I want to use SetScaleCompressed for some intraday development.

Currently the time frame according to Bars.Scale is daily.

Somehow I need to get Bars.isIntraDay set to true, it's currently set to false.

I run the following test prog:

CODE:
Please log in to see this code.

With the current prog i get "cannot convert daily bars" error.
When i comment out SetScaleCompressed and remove comments on SetScaleMonthly Bars.Scale = monthly

Is there a flag that needs to be set to designate intraday, if so what is the flag?

As already mentioned in support ticket, SetScaleCompressed is valid for intraday bars only. Bars.IsIntraday will always be false for non-intraday bar scales.

Download some intraday data and run the script on an intraday bar scale. If you have selected to save Data Scale in Wealth-Lab's Preferences dialog, "Advanced Options", uncheck this as it could have affected.
