Under line studies, right click, select customize, then add the rectangle tool.
Once you draw the rectangle, you can select solid fill or outline under its options.

Actualy i couldn t find the "solid fill" option, but i figure it out.

"draw object as backround" has to be turned off and
"chart on foreground" turned on. :)

thanks.

Nice trading Raw. I see your stacking also.
Never add to a loser, and when positive and havent reached the tp yet, stack away. It can get you crazy R:R

Some observations of raw's chart:

Don't hear and see, hear and feel =)

Can you see the difference between the momo that you trade and the momo that you take profit or ignore?

Studies used:
3 bar combination of growing/shrinking bodies.
Double Hooks as triangles (cone or pennant)

also notice the fast moves as momo and understand why dragon lines are where they are.

I don't really draw lines on my charts, I just see them; drawing lines also inhibits you from reconsidering your analysis based on new information.

Hey Mo,

I need time to examine your markups.

LIS, 0,50,100% fibs have always confused me. Which would explain some of the trades I've lost.

I can't seem to get out of this colour change momo mindset. Its as sophisticated as I can tollerate, but it works for me.

I"m just currently in this trade. Lines are drawn simply by colour change +momo+over/under. I just took profit. 10 pips, no stack.

Thanks for the chart. Its late, gotta get some zzzz...
