Charting styles
« on: March 31, 2008, 02:40:52 PM »
Does anyone else here use only price bars (or candlesticks if you prefer) in their analysis?

I was taught OHLC price bars only - very rarely will I add volume to the mix in specific instances.

No indicators of any kind.  It works well for me.  I am a chart pattern trader only.  Patterns and targets in all time frames.

Everybody uses candle sticks here.  I find them easier to read.

Doc should be coming up with his tips and tricks on T/A soon.

Also volume is a top indicator, you always want to look at the volume before deciding on trading a stock.

I think it's easier to see what's happening with candlesticks.  To each his own I guess.
