Thanks. That's good to know. But I'm presently using software that allows sub-one-minute charting, so I'm okay for now.
No, I don't move in such lofty circles. But I'm surprised by your report that that none of the institutional trading firms you visited saw fit to use sub-one-minute charts to finesse entries. At least to the extent that they use charts to time entries. Interesting.
If EasySignal ever ditched the ability to chart on one-second, I would ditch them in a heartbeat. I NEEEEEEED it! As to what the alleged prose use, WTF do THEY know? Are THEY struggling to supplement paltry Social Security and corporate retirement all on their own, with barely a figurative trading pot to piss in? No! Those pussies have huge infrastructures and research departments (that's what they call insider knowledge) and junior G-Man coders to fetch their code coffee. If I showed them what I do they are so boundhide by tradition that they would think it was just entertaining squiggly lines. No! The forefront, the avante garde, the ne-plus-ultra of trading is the exclusive realm of the lone-wolf mad-dog solitary independent trader. Personally, I think it helps to be unwashed, smelly and in your week-old underwear to trade well. Their prissy preppy boy dress codes are a horrible impediment to trading success.
Me too. I use a 1.5 point Range chart every day. In some instances, that 1.5 point can happen in less than a minute, sometimes in 1 second.
Bien sur. The market don't lollygag around. It turns on a dime at all S/R. But first ya gotta know where that is to reckonnize it. Mais, "Ne reviens pas un chat qui dort." Just asking the question gives something away. That is why I supported you, because now everyone will know one second is a joke. It must be, if Professor Doaks advocates it: "Doaks must get awful sore strokin' it to a one-second beat.".
I am a mister of massdirection. The truth, FWIW, is that I spend most of my screen time glued to a one-second chart that has all the relevant S/R near the current price displayed on it. Plus four critical market internals arrayed below it. If I couldn't chart one second I would be blind, because I can't see all the shit I want to see on a one-minute chart. As backup situational awareness, I have three one minute charts running, each showing pieces of what the one second shows.
