I'd think that on a higher timeframe such as H4 or D1 that 100 candles should be sufficient to determine the sustained trend in place. 100 candles are overkill on a weekly graph for instance, let alone a monthly to be honest, to me! That having been said, I have to admit that I don't know the intricacies of Jacko's system that he prescribes, but out of mine own two eyes, 100 bars on a time period seems like lots. Your mileage will vary of course needing to throw coins into the coinstar here.Originally Posted by ;
