TC2000 version 7 does not have pre or post market data or futures. TC2000 version 7 is not limited to 500-bars of data and usually has much more data available. TC2000 version 7 Platinum does have $TICK and $TRIN symbols available in RT.
Market Stats, TICK and TRIN
BUT - these "realtime" TICK and TRIN (and A/D) symbols are 15 minute delayed - they are NOT realtime.

Thank you for your suggestion. It has been assigned case number 7777.
Thank's for your quick response Bruce. Can you also add realtime Advance/Declne ($NYAD) to the request then? All three are typically used together for timing day trades, and from that point of view (and as Mysteron said) 15 minute delayed data is not useful.

I agree with Kumar and Mysteron. I really don't want to have to subscribe to another data/software vendor and learn their software to get TICK and TRIN.

Thanks for your response, Bruce. Maybe I'll just use a manually drawn horizontal line. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing a way of doing it automatically.

I'm currently a TC Gold customer and considering upgrading to Platinum. I'm looking for an indicator that will put a horizontal line on the chart at the high (and another, different colored horizontal line at the low) of the current day's 30 minute opening range. For example, if the high during the first 30 minutes of the day is $10.00, the indicator would be a horizontal line at $10.00 for the remainder of that day, regardless of the zoom level. Is this possible in TC Platinum?

Perfectly brilliant, or brilliantly perfect, or both. I figured it could be done, but just couldn't quite get there by myself. Thanks for your help.

I have an Easyscan that finds stocks that are in a long term up trend. The criteria in the scan are:
1. MAX(STOC30.15,10) - MIN(STOC30.15,10) = value < 3.5 (to find stocks where Stoc30.15 is close to a flat line for the past 10 days)
2. STOC30.15 = value > 70 (I want the Stoc flat-lining at a high value)
3. (MAXH10 - MINL10) * 100 / C = value > 2.28 (to leave out stocks where the price has been flat for 10 days)
4. There are also some criteria for mkt cap, volume, and for leaving out closed-end debt funds.
For 3/2/06, the scan finds 313 stocks. I look at all of them, and move about 70 that I want to watch to a permanent "Trending Stocks to Watch" watchlist. Every day I'll add the stocks that I'm interested in from the scan to this watchlist.
Now when I run the scan again on subsequent days, it's going to find many of the same stocks. Is there a way to eliminate the stocks that are already in the "Trending Stocks to Watch" watchlist from the results of the scan to reduce the number that I have to look at every day?

Thanks Jim and jynkin for your help. That log formula will keep me busy testing ideas for weeks. I have to admit that when you sent your first comment about doing the calcs on a log basis, I started doing some research on how to do that, and gave myself a headache!

Ok, thanks for your quick response. I'll try to find another way to skin this cat.

The following is an excerpt from "Sir Laptop's" submission on 3/2/00. I am trying to duplicate his approach in TC2005 but have hit a couple of roadblocks and I wonder if someone could point me in the right direction:
========================
As an example of one trading scheme: include on the log price chart for a real stock, a line showing the daily price of a model increasing at a fixed rate of 500%/year, and a linear regression line for the short term performance of the real stock. I select stocks where the slope of the regression line is greater than that of the model, meaning the stock is growing faster than 500%/year. Then I divide the stock prices by the model prices and take short (10 day) and long (40 day) moving averages of this ratio. I buy stocks where the 10-day is well above the 40 day, and sell when the 10-day crosses below the 40 day (meaning the price is no longer increasing by at least 500%/year).
=========================
I have added FX400 as the comparison symbol on a tab, and a 10-bar linear regression of price as an indicator. By searching through your support database (thank you, Jim Dean, for your extensive contributions), I built a PFC that calculates the slope of the LR line. The formula I'm using is: (4.5 * C + 3.5 * C1 + 2.5 * C2 + 1.5 * C3 + .5 * C4 - .5 * C5 - 1.5 * C6 - 2.5 * C7 - 3.5 * C8 - 4.5 * C9) / 82.5.
When I sort a watch list by the PFC, I should see that all the stocks that have a LR slope of the same number have LR lines that are parallel to each other. I thought the problem might be related to different screen scaling for different securities, but it still seems like the slope of the LR line relative to the FX400 line should be similar for different securities which have the same calculated slope. For example, the value of the PFC for OS and IX on 1/30/06 is .85, so their LR lines should be parallel to each other, (or at least similar, relative to the FX400 line on each security) but they aren't. In fact the LR line for IX is pointing down (slope is negative). I'm using logrithmic scaling, but I don't know what I'm doing wrong. (That's the first question).
The second question is: How do I access the comparison symbol in a PFC? I see in the help files that I can sort by the difference between two indicators but I haven't been able to find anything in the help files on the subject of using comparison symbol data in PFC's (So that I can "divide the stock prices by the model prices and take short (10 day) and long (40 day) moving averages of this ratio").
Thanks for whatever help you can provide.
