Yes, I understand, but I turned off 'Update value intrabar' and still no lines.


Try Iopen = open .

Thanks Vittorio,
I tried your suggestion, but still just the text appears, no lines. Although I did loose the blank subgraph at the bottom.

BuyZone/TradeStation question: Anyone know how to place a OCO order in TS based off the open price. The first minute of the trading session moves so fast and goes in and out of the buyzone just as fast, it would be nice to put in an order .10 above open and .10 below open with say a .10 stoploss and a .15 target if its possible to do on the open. Any help?

Thanks

If you do that, you take a chance of having your stop hit when a spike occurs.

IMHO, better to have your target exit order entered, stop out manually and cancel your exit.

TRO,
I've been manually trading the buy zone on AAPL. I have seen some days historically where the price enters the buyzone but doesn't reach the .10 profit target only to reverse and go down (or up) the rest of the day. This gives a big lose and potentially wipes out a few weeks of milking .10/day. How do you reduce the chance of this happening, or how do you limit your loses?
THanks
Ken

Ken:

If the price enters the SHORT ZONE from above, it's time to GO SHORT!

The idea is to be with the trade as it leaves the zone so you can get the most "milk".

If you are LONG and the price reverses down past the OPEN and through the SHORT ZONE, and you are still LONG, then perhaps you may want to reconsider trading....LOL!!

All kidding aside, please post a 1 minute chart showing what you are talking about.

When you are scalping, "IF IT STALLS, IT FALLS", TAKE YOUR PROFIT QUICK AND DON'T BE GREEDY.

Avery,
Here is a chart of AAPL on 7/5. It doesn't happen often with AApl, but sometimes you get a big Gap and Run. It closed up $4.00 for the day, so it would have lost 40x the .10/day target. I know, so make the retrace .12
right. It happens with Rimm more often. Probably need to filter out the days with significant news.

This is the reason you use THE BUY ZONE...

You would have been on the profitable side of the trade had you gone LONG in the LONG ZONE!!
