man, it's support line (on bars' low). When price break it , you sell. Other is resistance line (on bars' high). When price break it, you buy.

For those of you using or trying out NinjaTrader 7 (note: this does NOT apply to vers 8), I find these 2 utilities make dealing with the chart much easier. One gives you a toolbar shortcut for drawing on the chart and the other allows you to "pan" the chart with a click and hold of your left mouse button and then move the mouse around. If you want you want to "re-lock" the price bars to fit the chart you can click on the little "F" box in the top right corner. I think these 2 things will help you think of NT7 as being more "intuitive" when interacting with the chart.

In NT7, just import this zip file under File->Utilities->Import NinjaScript...

I like ctrader, but I will look into ninja as well .... There is another platform wich looks interesting... That's Quantower it is from developers of ptmc.... I als will check that out.... Still there is no great platform web or cloud based with range bars.. Tradingview just added range bars but you have to pay 30 a month and I don't like it so much....
We will see... Ctrader told me they will add range bars in the future also on ctrader web.

Would Ninja8 work on a Apple Imac ?
I run a MacBook air and have installed VMWare Fusion for a couple windoz programs, one of which was NinjaTrader 8.
NinjaTrader 8 works just fine.
I do however run MotiveWave as my platform of choice and interface it with Interactive Brokers.

I have been persuaded to try AMP Futures with Sierra charts.

Could you Futures traders take a look at my chart window to see if it is "Rockypoint" in layout please?

I am presently playing with the package to familiarize myself with charting and platform.
Sorry to be a pest.

Tried to send you a pm to say thanks. I am trying to get away from spotfx and onto Futures. However, I have a steep learning curve ahead, for an old man, but it seems Futures ( I am told) is a more fair battle ground:-)
I am trying AMP with Sierra. Presently finding my way around the thing but exploration of the thing does make things clearer. I am reading CME site to learn about Futures. Your advice has been appreciated.

Turnip15,
Been using sierra charts for a number of years now and find it a great platform. Infinity futures in the states provide it as there platform for futures traders.
Infinity have a lot of training videos on You Tube that I have found to be very helpful in learning sierra charts.
Hope this helps.

{quote} the highest price based on yesterday's highest / lowest price or based on the highest / lowest last oscillator bar indicator ...?
Its not necessarily the lowest or highest of yesterday.This has nothing to do with the oscillator yet.Just price.When you open any chart and look at the most recent price action you will always see an area where price went and turned back or hit a wall.That area is either a recent high or low where you draw a support or resistance line and you are now waiting for this area to be broken b4 u sell or buy.

See the GJ chart i just opened 23 minutes after the US open session started now.You can see that price went down but turned...so i drew a line there where it failed to go further.Thats support.I did the same when price went up.Thats resistance.I can then look to sell or buy when one of the two lines is broken.

Just one piece of advice to those interested in using range bars. For Forex, probably fine because the volatility is so low compared to the popular futures contracts around the world. I stopped using them on futures this past year because the volatility was creating too many bars too quickly (missing signals) so I had to move up to 1 min charts. If I have to go past a 5 tick range bar in what I do then I've found I'm better off sticking with 1 min charts for signals.

I seem to have more luck with one minute bars, perhaps because my previous experience has made me comfortable with them.

Trade what makes you comfortable, this system works fine either time based or range based or tick based for that matter.

Eur/Usd short
( E/J was also a short but I was watching EU. the E/J was messier, so I thought but Rockies advice re stops and consolidations etc should have helped decision making)

Where is every one ?

This is the US30 -Range bars ( TEN PIPS). One can see a couple of "blips" where price moved too fast to get in -this chart is a "Spread betting" ( Not Futures) chart.

E/J ( I know -there where probably better trades- even the dax was more "Range bar" friendly today :-)

So - E/J - two out of three winners. ( Second trade pulled back too far for my nerves and spooked me out )

( Where is everybody ? )
