Hi Slainte
I mainly use beb4.i dont have a real need for continuously updated data.that I can read in pf
because in low tf ----p-f can crowd the chart area.you can do nearly the same job with netdania for intraday and prorealtime for eod.both are free
Iif you use metatrader, you can get many tf.using period converter
beb5 is great.
learn to spot those breakout points on line and candle
trend analysis is best in pf

you can download eod data from yahoo
you can export eod and intaday data from freestockcharts.com
put them in a file.beb will then read them
my point was that if you practice with line or candles you can get breakout points and trends quite easily without having to resort to p/f.You can use Prorealtime for eod and netdania for intraday to practice.Both have lots of timframes.Horizontal supp/res can vary with the timeframe
what you want to find
1.breakout points..ie that is the same as a double/triple top breakout
2.trends.carve up the chart into bullish and bearish sections using trendlines
3.Move around the timeframes picking up those different horizontal supp/res area
By doing this you are emulating the process of changing the box size and reversal in a p/f chart
do not load too much data..say 2/3 trends max
dont have the candles/bars too close together.You will be creating a sort of p/f based chart by doing it this way
With any chart....the most important...is trend.So always place trendlines on first and carve it up into bullish and bearish sections.Hence,as i said..no need to load too much data
It will make life easier and more profitable for you..imho

do you need p/f to read this chart ??
to all... so much depends on how much data to load up on to the plot area of the chart
as to how you interpret the chart
