Re: Three Line Break

The last few days I've been reading a lot of mail about three line breaks and 
renko.  I feel that three line breaks is much better than renko as it is the 
price action that gets you in and out of the market and not some random 
number that looked good in back testing (more on this later).  However, the 
reason I am writing is because I want to caution all of you if you are 
considering using three line breaks in real time/day trading.  Three line 
breaks work great on MS with end of day data; however, in real time I believe 
it miscalculates reversal bars at times and there are a few other problems 
that I've noticed with it in real time...especially with data on demand.  
Lynn from tech support and I have been working on having the development 
department at MS to recognize this.  Lynn, if you are reading this as I am 
sure you are I hope you can pass on to whoever needs to know that there is a 
lot of interest in three line breaks/point and figure/renko, and perhaps MS 
can distinguish itself from other softwares by improving/developing 
indicators and features that work better with these charting methods.  More 
on this later as I feel very strongly about the effectiveness of TLB 
charting.  -Sonny-
