etc.) "
