Hi all,
I use a program downloaded from the net which allows you to take and either print or store screenshots as a jpg in a folder of your choice. I use CMS as one of my brokers and use this utility continually whenever I open a trade as a proof of what I did in case their server goes down and there is any argument, and it has helped my case a number of times because it shows all the information required such as time, pending orders, opened orders, current price, etc
In June of this year I began taking a screenshot on a daily basis of a close connected line 10 minute graph on the four majors as a historical record.
The screenshots are stored as jpg's, taken from a CMS chart showing the time down the bottom and the price down the right hand side.
I work mainly with cable, so I printed 3 months of the cable charts off, and took them with me when I went on holiday so that on a few of those rainy days when the fish weren't biting I could analyse them.
I did so, and during the analysis realised that I would have been far better taking the screenshots in "candlestick view" instead of "close connected line" view, as the "candlestick view" shows the spikes, and gives far more information regarding the strength of the movement etc. I have now began taking 2 screenshots daily of each major pair - one in "closed connected view" and one in "candlestick view"
Does anybody out there do the same? And if so I would dearly love to have the historical "candlestick screenshots" for cable and the euro, but especially cable for the last few months. Or alternatively, does anybody know if there is an archive anywhere of these that can be downloaded.
A 5, 10 0r 15 minute chart would do, but anything above this will not show me the spike information that I am looking for.
Power to your fingers to press the correct "buy" or "sell" button.
