Bars pattern
Forecasting3 points to clickCopies a run of past bars and overlays them somewhere else.
What it looks like
The numbered dots are where you click. Once drawn, you can grab those dots and move them.
How to draw it
Choose the range of bars to copy, then click where to place them; the real bars appear as a translucent overlay.
When to use it
It is for seeing by eye whether then and now resemble each other — resemblance is not the same outcome.
In SQMATE
What you draw stays
Lines you draw are saved to that symbol's notebook. Open the symbol again and they are still there.
Editable afterwards
Grab the points to move them, and change colour, width and line style. Undo works too.
Shares as drawn
