COMPARE range bars are very valuable to an active trader "not for everyone" and not all platforms have the ability to plot range bars. if your not looking at them maybe you should give it a try. range bars help make sense of price movement whereas time bars disguise whats actually happening with price movement.
Toothpicks, dental floss, cupcake sprinkles, whip cream lines, butter smear lines... and yet no one knows the future or present market direction movement. It's all just vague, generalized, hindsight circumstances.
To each their own, range bars disguise what is happening in time. 1 minute TD Buy SetUp9 on AVWAP level yesterday:-
From my perspective, using Range Bars without Volume is like using a Point & Figure chart. As you said, not for everyone. Certainly not for intraday trading! Maybe investments. Feel free to go berserk that I posted a Daily P&F with default box settings to make my point.
Are your trading books and courses helping you decipher the market... the only person truly getting rich are the salespeople and vendors, and social media personalities. I highly doubt any of those amateur clown buyers are truly better off. The daily intraday S&P is my specialty. Try to understand upwards forces colliding with downwards forces. So you'll loosely, generally, know when to strike and close. Just one main trade per day. Observe the Nasdaq, Dow and S&P charts. The devil are in the details.
