Their range bars are "pure" unlike most other charting packages. I have their 6 page pdf explaining how they build range bars as apposed to how everyone else bastardises the correct method. I must say I am very pleased using their range bar charts specifically for forex and the indicators they have developed actually seem to work due to the smoothing effect. I have never been an indicator fan and as you know my pattern work is not ideal for paired assets.
Costs are relative to any additional gains as far as I am concerned and so far I think I am on the right side of that equation. Early days yet, only been with it for about a month. I should mention that the symbol menu only covers 19 pairs plus their special USDX but they are all the pairs I would consider monitoring and trading myself, more than enough for me.
I trade from the charts but also have the broker platform minimised in case of problems. The currenex broker platform is very low cpu demands. The currency strength charts gobble up the cpu more than 3 other charting progs I have open. The range bar charts are insignificant on cpu even with several workspaces stretched across multiple screens.
The 3 day trial is not long enough to digest everything and access to tutorials is restricted during the trial period. The company is split between software developer and educator/licensee.
Note to Ashraf, sorry we are at a tangent to your specific topic. I am not trying to promote this software, no financial interest whatsoever.
That is equivalent to automating feeding the spreadsheet.
Well I am honored that I found and realized all of that by myself.
But the problem is the broker interface. I am quite interested to give theirs a try but without a proper interface...hum.
