I have code now that is supposed to change the current bar (add an X or O) within a time period and it is supposed to be in the version you have. I have noticed it is not working all the time and haven't had the time to debug it (I have to debug it during market hours so I can debug to a live feed but I am at my real job then!). All it will do is extend the current bar within a time period. It will not reverse because I have to wait till the end of the period, otherwise I may end up having to take away a bar I just added due to a reversal if the price reverses again within the same time period. I'll get it working one of these days (maybe by debugging to something that trades after/before hours -- the emini?).

I am working on going back in history as we speak. Basically adding a parameter to the charts properties that lets you specify how many periods you want to go back (easier than coding dynamically changing periods as you scroll back, no time!). It starts off with something like 256 periods as default and changes to fill the screen. After that you can add more periods if you want to scroll back. Should have it done soon.

OK, now I get it. I did not realize that the time period had to end before the reversal column printed. In addition, I'd seen the chart update intra period, but apparently only to extend the column, not to reverse it. Before making that comment, I compared a one minute and a five minute chart with the same box and reversal criteria. They appeared identical. I guess it just so happened that all of the one minute 6 box reversals held into the 5 minute period.
