Thx ChannelTrader,
The thread does seem to relate to my issue, at least in that other people have had Sleep mode not staying asleep (dating back years ago). The suggestions offered did not fix the issue for me.
It's a virus I tell you ... and Microsoft has been a major "Typhoid Mary" spreader of the sickness.
In my opinion the big problem is our acceptance and adoption of a failed digital technology that has not been mastered. The fact that computers don't always operate exactly the same way that they did the last time they were used is telling to me. The fact that they must be turned OFF then turned back ON to correct things that inexplicably go wrong is just one consequence of the good but imperfect systems that are being used to control just about everything today...
Explanation of a very short term methodology -
Enter using Buy-Stop brackets placed at the high of a completed Signal Bar.
The idea is that price must move up in the proper direction to catch a fill but will not fill if price drops.
Signal Bars are negative and high-lighted with lime outlines when an oversold stochastic is turning up...(created with paint bars)
Issue #2 - Not solved after all ...
My machine is back to Sleep mode not staying asleep for more than a couple seconds.
Although I temporarily "fixed" it yesterday by changing the Power Options, it seems Windows
has a mind of it's own and reset something for it's own purposes.
Issue #2 - solved . . . .
2) Win 7 ... Are there "timer" adjustments to Sleep mode so it remains asleep?

Please help...2 computers...2 OS...2 how-do-I questions
1) Win 10 ... can I turn off the sign in screen? (This might be called the Lock screen?)
I'd like the machine to start-up after pressing the power button without having
to type in my pin (my 2 Win 7 machines are set up this way)
2) Win 7 ... Are there "timer" adjustments to Sleep mode so it remains asleep?
For the past month or so when I select Start/Sleep it will go to sleep but restarts itself after
a few seconds...It used to stay in Sleep mode until I pressed the left mouse button or any key.
Note that I have not made changes to the Win 7 machine (that I know of) but it seems I've often seen issues after Automatic Restore Points are created or Windows Update downloads Critical Updates.
A 2B Dragon double bottom reversal price pattern...
Many technical directional clues on the daily and weekly ...
PAINT-BARS on indicators to generate SIGNAL-BARS on price. When a candlestick has
BOTH a negative red body AND Lime outline it is a SIGNAL-BAR
I've created a paintbar that's set to place a thicker LIME highlight on the Slow Stochastic line
whenever it's less than 22 and rising... AND it also is set to highlight the price's candle outline...
Thx Zorax,
I changed that setting from 100% to 125% and got the Taskbar font bigger and I can now at least read the Time & Date.
But it seems all title bars and menus got smaller...
Oh well, small sacrifices must be made to enjoy the advanced features provided by 10 over 7...
(I'll let you know when I find any I use***)
***Although it's cool that multi-monitor users can have different sizes/settings applied to different screens without changing their resolution sizes, I think that it's a consequence of some other design changes in Win 10 rather than an intentional included feature.
Stochastic Signals on a longer term chart ...
How much drawdown are you willing to withstand for bigger gains?
This example is using completed Signal bars to place entry orders at the bar low...
Note the longer term 128 ticks-per-bar chart ...
Eventually all three Signal bar entries became profitable but all three could have
become unprofitable if the market wasn't turning up.
Ya still have to guess direction correctly.
