A very good time with the Dow . Apart from other things the 200 did well on it's own. {image}

EDIT: Missed the Pin bar bounce off the 200 shown between the 2nd and third oval from the left

{quote} Yes i agree, it is repainting. I have reduced the settings to 15min and 5min, still repaints and slows down the platform. It appears to repaint in candle sequences of lower timeframe divided into higher timeframe. (15-5=3 + 60-15=4) On the SPX500 at 9.25AM UK it alters every 6candles on the 15/5 setting on 1min chart
That's right.

This topic has probably been done to death on other forum threads but it's recalculating rather than repainting. I know that might seem like semantics but it's an important distinction to make. It's forced to recalculate because it's a MTF tool.

As it's a MTF tool, it was never intended to be used for backtesting as the history is not reliable. I suggested it to those who wanted to trade 1m oil/indices because the live reading (not the history) could be used as a bias. For timeframes of 5m+, I'd stick with the TrendStrengthRSI.

Poor entry (didn't wait for retrace - naughty!) but result was fine.

Reason I wanted to get in around this area? There was confluence of daily open line and SMA.

Hi LauraT
As you are trading mainly on the 1min timeframe do you take notice where the 200sma is on the higher timeframe charts. When the price crosses or bounces off the 200sma on the 1min chart it may not on the higher timeframes, as this would normally occur at a different price/level ?

Hi

I don't, but you can if you wish. There might even be an indicator somewhere that allows you to see where the other timeframe SMAs are.

I don't know ( being new to this approach) how often the 1 Minute bounces off the 200 but it certainly seems worthwhile waiting for as a form of Confluence and as a reason to increase the number of contracts on a trade.
As an aside -I find the 8ema channel focuses the tired old ( in my case) eyes on price enabling one to spot h/l and l/l etc. And price action in general.

Hi Dave,
Pray, tell what is your Top Secret OB/OS indicator? Is it homemade or something that you have adjusted to suit your style of trading?
There are quite a few, but I am intrigued by your "TOP-SECRET" label.

Sorry but it will have to be cleared by the Boss Laura to see if she thinks it brings any added value to the method

Yer, bang on Lem, you never know how long I have got left in today's world, so maybe it just might be a parting gift.
Joking aside, you know how long its been my standby indicator ( not easy to grasp at times) but no matter what anyone says its been very kind to me
I just look at it as another form of RSI or any other type of OB/OS indicator
ps
its free to the nice guys but a million pounds to the indicator collectors
Lem love your style and attitude, spot you posts in a few places
