Why do people use Volume, Range and Tic charts?

There is another one CCI. It does wonders on volume charts. I have been using it for over 2 years now.

 

I've played with the CCI but for what I use it is too erratic. If you are successful using it with the CVB charts . . . GREAT!!

The object is to find a single indicator one is comfortable with to use along side price. Any more than a single indicator and confusion has a tendency to set it.

 

Totally agree. Single indicator along with price action is pretty much all one needs.

What I also use, once I get a signal for a trade, is DOM (market depth) along with T&S for more precise entry decisions and sometimes reversal decisions.

 

Yes, I have also dropped the CCI in favour of the TSI (ergodic)

hi, anyone have it for esignal ?

cheers

 

No guarantees but this is what someone sent me for my ERG in eSignal.

cheers, I will try it out

Synatx error:

Sorry Razor, I will ask some of my buds whether any of them have a version for eSignal tonight in an email.
