Hey Pukey...you still around?
I had a look at the code for the SHI Channel and it looks like the M5 problem is due to a dodgy setting for the BFF variable.
It can be easily altered by opening MetaEditor, loading up the code for the SHI Channel and changing this part of the code:
Code:
switch (Period())
{
case 1: BFF = 12; break;
case 5: BFF = 48; break;
case 15: BFF = 24; break;
It's the number 48 that is causing the fat channels. I have found that changing it to 24 (same setting as the M15 timeframe) works like a charm.
...and don't forget to hit the compile button when you're done
If you are squeamish about fiddling with code, just do it on the chart by changing the BarsForFract input to something like...umm...24. Just note that doing it this will change the setting for ALL timeframes on that chart...not just the M5 !!!
