Yep....nothing beats a 10 x 10 graph paper and a #2 pencil.

Where do you buy 10 based graph paper? I can't find it anywhere, it's all 8.

I think I'll start using a wheelbarrow in the atomic age. I am very happy that microprocessors can spit out a chart in a fraction of a second.

russ while it is a whole lot faster and easier , there is some connection that occurs from drawing your own charts by hand.

Dharma,

 

Well I can appreciate what is being said about hand drawing charts and getting a feel for it, but as far a using my oscillator there is no advantage to it, the trend is either there or it is not, if it is there I have to try and validate it on multiple time frames which the software lets me do, drawing by hand would not allow comparing multiple time frames.
