As I browsing the APEX YouTube Channel today I was in search of any information in relation to trading CL just to watch something as I was eating lunch. I came across a few videos about CL and I noticed that on those particular videos that the tick car settings of the CL were 6 ticks.
Now for some odd reason I just now realized that I have been trading CL on 6 ticks bars. I did not do it on purpose. I had set up my charts and just assumed that everything was set up properly in each of the templates.(Which was foolish for me and will never happen again) But to my surprise I have been doing quite well.
But I just wanted to know why did you decide to change the settings of the CL from 6 to 12?
This is no dispute or against your decision but more of a student raising his or her hand in class just wanting to know why.

Now granted there is a lot of chop in the CL when looking at the 6 tick. But for one who is still learning how to trade momentum scalps the Elite MVP Reversal would have been nice on the 6 tick whereas on the 12 tick it was purely momentum scalps.
And no I am not doing this to avoid learning momentum scalps. This is just pure learning and understanding for me. That’s all!
Thanks!
