goldensight is on a distinguished road
About two years ago I was playing around with metatrader and found that when you do the following you can see some of the pin bars on your chart.......click on properties and then click on colors and then change the bar up to the color blue and the bar down to the color blue and then click ok you will have gold colored pin bars that "pop". You will not get the same effect if you change the bull candles and bear candles to blue, but if you first change the up bar and down bar using bar charts and after clicking ok you can then click on candlesticks and they will show up there. However these gold pin bars pop out best on bar charts. If you review your charts after changing the color scheme you will find that it does not show all of the pin bars but rather only a percentage of them but I thought I would share this in case anyone wants to use it for a quick at a glance visual for quickly viewing some of the pin bars that occur on price charts. On the weekly charts these gold highlighted pin bars show up rarely, on the daily bars occasionally, on the 4 hour bars often, and on the one hour bars frequently. cheers
