The prettiest chart

When I started trading too many years ago I was drawn to all the bells and whistles of various software providers, candles, and all those other kinds of fancy charts. I struggled to make a profit.

An experienced and profitable trader took me under his wing and told me to use line charts, plotted on the close of 60 second intervals. I've never looked back...KISS. Not for everyone, but works for me.

 

Sierra Chart.

 

This looks like some earthquake seismometer graph from Japan

 

My prettiest chart. Beauty is in the beholder.

 

I wasn't seeing the bars on there at first. Is that simply a moving average?

 

January 1998 issue of TASC, p57, "Smoothing Techniques for More Accurate Signals", by Tim Tillson.

 

I don't day trade but someone here was kind enough to tell me something similar: To just throw away all the indicators and stare at the price charts.... Not sure it works for me yet but much better than before.

 

I am relatively sure those smoother techniques are not more accurate.

 

Can anyone see how powerful this strategy really is on a 1 Hour Nadex binary expiration? Killing it at 99% success rate!
I just can't agree with a trader that says indicators are worthless. I think the individual makes an indicator useless.
