Why do people use Volume, Range and Tic charts?

Quote from fearless9:

For those of you who are working with CCVB and ergodic ( or anything else for that matter) you should be aware of the RTH OPEN at all times.

I would suggest that you mark it on your chart if you have not already done so.

The reason is straight forward.

RTH OPEN has a mesmerizing effect on price behaviour and can turn any perfectly well behaved trading methods into account sucking little beasts.

This effect spreads for several tics either side of the OP and will suck the price in and then repel it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What do you mean by RTH OPEN and
which indicator is similar to the ERGODIC (don't have that one in my software).

Thank you.

RTH = Regular Trading Hours
There is no other indicator I have found that even closly compares to the Ergodic.

There is another one CCI. It does wonders on volume charts. I have been using it for over 2 years now.

I've played with the CCI but for what I use it is too erratic. If you are successful using it with the CVB charts . . . GREAT!!

The object is to find a single indicator one is comfortable with to use along side price. Any more than a single indicator and confusion has a tendency to set it.

Totally agree. Single indicator along with price action is pretty much all one needs.

What I also use, once I get a signal for a trade, is DOM (market depth) along with T&S for more precise entry decisions and sometimes reversal decisions.

Yes, I have also dropped the CCI in favour of the TSI (ergodic)

cheers :D

No guarantees but this is what someone sent me for my ERG in eSignal.

Sorry Razor, I will ask some of my buds whether any of them have a version for eSignal tonight in an email.
