Correction: Bank Holidays — Correction to my previous post Looks like Bank Holidays are now included in FF calendar as "non-economic" (no impact) events. FFcal.EXE is only capable of grabbing Low, Medium or High impact events. I will address ...

Re Indicators

@ijcrump: The legend is nothing more than text added manually onto the chart. There are only 8 candle types, it doesn't take long before the colors (which you can change, anyway) become second nature. @errich fx: Cobra is correct, hopefully it is ...

Gaston, thanks once again for answering my questions. I'd previously been misinformed by other sources, who'd suggested that it was sheer weight of number (of participants) that caused major reversals. Thanks for correcting my view about the effect ...

Thanks, FXSurfer. As best as I can recall, I don't think this is the post, but I agree that it's a good one, and with a very similar message.

Thanks again for your comprehensive reply — Gaston, thanks again for your comprehensive reply. Given that I must time my entries and exits profitably, I assume that what you mean is that one must not only know who these heavyweights are, but ...

Leon, if 'the ability to read PA' is too broad, then I guess you're looking for methodological specifics. Confluences are just one of many possible approaches.

Gaston, many thanks for the insightful response. My question: is it possible to know when these heavyweight participants are 'making a difference' (or even even better, when they are about to drive price in a certain direction), purely by looking at ...

Yes, I also agree **. It's curious how many folk believe that perfect answers lie behind mystery, abstract sophistication, hidden codes, age-old secret formulae, 'guruspeak', and the like. But the slow striptease seldom, if ever, leads to a naked ...

Witkot, the links posted by Ronyn are good. There's also other material at the mql4.com site that's helpful, e.g. click on the 'Book' link for an MQL4 primer, and also use the search facility to find answers to questions on specific topics (usually ...

Two equally valid points of view? — If I may generalize, I think that there are folk who see trading as a right-brained 'discretionary' exercise, while others see it as more of a left-brained mechanical exercise. In other words, some see it as ...

Wow, thanks Cobra! The above is only version 1.0, and I'm planning on making plenty of enhancements to the indicator. The number of parameter settings will likely be increased, to allow more precise custom definition of each candle type. ...
