Trading Forex is Hard

Sir. JensG i'd like to ask you what do you do in these 2 cases: 1) After your stop order gets triggered, if the price doesn't seem to move anytime soon and it ranges tight in that zone for like 30m-60m, do you look to exit from the trade around BE ...

Trading Forex is Hard

I've read a quote some time ago that stated something like: "The brain is an amazing machine that works perfectly all life and it stops working when you open a trade". I think this quote resemble a bit what i meant: after i open a trade i seem to ...

Indicator only draws one line

Sir. Jensg these are some precious pieces of informations that either beginner and experienced can benefit from. Thanks for taking the time to share it. Personally i find the exit much more difficult than entry point. My psychology acts a bit weird ...

Trading Forex is Hard

Ok i found the problem. You have to use If instead of While here because while makes the code go in loop: while(Low[i+4] < Low[i+3] && Low[i+4] > High[i+1]) This is the code corrected and it works to me: #property indicator_chart_window extern int ...

Indicator only draws one line

set "lineIndex" as int type and not string. Also try to declare it on the top of the code (outside of the functions). I saw some other things that may cause the issue but try to edit this first.

Indicator only draws one line

Yeah my bad, i copied from one of the indicator i made some time ago and posted on the forum (Horizontal Line-Ray) and edited quickly for this thread. I used the "win" variable to indicate on what subwindow the line should've be painted. In your ...

Indicator only draws one line

One of the way is to create global variables, with different names each time. Global variables allow the line to not be removed when you switch timeframe. You can write a function like this: void createHLine(int win, datetime datet, double price, ...

Indicator only draws one line

You can't really force a style of trading. If your character is more a day trader or swing trader and not fit for fast pace scalping you will just messing things up and end up losing. What i can suggest you is start your working routine earlier, ...

Fitting life around trading. Anyone change style to scalping?

It's not just a problem of fast order execution. Sometimes your order just can't be filled at the price you desire because the high liquidity pushes the price and you get filled at the 1st available point. It's the exact same issue when you put a SL ...

EA for straddle/bracket pending orders?

I can't be sure of this because i never had the chance to work in a bank or hedge fund but i believe they have access or they pay for some informations than normally retail traders don't. But again, even though those information could be a big help ...

NFP release and market reaction

Those kind of news are used as an excuse to move the market: Push it up or down or retrace the price to a key level they want. This explains why as soon as the clock hits the news' release time, it starts to move. How possible they could react to ...

NFP release and market reaction

Be sure to close the platform properly before turning off your PC. If you don't let mt4 close properly it doesn't save your last modifications. If you use an indicator to draw trendlines, you have to use global variables to avoid those to be deleted ...

Trend Lines disappear when changing TF

If i understood well the timezone you talking about (13.30 UTC-5 right?) I don't think it is necessarily true. It can happens sometimes due to the fact that European traders may be already out of the market and USA traders probably already made ...

Why 1:30 PM CBOE time is not a good time to trade
