Trend line Differences

Post by dougrkyle » Sun Jan 26, 2020 5:29 pm

Please review the Bookmap Trend line and the SC trend line marked on Fridays ES trading.  As you will see that both fixed points are set to the same location on each chart but the BM chart does not represent the price action reaction to the trend line.  Is there a reason for this?  Are trend lines useless on BM due to scale?

hi dougrkyle,
the upper chart seems to be volume-normalized so candles' real bodies are equal but the timeline is wrinkled.
I did my best to mark hours in the upper chart (see the bottom of my screenchot) and hour intervals do not look equal.
Bookmap has equal intervals. So the charts cannot be compared.
