Hi,
I have ODIN client (v9.0.0.0) from RK Global. I was trying the charting feature but am not able to plot candlestick charts. It only shows basic line graph. There is an OHLC option but on selecting that I get a blank chart.
Also, when I try "download data" option I get a cannot connect message. I want to see if I can get historical data here

The less said about ODIN's chart 'feature' the better. Yes, you cannot display the graph as OHLC or as candlesticks in version 9.0. The 'Manage Scrips' or Download data option does not work. When contacted, they said that the charts were "under development". The help file does not have a section on graphs.
Some irritants:
- The chart only plots current day data that has streamed when logged in. It will plot data after a graph has been opened once for the day. This is to say that there are no historical charts. Also, if you log off or the software hangs, the intervening data will not plot.
- The volume plot is misleading since it only plots the 'tick' volume. In my case, the 'tick' occurs every 3 to 4 seconds and the volume for the intervening trades is lost.
- The volume axis is to 3 decimal places; beats me. Can be set but does not save settings -- who would like to do it everyday.
- etc. etc.
Hopefully, once a little time passes, you will be amused rather than anguished. The marketing brochure of FT has this to say:
