NT7 & volume bars

[fourpeaks99]

In NT7 i dont see an option for Volume bars in the menu bar at the top of the chart. In NT6 i saw there was an option for Volume, andTick bars but I cant find it in NT7. Is there another place that i goto to change the chart to a volume based chart?

Thanks,

You can just type in the chart in NT7, for example 3000V for 3000 Volume chart, or 100T for 100 Tick chart.

Thanks, When im using a volume based chart and change the ticker symbol it starts the building the volume history on the chart (only have 1 bar on the chart to start). This would be ok if it saved the history but if i go back to the original ticker symbol again it starts the history all over again... is there a way to fix this?

fourpeaks99, which broker or datafeed do you use?

I use TD ameritrade

TDA would unfortunately not support historical tick data backfills, thus you need to ensure the realtime received data is stored in the database for future usage.

Tools > Options > Data > Save chart data as historical.

Thanks, Could you tell me which brokers do allow for historical backfills?
