Line chart users?

David's faith said:
Well it shows double tops etc, convergence channels are recognizable as well as trends. It is missing information on wheter buyers or sellers dominate and which prices they see as expensive/cheap, where support and resistance are if the line punches through them etc. But it would be tradable pattern wise. Not that I would do it but I am atleadt surprised that newbs don't begin with lines before using candles.

Candles definitely provide more price info. Using both gives you an even more complete picture.
 
Today i used line charts and was up 10% in 21 minutes. I've been trading since 1987 when i had to phone my broker at a pay phone to place a trade, long before cell phones and online trading. Until this day i still go back and forth between bar charts and line charts. Once again I'm trying to simplify my stratgey. I consider my skills less than average and i try to dumb down the process to help me. Line charts provide a cleaner, more straightforward view of price trends. When using line charts, I feel less cluttered or less distracted by the additional information in candlestick charts, and find that line charts allow me to more clearly see the price action I care about.

I created a sparkline sheet yesterday just for amusement to see if it had merit for me.
The Tether, Doge & Link wont work as for some reason are not recognized.

Just some more ordinary currencies.
 
I built custom charting software and it can do 1sec charts. I have so many screens, that I can have candle, line, tick, etc all at once. Line charts are useful.

My best momentum analysis algo recolors line charts based on a complex function of price changes. For most purposes, I think line charts are superior, but a good candle chart can allow very quick assessments.
