Any Paint experts ?
Is there a way to turn off this Alert pop-up when you "Save As" a PNG, JPEG, BMP or GIF?
I did find that the warning doesn't pop-up if you select TIFF
(from the "Save As Type" drop-down box in the dialog pop-up window.)
...Or...
is there a way to add TIFF to Paint's "Save As" selection menu?
RU kidding? A MS OS that's trouble free?
The reality is that Microsoft's Windows operating systems have been obsolete junk for many years...
MS is adept at stifling completion -- they don't allow it.
They either buy-out any "NEW better mouse trap" to keep it from developing and getting to market...
or they just kill it.
Practice Trades -- training the hands and mind
I have Gadwin's "print-screen" program installed on my machine.
It is set to capture a .jpeg or .PMG image of the window that's under the cursor. It will automatically
name all captured images and save them by date and time to a designated file of my choosing.
I use the following method to "train" my fingers and test my reaction time while also determining
what bracket order levels will work best in the current market pace conditions.
Make sure ON-CHART-TRADING is OFF before trying this...
You can see how fast the market is by comparing the time stamps on each chart...
and this was BEFORE the major markets were open.
Gadwin's PrintScreen allows you to add time stamps and-or add't text to your snapshots.
Note: I have an older version and the current free versions installed.. The newer version
does not have a one click "save window" option.
I does have a one click "save full screen" option and will also add a camera sound when it's used.
Trade-Mode Toolbar - just recently discovered it 's movable
... to the left, right, top or bottom of the chart.
Unless you run full screen , some of the items are not easily accessed on the fly
when you enable the horizontal mode. Note how much space it takes up in the vertical mode.
So I've sent in an email request to info@apexfutures.com in hopes they'll consider
some changes when they next upgrade ApexTrader
Chart template Titlebar & an indicator explanation...ApexTrader software.
The template name is shown in the tilebar for each chart you have open.
(Price Bihisto NaNaBB 15m TL)--(STOMacEMA)
I use some abbreviations to ID my collection of templates:
In the price pane there are two MACD Histograms (BiHisto) colored NavyNavy and BlueBlue (NaNaBB) .
Also shown are Vertical Time Lines auto-drawn every 15 minutes (m TL)
--
In the study are two stochastic indicators (STO) with MACD EMAs (MacEMA)
There's gold in them-thar Slingshots
The Mac Trend Sling
The subtle, little differences can make big differences...
Chart widths and time frame ticks-per-bar adjustments can help gauge changing "market pace"
...on a day to day basis AND throughout the current session you're trading...
I don't think watching volume is very useful when scalping the e-mini futures
compared to when you're scalping equities or ETF's.
The only pre-market prep I do is open my trade station
...then I look for price action and patterns...
(across multiple charts that show multiple time frames).
I'm a visual trader and have my favorite patterns:
...My trade station multi-monitor layout...
Read the Price/Action and Indicator patterns for good scalps
Left - 20 tick chart...price spikes up out of a down trend while MACD EMAs have stopped going down.
The dots on the main ema suggest that selling pressure has been slowing.
Stochastic has bottomed and is turning up.
Right - 36 tick chart...the histo slope has been moving up as price continued down (price-to-indicator divergence).
You can also see the stochastic 1-2 Punch pattern price-to-indicator divergence
The higher the time-frame, the more indicators lag...
Divergence is a leading Price/Action pattern, it's not an indicator per say.
The beginning of October shows when divergence patterns can hint at potential price reversals...
Where-as currently, the MACD indicator (EMAs) is showing the strong up trend
while the stochastic indicator is over bought - - -
but neither is giving hints as to when price will reverse.
...a hill of beans..."Maybe not today, but soon"
Price to Indicator DIVERGENCE...a LEADING indicator.
I'm enamored with divergence for giving hints of potential price reversals...It may not be 100% effective
nor 100% reliable but it has a much higher winning rate of predicting than any other that I know...
Even as these two charts show, divergence CAN show up across major differences in time frames simultaneously...
I use the longer time frame for anticipating potential reversals and the shorter for entering trades...
In this case divergence was good for about $100.
