A question to all the math geniuses out there and all the computer programming whizzes out there. Let's say that I want to pull up a 5 minute chart or a 15 minute chart. But I want to see this chart on this time frame in full for half a year. In either 5 minute or 15 minute time frame. In full, in full continuity,
How to do this? I COULD line up the largest HD TV's in a row and put charts up. But how to get a five minute or 15 minute chart in it's full continuity for six months.
How would or could a person do this?
This would involve chart dimensions and screen dimensions. Might have to go to the movie theatre level screen on this one?
This would require a very wide screen.
Any one have any answers or suggestions as to how to do this?
I think what's at hand would be chart dimensions and screen dimensions.
Who knows how to do this? Christ, I come from a biology background, if they were able to figure out DNA in the 40's, I am sure someone can figure this out. How to get a five minute chart up over six months in its entirety. No scrolling allowed.
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
To put it in your biological context:
Judging 6 months of market behavior by 5 min bars is just as futile as deducing an
elephant from the shape of the sole of its left foot.
But no need to worry.
You are just entering the next stage of a beginner's quest for the holy grail.
Typical stages are e.g.
- spinning the wheel, i.e. blind gambling just as your mood changes
- imitation of old sagas, fables and success stories (which one surprisingly can't reproduce)
- diagonal trading, i.e. hopping from method to method and asset to asset as soon as losses appear
- doubling the technical input (more CPU power, more monitors, more indicators, more brute force
to catch every tick of every market) each time you completely lose direction (called NASA stage
because the workplaces of these adepts typically look like space center control rooms)
I know from my own experience how hard this is to accept for beginners, but if you want to save
a lot of time and money, try the futures.io (formerly BMT) webinar links that @Big Mike, @Fat Tails and others suggested
to you on your other posts. Your chances to get a viable viewpoint are much better then than by
examining the latest indicator or last October's 15min, 5min or even ticks. These bars are today
what they were back then: mostly just plain noise.
We haven't really completely figured out DNA either, we can only map it. There's a lot of junk DNA we don't know much about. No one's been able to figure this out:
