{quote} HiLaura, What are the Horizontal Blue and yellow dashed lines supposed to represent pls. Ben
Hi Ben - well spotted

They are something I'm trying out. They highlight non-interlocking bars. Areas where there is a slight gap between the close of one bar and open of the next.

I've found price often likes to return to these areas so I mark them on charts for future use.

Nothing officially part of the roadmap yet, just an experiment.

Hi laura,
Just keepin an eye on you, don't want you straying too far from a well proven, simple system, as verified by all of your clients.

You know what they say don't you------If it aint broke--leave it alone.

Look at all that stuff I sent you, Channels Trendlines, mixed in with a bit of Bluesteel, an GeorgeAus microscopic views, and lets not forget about that friend of yours who has tried to get you to see Divergences---Ooops who said that---(not me) now don't get upset just because your brain matter is wired differently to ours. Your friend will be happy if you just sway her way a tiny bit, but never the less.

You can lead a horse to water but you cannot make it drink it---so have a lovely day, make more fortunes and stay very safe up their in your little corner of the world.



n just for you a little White Heather to keep you warm and virus free.
plus a little of what you fancy, but not too much, you might miss another good entry and remember what passeth the lips--well you know where it may end up.

Have a lovely day with all of your friends "Roadmapping" today.

Laura A while back you had a post about how far would you take a trade when price as moved away fro the 200 sma I agree there is not a particular set distance that works every time I have been giving this some thought and enclosed a chart example with the simple idea Think its just a case of how far price stretches the elastic band until it reaches a certain limit for that time frame ps Of course I would have to add my standby indicator as well (haha) {image} {image}
Do you get a lot of headaches, Dave? That's a lot of colour!

What is it, TMA True or similar?

One of Dave's old pals built an indicator to find and show gaps to take advantage of this...called it Gap-Finder, funnily enough

Are you on the right thread? I thought this was a relatively simple system. Those charts look like something NASA might use.

{quote} NO, the wife is the only one that gives me a headache Haha obviously I tone the colors down a bit on my trading charts as they are optional They are just my own set pip Bands around your 200 sma The indicator is on your page 60 post 1197 last time I looked it had 77 downloads but I do not think many if any guys have spotted how versatile it is See easy to tone down ? ps Come on meany that got to be worth a like from you now also I must add, I agree with Ben even though it is going to cost me a drink, glad the pubs are shut as he falls over...

Morning Dave,

Have been looking at your channels you made up from the indicator.
Surely a simple MA Channel (Fibo) achieves the same thing or is the same thing?

Hey Kippers that's enuf of that, just cos my gyroscope is spinning out of control, and ya better add a few more drinks onto the list.

Also if you do not know how far to stretch the rubber band, tie the break to a 240 volt switch outlet that will bring you to attention, very quickly I might add---Nih told us how to use it, REMEMBER????Adjusted to suit our individual methods of trading. (RIP NIH)

Help - TradingView experts wanted

I was playing with this Dax chart and the candles appear far too short ( scale is compressed) making them virtually untradeable due to their compressed scale.
Anyone know how to lengthen the candles and, hence the scale to enable easy reading and marking for trading.
I wish I would leave things alone

Hi Mr T, just drag your cursor up/down the right hand prices - same as Meta.

Hi Erebus. I love your comments on here, short and to the point. Personally, I have signed up with TradingView, and I haven't got a clue what to do with it. I have no idea what it's for even. I think I will live without it.

Turnip,
Hopefully this is what you are asking for.
at the lower right corner of your graph you will see that the work "auto" is in light blue, this is the program autoscaling the graph.
to increase the Y axis scale. just move your mouse to being over the price scale.
You will see the cursor change to and double headed up/down arrow.
hold the right mouse button down while dragging the mouse up the screen (expands the scale)
hold the right mouse button down while dragging the mouse down the screen (reduces the scale)
you will note once when you do the the "auto" in the lower left is no longer a different color. The scale you created is now fixed, so if price moves below/above the scale that is now fixed your bars will go off the screen.

want try something extreme not by rules (marry this strategy with other one)on demo acc.will post what will happen.my goal is to deal with psihology,if I take trades with such high risk reward i am no hope that any of thease trades will win(with RR 1:1 every trader have stress and hope that trade will turn in profit,and make mistakes close trades early etc..).but in long run some trades can win and cover many loses,but question is if it will hapen,I will test it for one week {image} {image} {image} {image} {image} {image}
