Looking to L 2927/52 with bear weakness. usual target of 3079 might be getting greedy.. 3014 ?? i already have a long signal.. but i will just wait. its not e/close yet.. not longing up here at 2970, and looking to s 3079 43 or weakness.
in the norm
better odds if the next h closes above 2980.. and even better 84... 3079 is norm... it is pretty high.. closing some at 14 ... .. 3079 is norm before 2889... so we could still drop ...there is more s at 2923 and 27.. and any sequence of about 30 pips between..

yeah they had some serious resupply issues at that time in that part of the european theatre of operations, and it was a damn cold winter by all accounts...

quite a thing to have fought in the battle of the bulge... although patton was a poor general imo, more interested in glory than the well-being of the men under his command... like so many of them, i reckon rommel was probably the best all rounder, thankfully for the allies his hands were tied by the german high command...

20 pip retrace, looks to me like it wants to break again, lots of euro data due out at the london open, might save it till then, pretty late where i am...

plus i'm not an expert in the characteristics of the pair...

OK...a new version already. Called it Signal Bars Lite! Very Apple inspired all around!

I run 20+ instances of this in my terminals, so the leaner the better. I've stripped out ALL (non essential) MAs, Stochs, RSI, CCI, blah, blah, bloat. The previous one I posted just hid them from view...this ones removes all traces to save on CPU cycles...why not? So...this one is 60% lighter than the previous version...suck it, Apple!

Large size functionality is restored in this one, too.

Some pics...

Original on left...new compact version on right...

Small...Price Only. Can set to large as well.

^^^If you set ShowPriceOnly to TRUE...ShowPrice is irrelevant.


That's it. You can tweak all colours to your liking.


As far as a "Lite" version...that's probably as far as I'll ever go, so there probably won't be anymore revisions...unless somebody has any GREAT ideas. At some point, I'll tweak a version with a couple things I want to add. When I do that, I'll add back all of the BarTrend stuff and position it all sticking to the "compact" theme...which I have always wanted!

So...much like Apple...nothing revolutionary here, but...the price is better than theirs! I kid, I kid. Just a staple tool in my arsenal. Required real eatate always pissed me off, though. Problem solved. Hope somebody else digs it, too.

Many thanks to killer for the source code...hashoo for you!

Doing great, Arch. Banking a few. Wonderful guest in town. Eating like a champ. Crap weather today, but that is a pretty weak complaint...I'm digging there.
