Hello All:
I would appreciate any help or tips on the following. I am looking for what I term a rolling candle display. For instance if the current time is n:15 the 1 hour chart will display the candles as they appear from (n-1):15 <-> (n):15. The 4 Hour would display as it would appear (n-4):15 <->(n):15. Update would occur on the minute. The display would have the last 60 bars on hourly and last 24 bars on 4 hour as recent activity is what I am interested in
I've seen a candle globber that would draw a box around the prev candles to indicate what it would look like - but it was confusing on screen, i believe if something similar (and I can't find it now) may work if the original candles were made to disappear - perhaps by blending the color to match the background and only the box was displayed. But the prob is it would need to be run on 1 minute chart and the candles would be too fat to display 60 on the chart.
As I reread this I guess what I am looking for is to repaint the candles every minute to reflect how they would look based on the latest time. I can write simple ksh scripts - but I think this may be beyond me.

In trading, there is no bullshit. You either make money or you don't.
