Hi Eric,

I have really enjoyed going through your trading journal. Ijust have one question. I tried using the three bar reversal indicator that you had posted earlier. After downloading it in to my indicator box, I can not seem to see any patterns at all painted on the charts. Could you please let me know how I can fix this.

Thanks,
-Keep

Check your NT Log, maybe something like "Error on calling the '"OnBarUpdate' ....".
You should limit the number of bars of your chart (<CTRL-F> bars back-> 500 for ex.).

The pattern should appear if you refresh your chart . I dont use the pattern feature of the 3 bar reversal paint bars . What I get from them is a visualization of when a bar closes above the prior bars high (CHPH) or closes below the prior bars low (CLPL) . These are significant and show me price commitment .

And thanks , I'm glad you enjoy the journal .

Hi Sam.

This is what it chows in my log report (please see attached). My bars were also set to 500 or less. On my charts I do have other indicators, including SMI2 with paintbar set to true. I tried to set it to false, but made no difference.

Appreciate any suggestions you may have.

Thanks

I just tried it on Range bars and it worked. But, it does not work on tick charts.
