THE JOY OF CANDLESTICK TRADING - a Learning Experience

To [B]Ray_1[/B] and [B]Blaiserboy[/B]

This matter requires a comprehensive answer and I will give you guidance.
Although Blaiserboy seems to have the solution to it already.

Firstly, go to page 31 of this thread for a fair amount of detail on setting up Dealbook. Here several posters pioneered the setting up and VulcanClassic discovered that the program eventually quits after 84 charts are loaded!

Next, I give you the following hyperlink that is a set of tuition videos for Dealbook :

[B]Now my own personal take :[/B]

I trade the 4 majors plus 2 pairs useful in my time zone. (AUD/USD + AUD/JPY). That is 6 pairs.

I trade the timeframes 20, 25, 30, 35 mins…1 hour.
That is 9 timeframes.

In addition, I have 6 charts of 5 minute KC . (one for each pair).
In addition, I have 6 charts of 5 minute Starc band . (one for each pair).
That is 12 short term charts.

[B]How do I do all this?[/B]

[U]Simple - clone your workspaces[/U], like Blaiserboy did and then edit them - that is, label them. (all right click work with the mouse).

I have one workspace for the 5 minute Keltner charts.
I have one workspace for the 5 minute Starc bands.

For each of the majors, I have 2 workspaces - A and B (8 workspaces altogether).
For the useful pairs I have 1 workspace each (2 workspaces total).

That is a total of 12 workspaces altogether.
[U]
Setting out on the workspaces :[/U]

Now I have all 6 charts of 5 minute KC (one for each pair), on the 5 minute Keltner workspace (6 small charts - 6 pairs)
and I have all 6 charts of 5 minute Starc band . (one for each pair), on the 5 minute Starc workspace (6 small charts - 6 pairs).

As I said, my majors get 2 workspaces each : (8 workspaces total)

Workspace A gets 4 timeframes. (4 small charts).
Workspace B gets the 5 remaining timeframes. (5 small charts).

As I said, my useful pairs get one workspace each and on that workspace are 4 charts each. (4 small charts).

majors charts… = 36
5 min charts…= 12
useful pairs charts = 8

[B]Grand totals :[/B]

charts… = 56
pairs… = 6
timeframes… = 9
workspaces. = 12

I have found this setting out to be ideal.
