Question re Adv Chart (would a script help here?)

[PJVex]

I am trying to solve two fairly basic problems...

1. Is there a script available which would show the number bar/candle one was on from the start of the market day (or start of the 24h day for ES/NQ)...for instance if I was in a 1m or a 5m chart, how do I look at 2:30pm at a given bar and see that it is BAR 72 (if I have my time profile set to 8:30am to 3:00pm). Can I get a script to put a small number below each bar/candle?

2. Also, while I realize I could have a small time interval chart up to help me with this, is there a clock on the adv. charts? I would like to look at the 5m chart, say like BAR 72 above, and see that we were exactly 2:30 into BAR 72. I am using the Windows clock in the bottom right corner, but it is not synched with the start of a new bar exactly and I don't always know if we are at the beginning of a given minute in the 5m bar, or at the end. I need this to calculate pro rata volume for the bar. So if there is 2000k after 1:30 minutes, then I know that there will be ~6700k for the bar.

Any help would be appreciated!!!

Hi Paul

I know the first is possible, but I'm not 100% sure about the second.

1) You would need to use the EFS Bar Count function. Here is some of the details for it http://www.esignalcentral.com/univer..._usage_efs.asp & http://www.esignalcentral.com/univer...ions/hs370.htm

2) For this I believe you would need to write an EFS code that returns the volume value at X time and then use that value. Not sure how it is best to do it. I would ask on the EFS forum here. http://forum.esignalcentral.com/foru...?s=&forumid=64

Hope this helps
