Sorry, I was kidding. Same reasoning as before. I can't pay (with money or time and effort) without knowing I would definitely be able to learn from you. What if you're scamming me? What if I can't learn from you? Then I've wasted my money paying you (or time and effort) and I've gotten...

K I'll get back to you in 12.5 weeks :D

The only context in which I've heard "over bought" and "over sold" is when people are using stochastics or some other sort of indicator. Is that what you mean? IME when stochs get to "overbought" that's usually a good time to start buying, and vice versa. And don't stochastics really...

How so? Like in the way they are formed? I'm comparing the same chart, one with OHLC and one with candles, and they convey exactly the same information.

vid isn't on youtube anymore but i watched it on the site: http://www.vstraderllc.com/DayTrading_ZigZag_Indicator_1.html Any idea how that indicator works? Is it just a superimposed Renko chart or something?

How do you define "value" here?

Waiting on a few medical bills. I know the book is cheap relative to trading profits and losses. I just have a psychological quirk and like to keep my credit card bills as low as possible.

Yeah, but how is using OHLC bars different from candles?

so if you use one of those devices, do they contain their own video memory, or will they be splitting the existing video memory from the card to which it is connected? In other words, if you have a vid card with one output and 128 video memory, if you connect it to one of those boxes so you...

I would like to add that I found that first image in this thread (http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=146049&perpage=30&pagenumber=4) and it is a 3 bar reversal programmed by jychiu. I found the second image in the AHG 2.0 thread posted by Tums...

Doesn't look smooth enough to be Hull. Here it is on OEC compared with on Sierra. Same value, same calculation based on close of bar.

This gives me compile errors in OEC:

^ Thanks! I found it. Now I've just gotta fix these compile errors :/

Plus I have a feeling that trading using PA involves entering mid-candle sometimes. I'm so used to doing everything on the close of a bar/open of the next bar because that's the most accurate way to backtest.

and this!

whoa I just found this. Is this Price Action?

It looks ok because today was trendy. In a choppy day it gets owned. Things such as this always look better than they perform. The buy and sell dots are close to tops and bottoms, but when you remember that you can only enter at the beginning of the following bar, it loses a lot of value...

So I'm messing around while I'm watching American Idol and I tried to program PA-based buys and sells into today's chart. Here are the results. Dots print at the close of the candle, so if you were to enter from them, you would be entering at the beginning of the next candle after the dot...

Candle or OHLC formations cannot be decided until the bar is complete. I decide a bar is a spinning top (or any other type) after that bar is completed. Prior to the completion of it, it could turn into (almost) anything else. As for "PA looking tired," I don't know what that looks like...

That's a good point. 500 tick, not 1 min. I currently use daily pivot points (the standard pivot point formula). I've only found them to be useful in the sense of like if I'm already in a short position in a down trend that is getting close to S1, I might use that as a target because...
