Harold and everyone, thanks for posting charts everyday. On days where I didn't make it to the computer for the open it is great to be able to see what setups I should have taken etc.

{quote} I'm using on Forex, M15 all the way up to D1. Works great. Ticks are available in MT4, Onejester kindly pointed me in the direction of this website: https://ovo.cz/products/offline-char...t-volume-bars/ Pretty easy to set up but I found it really slowed down the MT4 platform, to the point where it was impossible to use. Probably a limitation of my laptop more than anything else though I think.
Google 'speed up mt4', seems like it keeps a load of bars for history and that slows down the program. That ovo was good, but sierra charts is in a different league for order entering etc. And it is a piece of piss to transfer to another computer which makes me very happy.

Ovo didn't slow me down at all.

Mate I'd be all over Sierra if I could, looks the business. My company laptop doesn't allow me to download programs unfortunately + I wouldn't get the data feed past the firewall. So it's MT4 for me at the moment.

I'll try reducing the bar history, thanks for that

Would this not have been a valid pullback short? it failed but seemed like a good place to sell especially after the thrust bar

Wasn't that a red thrust bar after the "3" - thus where the arrow points is where you should have gone short ?

True, but Goose is right, there is another Sell afterwards, which fails.

The overall trend is still up at that stage, but it's not easy in real time, if the set-up we are highlighting was a winner, we should also expect to take the next set-up short too.... The best outcome would be a +20 from the winner and maybe -6/8 on the loser
