Ive heard of vendors faking charts but have never seen one till a while back, reason Im posting this is never believe what you hear or see hindsight. Year or so back @Big Mike briefly mentioned in a thread of this. Now a days I dont surf around much but I ran across a video and watched others by same poster where this trader talked about why he took trades etc all of his markers were listed so at first glance I said "WOW" how is he doing this? whats his read? after so many more videos and reading on a site I called b/s no one can trade this well. So my point is New traders unless you see it live dont believe markers etc unless there posted live
In conclusion I thought to myself afterwards how many people actually believe him? posting my first time attempt at cheating a chart and yes I left mistakes just because this was a test for me and no Im not a computer guy but if I was I'd be a AMAZING trader
Well I busted you in less than a minute ...looking at that chart. I know nothing about the Ninja trading platform but looking at the X-Axis I would expect each major tick should be an equal time interval
10:03:03 to 10:17:16 = 00:14:13
12:45:31 to 13:23:37 = 00:38:06
I am sure there are other aspects of the chart that stand out but the time interval was rather obvious to me.
I would not give up your day job to be a chart faker
Bottom line is to make your own charts and not depend on the charts of another...first you learn more by making your own charts and second you have the confidence that at least you are making decisions on good information
It's not a time chart, it's a tick chart. Ticks do not form at an "equal time interval". It depends on the trading volume. Look at the Globex session times to see this more clearly.
What Rad faked is the trade markers, the blue and magenta arrows. The rest is legit. I think he can still consider quitting his day job to be a chart faker!
Here's a popular vendor's "Live Demo" I thought was fun to watch... note the time of day on the PC system clock (lower right corner), the time stamps in the Time and Sales window, and the Account name in the DOM (Replay 101)....
