I looked it over.  On my machine I can change symbols pretty quickly.  That being said, let's review what you want the layout to do.

Can you outline for me (here) what you want Blocks to show you?  I will try and create an efficient layout from scratch for you.

ok reloaded on main pc it run a little faster --recheck on all three units .it depends on whats going on in this program to the length ot time it takes to run a block built program . it run from40 sec to 5 minute and 20seconds to run the same program on the same pc. as far as memory goes it takes a little bit more time on 512mg than on 4g- 800meg herze memory. plan to try on a difference type processor (amd) as fast  as i can. as i have stated before will buy processor and memory and hard drive just to run blocks if it will make it faster.this is a good program but way to slow to make it useable. blocks 2 was a much faster program.

I have four questions:
First I noticed that on various securities for 10/09/2008 the data displayed for the daily is different than the data on the daily.  See APC which on the daily has a high of 36.64 which is equal to the open.  However the intraday has an open of 35.21 which doesn't correspond to the daily.  Also the intraday high doesn't agree to the daily.  I found this to be true for many securities. Can you pleas explain you incorrect daily data?  I checked on other data vendors and saw you intraday data was correct.  It is your daily data that is wrong on this and many other securities.  Please explain and tell me what measures you have in place so this does not occur again.
Secondly, I would like to use a slow stochastics not the canned stochastics you offer in blocks as well as in Telechart.  Can you give me the code so I can change it so I have a slow stochastic not a fast stochastic?
Third, can you please help me paint my candles so they look like normal candles?  By that I mean such that the up candles are greed and the down ones are red and I would venture to say that if the close is greater than the previous close it would be green but hollow green (empty green) if the close was less than the open and the red candles would be red if close was less than the previous candle close and hollow red if the close is greater than that candles open....Also I would like those  open =close grey but the wicks green if the close is above previous close and the red wicks for those candles were the close is less than previous but the open = close grey as well.
Finally, I would like to have arrows placed on a bar that is a particular candle formation within a certain time frame of trading.  Let’s say between 11 Am and 11:30 AM.  Can you help me place those arrows on the bar?  In particular I am intersected in red and green arrows.

 


Thank you

TMONEY,

How are you using this PCF in TeleChart?  Is it a sort column or an indicator?

ABS(C > MAXc32.1)*32+abs((V>(V1*6))AND(V>100)and(c>L1))*32+ABS(C > MAXc7.1)*32+ABS((V>(V1*2.5))AND(V>50)and(c>=l1))*32+(ABS((C>MAXC7.1)and(v<=avgv3.1)and(v<5))*32)*3+(abs((V > MAXV32.1)and(V > 50)and(c>=l1))*32)*2
