Hi, couple questions.. can you customize the bar charts time frame ex: 6min. bars or 8 min. bars etc..? If doing a opening range breakout automatic program can you have a buy or sell order done at the opening of a specified next bar. (I hope this makes sense)Basicaly buy at the opening price of designated bar..

Thanks in advance,

Dave

Hi,

Yes you can, we support any period of minute, seconds, tick, volume etc...If you run a system bar by bar, the default handling calculates at the closeof a bar. The close is not defined until you know the open of the next bar thus orders placed on bar close is the same as next bar open.
