nkhoi, there's no difference in the way channels are drawn. In the second pic your initial p3 is in a different place, so the tool selects p2 accordingly. - palinuro

Whether the answer is there or not depends very much on the question, and since we don't know details of how gucci is attempting to trade, or where he went wrong, I don't think it's a given that more chart study will solve the problem. The 'answer' to market structure and dynamics may be in...

RN, Put like that, it sounds a lot like Jack's view of trading the ES... :) nyse, Here's something on betting that I've been thinking about lately; it may or may not 'rhyme' with your ideas: "To bet on the bet, not on the choices that condition it. To opt for certain risk...

On the contrary, it appears to maintain its position despite considerably increased risk - somebody up close with a video camera. I can only conclude that nyse had cleverly disguised himself, while confounding the bird with another devilish puzzle. :) - palinuro

Yes, fair enough to use it as an analogy. Though perhaps when you specify 'expensive' paintings you are missing something 'obvious'.:) - palinuro

Well, since this seems to be the thread for reflections... The first thing I thought was, how can anyone make a reasonable assessment of the original on the basis of such a tiny, poor reproduction? My second thought was that it was done during the war, hence the violence and sense of...

Thanks Bill. I got into that trade but washed out in the chop. Did much better with the 1:00 and the 3:47 shorts - thought seriously of holding the last trade overnight, but that would have been breaking a rule... :) When you talk about automating the process, do you mean full automation...

Could you post that trade? I don't see it on my chart, at least following the ruleset. - palinuro

OK, but as you say context is crucial - a spike bar is significant because of its H and L, not just its O and C. You could try it and see, but my sense is the measure you propose is too arbitrary to be consistently useful. Also, there are plenty of examples every day when increased...

lj, The selection of what to measure depends on what you are trying to accomplish - which isn't clear from your post. :) I can't think of what the measurement you propose would accomplish for me, but I'd be happy to be told.... - palinuro

1. Yes 2. Both the ERG and the histo are important. I think I have the other stuff you asked about (PM), but not sure which computer it's on... will send it when I dig it up. - palinuro

If you're reading the speed with which CV bars complete and using that information in your trading, then I don't see how having a time histogram at the bottom of the chart would be anything but a useful visual aid and historical record. To the op, any software that allows you to program...

Mirus lists RCG, and RCG at least has a webpage in Italian. If they're actively looking for Italian customers, they ought to have an appropriate help desk. HTH - palinuro

"All that remains" is I'm quite sure true, but it isn't at all trivial. I'm convinced that confidence itself is the 'special sauce' this method requires - and something the conventional trader psychology books don't really address in the context of a method that isn't bound by mechanical entry...

lj, I wouldn't include premarket data in the 5 minute chart channel annotations because the channel slopes depend on having roughly similar volume/time conditions. For the 24 hour data I use constant volume bar charts, which compress the premarket into far fewer bars, appropriate to the...

The trades you post are much more selective than those annotations indicate - is that an idealized version, or do you sometimes take the 'always in' approach? - palinuro

FWIW and IMHO and since you haven't had other responses, I started using 24 hour charts for the ES a while back and would not return to guessing games with 'gaps.' - palinuro

Agree with the previous comments, but also wanted to ask what your Erg settings are. It looks way faster than proflogic's...which would definitely give you a lot more entries, if that's what you want. - palinuro

Well, so you know the X coordinate isn't a bar index but the timestamp, which makes turning off the alarm automatically a simple matter of comparing the times of p4.X and currentbar. Since there are time coordinates on the chart all the way to the far right, you should be able to obtain the...

Actually I'm a hack programmer, but I'm persistent and I've learned to use Print() a great deal. Speaking of which, did you try printing out the values to see why you couldn't get p4 (I assume you used the X coordinate) to work for your automated off? Might give you useful information...
