Ensign why do some pro's like it?

Quote from Eagletrader:

IQfeed provides upto date backfill for QT customers (I am one of them)..So if you switch on your IB quotes you don't have to wait 20 mins for backfill.. Is it the same for ensign ? Jerry has a great product for day traderts.. I am looking more at charts upto 3-6 months out using 1 hr or 3 hr bars...
ANybody from Ensign, Iqfeed or users, please help with the info...
Thx..

Five months late and you probably already know the answer to this...

But here it is anyway... As soon as you open a new chart or start up
Ensign with charts already there...

It backfills automatically! But... there is usually about 5 minutes of
missing data (the last 5 minutes)...

You can refresh this chart within the next 5 minutes or so and it
will fill in.

Presto! You now have your chart(s)... Each time frame fills in by
itself which is kind of strange compared to QT... :(

You have to refresh each chart too to get the missing backfill... :(

One of the better known pros using Ensign is Buffy. I get a kick out of following the evolution of her charts. Heres the latest version.

Must be something wrong with my computer. If I hit the little button
in the lower right, it does a terrible job of maximizing the pic?

Or was this to show Buffy uses 82 time frames, 600 colors and
3 million indicators?... You do have to admit, those are some pretty
looking charts... :D

Yeah, the first time I saw them I thought I was having an acid flashback. They seem to work for her however.

And how do we know that?

Depends also what we mean by "work".

Look pal, I could care less if you believe me or not. Shes a moderator for the Ensign chat room and has been around for years. Pretty easy to check her out if youre really interested.
 
Question:

If you run Ensign w/ IB feed, will charts using the IB symbol be backfilled with DTN/IQ data? or do you need to use a different symbol/chart for that?

Thanks

Did not mean to be offensive.

My point is that I have seen so many chat room gurus over the years (Buffy and the rest of the Dacharts/ensign bunch included) and based on what I have seen I have to conclude that vast majority of them are not actually profitable/consistent/professional traders themselves. I have actually caught many of them cheating on their real time calls, some cases are funny to the extreme. Regarding Buffy I remember her at some point refusing to make real time calls stating all the usual excueses.

Whether she can walk the walk or not I do not know and I do not make any allegations. However I have not seen any evidence that she can so I have to assume that she is part of the majority.

Btw. I have picked some things from Dacharts that have influenced my trading a lot. This does not include Buffy's stuff though (don't like indicators much).

Btw. I think I was about the first to question Harristech or whatever his nick was and we all saw how that ended :)

So without evidence we have to assume... hmm... interesting...

Assuming any belief can be quite a bummer...


Assume
