{quote} Just experiment my friend and try out different range bars to se which works best for you and the sped you want to trade at, the larger the range bar setting the slower the chart moves, guess you could think of it the same as a "higher timeframe" although of course its not as there is no "time" element to range bars... It all depends on personal choice but as a rough guide I would say 5 on forex charts and 7 to 10 on DAX and DOW, maybe 7 on JPY pairs. It all depends on the volatility of whatever you're trading and personal choice on the...

{quote} Yes keep it simple is the key it can only go up or down , simple choice to make. It always amazes me how complicated traders can make such a simple choice?? Find it hard to believe your platform hasn't got a standard CCI either??? Doesn't have to be a histogram like the one I use but you should have a alternative line drawn one as standard indicator. Its actual title is Commodity Channel Index... Not a good day for trading as most of Europe on a Bank Holiday and without the money boys in town theres not much to trade..Should be OK when the...

{quote} P.S. When I try to create a Range Chart using 5 for Range and Time Frame I get a alert message that tells me that "5 is a MetaTrader4 Reserve Number and to choose a different number....Exiting" If I proceed anyways...it looks like it works and opens an offline 5 {image} {image}

Hi guys, i'd like to ask for kindly help with the range bars. problem 1) the same as described by hards. Any solution? {quote} Problem 2) offline charts stay offline, no refresh helps, no new candles, nothing ,... I use closing candle time indicator, that simply goes to MINUS values (showing the candle should close eg. 5 minutes ago), but nothing happens. any idea what is wrong? thank you Maros

{quote} Hi Oldtimer Great to see you're still around and doing well too. On the subject of the 1 min or higher timeframe argument , I think you should give these old range bars run out as you can slow it down to whatever speed you're comfortable with by increasing the range bar size. Heres a 10 tick range bar chart on your old favourite GBPUSD..... {image} Just take each 10lwma colour change after the market opens , and away you go....Exit when it changes back again.. You could even try a 20 tick chart.... Catch you later Dave....

{quote} Hi Old Friend , how are you doing?? Yes that looks fine apart from a couple of things to mention. For me I have to times all my inputs by 10 so if I want a 13 tick range bar chart then I have to input 130. Guess that will depend on your broker settings. I then label it 130 by inputting it into the 2nd input "OutputTimeFrame" = 130, so that I can easily find the new offline chart I want and also it labels the charts for me so when I have several different range bar settings open I know which is which... {image} Hope that makes sense???

{quote} That field is only for giving your offline chart a title for you to find it so use whatever you like that makes sense to you so that you can find the chart easily when you open the offline charts. The second point I am guessing is because you are trying to open a DAX chart and the DAX market is not open today as its a Bank Hoiliday in most of Europe, should be OK on a normal trading day.... Try opening a forex pair off line chart as that should be working today all be it very slow at the moment again because theres no banks trading hence...
