CHARTS and INDICATOR CONFIGURATION
The charts on this blog are usually set up with Price over a single study...(link to indicator variations) Most of my charts combine a Stochastic (5,4,3) with a standard MACD in the study pane.
SESSION charts usually Time based candlesticks showing 1 to 10 days (1 hour per bar, 30 minute, 15 minute etc)..
TRADE charts are usually OHLC Tick based bars showing very short term periods of the current day.
LAYOUT - MULIPLE TIME FRAMESThe charts on this blog are usually set up with Price over a single study...(link to indicator variations) Most of my charts combine a Stochastic (5,4,3) with a standard MACD in the study pane.
Some include a TRIX histogram (6-period) and/or TRIX EMA (12-period) in with price.
DAILY charts usually show 2 to 3 months of current activity.SESSION charts usually Time based candlesticks showing 1 to 10 days (1 hour per bar, 30 minute, 15 minute etc)..
TRADE charts are usually OHLC Tick based bars showing very short term periods of the current day.
Combinations of daily, session and tick charts are always open within my ApexTrader trade station layouts.
With just a quick glance around my monitor array I can see long term through short term patterns
which helps me avoid "tunnel vision fatigue" from focusing only on my trade charts.
Tick charts of various periods are used for trading - also called T-Mode charts.
Daily chart and session charts are for perspective. They are often used as P/A "spotter" charts.
