Scroll Chart Bar-By-Bar

[Alpha Trader]

Wouldn't it be better to just use a charting platform that has replay data...allowing you to realistically reply the actual price action data instead of the unrealistic bar by bar that does not actually show how each interval changed with each tick.

Several data providers allows replay data...just Google it.

@wrbtrader I am with a prop firm and use Fusion as my platform, which doesn't allow these features.

I am not too fussed about the actual replaying of the data (won't complain if it's there tho) as long as I can have the bars, as my research does not require it.

Not automatic, but in Ninja you can scroll very easily using the roller button on your mouse.

You also have the possibillity for market replay like WRB is talking about. And yes, at different speeds as well, both faster and slower.

@Laissez Faire I think you have to subscribe to Ninja. Do I stand correct on this?

@Metamega thanks for pointing that out. However, I am almost pure PA and so don't depend much on external indicators.

From memory - tradingview.com was going to implement this feature a while back. I was in touch with the support guys over it. Haven't checked to see if they have done it or not. But it was in the dev pipeline for them....

@damnpenguins it looks like I can scroll bar by bar, but would be even nicer if I can do it click by click. Any idea if that is an option (I looked around, but wasn't able to find it)?. Thanks.

I need something that is free, preferably online.

Medved Trader has not started charging yet...though it'll happen very soon. In the meantime you could try it out and see if it's something that might be of interest.

BTW, yearly charge...$170 bucks.

@shfly I'll have a look at it. Appreciate your info. on this .

Yah, I personally only use keltner bands to help visualize price moves and swing sizes but this is the type of indicator that can fall into into this trap.

I currently demo CME futures myself at ninjatraderbrokerage.com for free. You will have to renew your demo every 2-4 weeks though. Works very well for me.

Most of the smaller 'bucket shops' offer Ninja for free when you open an account, so that's what I'm doing when I go back live. Overall very satisfied with Ninja for my needs, although I register that some others think it's an inferior software.

@Laissez Faire thank you for the link. I will check it out .

FYI - even when we do start charging, you will still be able to use it for free with limitations. The requirements posted here seem to be well within those limitations. https://www.medvedtrader.com
