How is the 5 pm data update activated?  It doesn't seem to work with the "unlimited plus" plan.

Thanks

It is set correctly.  5pm is done by using the Snapshot option.   Then in your scan you set to snapshot to scan on that data.  The chart will update with 5pm data automatically.

This release seems to be pretty stable.

I still cannot view US indices and currency charts, but that's an old problem.

File size is 4MB smaller than the previous release, always good to see.

I have recently tried viewing forex charts, metastock format, with no success - is this the experience you have had when referring to currency charts?

CR, my problem with forex charts occurs in Bulldata mode. When I open a currency chart, all I see is a blank chart.

I don't have an forex data source in metastock format so I don't know whether it works or not.

In the earlier version, when saving a template to the tool bar, a descriptor of more than 3 letters could be used.  In the latest version, the descriptor is limited to only 3 characters.

Odd.

Yes we had to limit to 3.  I will put on the list to see if we use a different way

Brendan,

In the indicator area are you looking at adding the optional indicator smoothing for indicators.

For Example, similar to that of incredible charts.

Later it will be a major feature of being able to have an indicator or any indicator.

 

PS - please update your email address in the forum as it keep sbouncing when you post a message.

When displaying a weekly chart, the last bar shows only the data for the last day of the current week, not the full range of data for the week.

This happens on all days of the week except at the end of the week.  Once all the data for the full week is downloaded, then the last bar becomes correct.

I don't recall ever having this problem with the earlier version of BC - anybody else experiencing the same thing?

I am not aware of any chnages in this area.  I will need to observe.  What you are saying is the high/low is for the day not the week?

I have a different problem. Take ANN for example. It's Monday. On the weekly chart, I can see the last bar incorporates last week's as well as today's information. This applies to both price and volume.

Because of this I usually untick the Multiday Dynamic Update.

What I get is that the last bar of the weekly chart shows OHLC for the current day, instead of the current week.

Wait till mid week, then I can provide an example.

On the weekly chart of AXA below, the last bar is showing information related to today only, instead of all info for the week since Monday,

Was this problem fixed with v3.4.1?  The last bar on my weekly charts are still showing only the last days range.

Looks OK once EOD data is downloaded.  The problem perhaps occurs only after the 4.45 snapshot update.  I'll check again over the next few days.
