WMV (Windows Media Video) was Microsoft’s proprietary video format popular in the late 2000s and early 2010s. Al Brooks’ course was originally released in this format for several reasons:
Don't use Windows Media Player. Download (VideoLAN). VLC has built-in codecs for old WMV files and allows you to zoom the video by 150% so you can actually see the price levels.
Why are traders still searching for these specific files?
This is the most important lesson from the WMV course. A bull bar is not always a buy signal. If that bull bar appears at the very top of a channel after a 20-bar rally, it is a "buy vacuum" or a trap. The WMV files drill this relentlessly: Never trade a bar; trade the context around the bar.
