I can not think of a more distracting way to set up a chart, but it is entertaining to see what's possible!

...a free gadget and a pic from our UK trip a few years back



@Fat Tails,

This background is it ... when the price is going sky-high then it is a Bull's moment, and when it is going down to the grass, then the Bears have it.

Could you share the pic in the background of the above chart ?

Unless you have a very specific taste, a google search for "stonehenge" and a click on the "Images" link on the left sidebar will provide you with more images like this than you can possible ever use

it can't possibly be the exact same pic....because I took that pic personally. But there are tons out there that look very similar....

Black has always tended to strain my eyes, but then again so has a bright white, so I chose a bit of a yellowish color that is perfect for my eyes.

I know a guy that goes to Baskin Robbins and orders Vanilla... go with what works for you...

I'm just a simple man trading a simple plan.

I found that having distinct objects in the background can be distracting, and a lot depends on the colors, but this background works for me ... I actually enjoy staring at the chart ... where I used to get bored and miss things... each to his own... use what works for you...
