Volatility Expansion Paintbar v0.1

The paintbar is like a second-cousin to the variants of ttmsqueeze that you can find all over the net. The two main things the paintbar tries to identify are:

Signs that we are coming out of a contraction phase. Bollinger Bands must be narrow but widening. The Choppiness Index (an estimation of the [...]

How I Have Been Selecting Trades, Lately

Written by Richard

I wanted to show you how I’ve been selecting trades the last few weeks. It’s a multi-step process. The paintbars alert me to possible entries on my lowest level charts. Then, if I like what I see, I go from the top down and make sure all my higher-level charts agree. [...]

QuoteTracker is an outstanding charting program that I use. It’s got a freeware version with a few limitations and ads, and the full version is free to holders of a funded ($2k) TD Ameritrade account (which I also have). Without that, it’s only $7/month or $60/year. QT is a charting package only, [...]
