I have been using Optuma for a number of years, but have had a break from trading over the last year or so. Therefore I decided that I needed to run through Optuma 101 to get back up to speed. However, My screens do not match Darren’s screens, and I have trouble following his lessons. I have also noticed that I can’t manipulate the Price Extension or Price Retracement bars as I once could (eg: moving the start point or end point).
I am not spending a lot of time on trading and I have a basic version of Optuma, but I’m having problems using it. Can someone provide me with advice on the current version and if I need to update?
Hi Peter,
Thanks for the note. The videos are a few years old but the vast majority of them should still be applicable to the current version. However, note that some of the tools and features I show may not be available in your Trader Services edition, hence the difference.
