Hello Trading Humble,
I am not having a go at you or pushing any agenda; I am trying to
understand what the chartists want for my own reasons
(if they are using charts in a way that I am not and it is
contributing to their trading success I want to know about it).
The problem is no-one can specify what it is they are after
(including screenshots).
Rakesh lists some studies; fair enough, you've definitely drawn some
empathy from me.
Without the facts, however, I can't decide either way, but I assume
Tomasz must have his reasons why he didn't implement the suggestions.
I read Joe's post of 03 #49871 but without a screenshot I can't
readily understand what he wants.
********************************************************************
Re your points.
I am an art lover.
I particularly like visionary art.
If you want graphics have a look at
http://iasos.com/artists/
but I am not looking for an art experience when I open AB.
I think it looks quite nice and it is visually pleasant while working
in it.
We have a choice of skins.
I have had a quick look at the Ensign site and I don't agree that the
chart quality is superior although the web page is more artistic.
Crispy can only be an issue of resolution or contrast.
Isn't the resolution the same for most of us (depending on computer
graphics card)?
How can another software package have superior resolution to Ami?
Would it show on my computer if it did?
Contrast comes down to the colours used; two adjacent lines look
different depending on the colours used or perspective.
How do we add perspective to 2D charts.
Anyway, once again 3D is arty but seldom functional in software.
Of course Ami does have 3D where it counts; in the optimised output.
Doesn't Ami have a full colour palette the equal of other software
and don't we have the option to change colour settings?
Ensign uses a lot of colour which looks *arty*, but does it have a
function other than entertainment?
I love pink, but I am not sure about it in my candlesticks.
I don't agree that the Ensign charts look any better than Ami's.
It can't be in the fonts, as they are standard.
Where is the difference?
Ensign appears to have some extra studies and drawing tools; are they
what people want?
If so why not put forward a well researched and referenced request
with screenshots.
Advertise it here and submit it to suggestions and I am sure you will
get a hearing.
Some of the fence sitters, like me, may even join in the chorus
asking Tomasz to implement them.
As for ease of use; how exactly is the way we use Ami's drawing tools
any different from other programs (point & click)?
As I said, I am looking to buy your arguments but no one has made a
tempting offer so far.
Regards,
BrianB2.
