Five months late and you probably already know the answer to this... But here it is anyway... As soon as you open a new chart or start up Ensign with charts already there... It backfills automatically! But... there is usually about 5 minutes of missing data (the last 5 minutes)... You can refresh this chart within the next 5 minutes or so and it will fill in. Presto! You now have your chart(s)... Each time frame fills in by itself which is kind of strange compared to QT... You have to refresh each chart too to get the missing backfill...
One of the better known pros using Ensign is Buffy. I get a kick out of following the evolution of her charts. Heres the latest version.
Must be something wrong with my computer. If I hit the little button in the lower right, it does a terrible job of maximizing the pic? Or was this to show Buffy uses 82 time frames, 600 colors and 3 million indicators?... You do have to admit, those are some pretty looking charts...
Yeah, the first time I saw them I thought I was having an acid flashback. They seem to work for her however.
Look pal, I could care less if you believe me or not. Shes a moderator for the Ensign chat room and has been around for years. Pretty easy to check her out if youre really interested.
Question: If you run Ensign w/ IB feed, will charts using the IB symbol be backfilled with DTN/IQ data? or do you need to use a different symbol/chart for that? Thanks
Did not mean to be offensive. My point is that I have seen so many chat room gurus over the years (Buffy and the rest of the Dacharts/ensign bunch included) and based on what I have seen I have to conclude that vast majority of them are not actually profitable/consistent/professional traders themselves. I have actually caught many of them cheating on their real time calls, some cases are funny to the extreme. Regarding Buffy I remember her at some point refusing to make real time calls stating all the usual excueses. Whether she can walk the walk or not I do not know and I do not make any allegations. However I have not seen any evidence that she can so I have to assume that she is part of the majority. Btw. I have picked some things from Dacharts that have influenced my trading a lot. This does not include Buffy's stuff though (don't like indicators much). Trent Btw. I think I was about the first to question Harristech or whatever his nick was and we all saw how that ended
So without evidence we have to assume... hmm... interesting... Assuming any belief can be quite a bummer... Assume To take for granted without proof
