Haha, classic Python! I also enjoy Livia's (wife of emperor Caesar Augustus) speech to the bewildered gladiators in the BBC TV series I Claudius -- how Sian Phillips kept a straight face delivering these lines is beyond me. Her performance runs from ...

Indeed...... here it is.

Complex Trend Detector - Indicator for MT4

Sorry, but these claims are almost certainly complete nonsense. Flatliner appears to be nothing more than a repackaged version of the Zigzag indicator that is supplied by MetaQuotes. To prove this, I've written an indicator that simply performs an ...

Complex Trend Detector - Indicator for MT4

Houston, we have a problem: Indeed it does. Save your money, folks. At last we have proof that forex isn't rocket science. ______________________________ Here is an easy, objective way of checking the extent to which any indicator repaints: (note: ...

Complex Trend Detector - Indicator for MT4

Sorry, this is not possible, the indicator plots wingdings symbols only. I intentionally avoided using vertical lines, because when you get multiple news events occurring at the same time, the lines plot over top of each other, allowing you to see ...

Sorry no there isn't, but looks like you've found an alternative solution anyway,

ALERT set to go off every 5 minutes

I discovered your thread just now. Indeed, these are excellent patterns to exploit. FWIW I posted some similar observations (with explanations) here.

Don't know if this is helpful to you. It's a standalone EXE file that runs independently of MT4, hence it uses your computer's clock to obtain the time, rather than MT4's candle start times. It plays any WAV file that you nominate, X minutes (or ...

ALERT set to go off every 5 minutes

As Churchill once said "you can't take sides against arithmetic". Anybody with a basic knowledge of probability math can easily verify the calculation I gave. People win the lottery against almost impossible odds. But that doesn't make the ...

5% risk per trade?

Many thanks for sharing. For me personally it's not the indicator calculation or result, but the data source that's critical. If an indicator's values are sourced from a MT4 broker's OHLCV, then this data (being derived from price) necessarily lags ...

I will reply here, so that I don't further disrupt Torontoman's thread, where the topic is trend trading rather than roulette. I'm afraid I must respectfully disagree once again. What I'm saying is that no matter what strategy you use, i.e. ...

Respectfully disagree with both you and HiddenGap; unless some physical bias (unbalanced wheel, the way croupier releases the ball, etc) exists, all spins are independent, random events, and past streaks are predictively meaningless; the house edge ...

Never Go Against the Trend?

Many thanks for your reply. I was a student of Jarratt Davis for 2 years, hence I'm familiar with the effects that various economic measures, including central bank policy, can have on exchange rates. If the data provided by bankersfx.com is bona ...

Sorry, I wasn't sure because some traders use terms lock/unlock to describe hedging/unhedging orders (e.g. here).

what is the best way to determine if a trade is hedged?

I do all my coding using Metaeditor/compiler build 509, hence I'm not familiar with some of the syntax that you're using. For example, I don't know exactly what ChartID() does. Also I'm not certain what you're trying to achieve; and it's difficult ...

what is the best way to determine if a trade is hedged?

@JayRai: nice thread, many thanks for sharing. Sadly there are a lot of retail traders who've been scammed, and their comments reflect their bitter experience. All trading forums seem to have their share of trolls, naysayers, blowhards ...
