Manipulating Bar and Candle Width This video demonstrates the process.
Yes. Open your preference window for the chart (double-clicking in horizontal scale at bottom of chart will get you there). In the "General" tab, you’ll find the “Pixels/Bar” setting, which controls the number of pixels allocated to each bar. Instead of a single number, you can manually enter text in the following format:
X:Y
There are actually multiple ways to do multiple periodicities.
Let's use the specific example above of overlaying a 5-minute stochastics on a 1-minute chart. Let's further assume that we are specifically after the "Fast %D" component of that 5-minute stochastics.
Using Mixed Periodicity Data Indicator (MPD)
Once solution (and probably the most popular solution now days) would be to use the Mixed Periodicity (MPD) indicator. You can access additional information on MPD at:
This 29 minute video discusses the important basic elements of traditional multi-pane (bar/candle) charts. Topics include creating charts, using the chart setup wizard, changing the ticker symbol or periodicity of a chart, and sharing chart setups and images with support and other Investor/RT Users.
This 12-minute video demonstrates various methods and shortcuts for managing space in Multi-Pane charts. Topics include adjusting the pixels per bar setting using the arrow keys or mouse scroll wheel, and adjusting the amount of right margin space at the right side of your charts.
This 14 minute video covers many aspects of customizing multi-pane charts. Topics include adjust various chart colors (foreground, background, gradient), chart periodicity, revising ticker symbol, scaling options, scrolling, and more.
These indicators may be "cumulative" indicators. A cumulative indicator is one that builds upon itself (using its own previous value). For example, any indicator involving an exponential smoothing fits into this "cumulative" category. When an indicator is cumulative, its value is dependent in some way on all previous data elements that are considered in the calculation. While the chart is loading a certain number of bars (depending on the chart's viewing period), the custom column is loading a minimal number of bars for efficiency reasons.
This 6 Minute video demonstrates how to setup lines and histogram-style indicators so they are drawn in different colors conditionally.
First, add an Annotation to a chart. To do so, click on the "a" button in the chart toolbar (or right-click in the chart and choose "Draw: Annotation") and then click in the chart where you want the annotation. A text box will appear. Type in the text: %BARLEFT
Charts with certain periodicities require tick data in order to form properly. These include Volume Bars, Tick Bars, Renko, Point and Figure, Range Bars, and Change Bars. These periodicities can also be formed from 1-minute data but generally they will not be as accurate. For periods where there is tick data, Investor/RT will use the tick data to form the accurate bars. It will then use the 1-minute data before that to form those bars as best possible. By default, Investor/RT will form bars from 1-minute data for up to 50 days back. For per
