View Poll Results: Whic indicator paints the bars best
There is a multitude of paint bar study indicators on this forum. One of the more popular is the _Zeller_Sharkin pictured below with a setting of 2 which some submit is good at predicting a turn in direction.
The other two are modifications of indicators which are available on futures.io (formerly BMT), but have no paint bar parameter.
So, let's take a vote. Of the three, which one would you want to use based on these pictures, recognizing you don't have the access to "test" the other two.

Due to time constraints, please do not PM me if your question can be resolved or answered on the forum.
Need help? 1) Stop changing things. No new indicators, charts, or methods. Be consistent with what is in front of you first. 2) Start a journal and post to it daily with the trades you made to show your strengths and weaknesses. 3) Set goals for yourself to reach daily. Make them about how you trade, not how much money you make. 4) Accept responsibility for your actions. Stop looking elsewhere to explain away poor performance. 5) Where to start as a trader? Watch this webinar and read this thread for hundreds of questions and answers. 6) Help using the forum? Watch this video to learn general tips on using the site.

your paint bar 3 even beats my paint bar, which is more designed for ES 4 range charts. also like # 2, because there're no gray bars. for me trend is like price. it either goes up or down, no neutral.
Just had an epiphany about paint bar studies. I don't need them. I guess that's because I've never found any that give me enough confidence to trust them in a trading decision. I always have a doubt lingering in the back of my mind.
Having said that, I reserve the right to change my mind, but for now, I'm using white candles with black outlines. I hope the withdrawal won't be too painful to make me relapse to the "paint" for a fix.
