Playback

What you can do is display the intra-day tick chart, click down on the chart background and drag the chart to the right so the last couple of hours are off the right hand side of the chart.   Then press the period key to step the chart one bar.   Each time you press the period key one more bar is added to the chart and you get the effect of a new bar being added as if it were coming from live data.

You could automate the process of the period keypress using ESPL so that it happens on a timer using this example script:

begin
 if who=10 then begin
  if FindWindow(eChart,'SP9Z.0')>0 then begin
   SetFocus;
   SendKeys('.');
  end;
 end;
end;

To use, cut and paste the script in the editor and edit the chart name the script is working with.   Use the menu Run | Timer Interval to set a rate in seconds for the frequency of how fast the chart will add a new bar.   Then click the menu Run | Timer Start and the ESPL script will animate your chart by stepping it leftward so the bars you slide off of the chart will shift into view one bar at a time.

Subject: Intra-day chart PLAYBACK
 
Hi,

I am a happy user of ESPL & your product.

Is ESPL/Ensign provides some capabilities of doing a PLAYBACK (eg. Last 2
Hour) for intraday (repeat tick by tick) charting/study?
