Pippi, you need to change the 'DisplayPrior' and/or 'DisplayNext' parameters to the number of news events you want displayed prior to the current time, and after the current time. These values control the number of text objects (as opposed to the ...

FFcal - Plot News indicator

By further experimentation, I discovered answers to some of my questions back in post #489: url Only events for the relevant pair are shown. For example, on EURUSD chart, only events affecting EUR or USD will be displayed. It displays only the ...

PJ, apart from the "Insert -> Text" and "Insert -> Text Label" facilities there's nothing that I know of that's available within MT4. However, these allow one line of text only, so you'd need to place several of them to get a 'paragraph' effect. ...

That's great, Ramy, glad to hear that you're up and running. Many thanks for sharing. David

FFcal - Plot News indicator

Hi Ramy, I'm really sorry, I don't know how to fix this. The software seems to run OK on about 98% of all Windows configurations, but for some reason that I don't understand, there must be some setting in your (and a few others') Windows platform ...

LTBF, no disrespect, but it's number of trades that determines experience, not number of posts. I've made over 1,000 posts here, but it doesn't mean that I'm an expert trader, or even very knowledgeable. In fact, quite the opposite. No doubt there ...

Hi Search1ng, I'm 47 and I live in New Zealand - does that matter? I've been studying forex for almost 3 years now, and I think I'm starting to reach the point where I know what I'm doing. Well, maybe. To be fair, I really only dabble in trading ...

Rookie Starting Up

Thanks, Joe, just wanted to assure you that there's no sarcasm in my tone, only curiosity. Averaging 13,000% p.a., even in test, is a bit of an eye-catcher. Of course much depends on how you size your positions, and also how frequently you trade ...

Increase account by +50% per month trading 2 pairs

Moral, the plan seems sound enough, but just wondering how you came up with the "+50% per month" figure in your post title. If you start with $10,000, and compound it at 50% per month, you'll have almost $1.3 million after 12 months. Keep in mind ...

Increase account by +50% per month trading 2 pairs

My 2c for whatever it might be worth — Hi Trini, IMHO your approach is basically sound. If you have a greater than 50% win rate on a 1:1 RR trade (i.e. 10 pips return for 10 pips risk), then you will come out ahead. But don't forget to factor ...

Brilliant post, Bill. Spot on! The part I highlighted is understood by very few traders, including 'professionals'. Same applies to the impact of spread, it is underestimated by many folk. David

MM and Martingale system

Oscillators — Niandra, all indicators are derived from price. Oscillators measure rate of change of price, and decelerations in price show up as oscillator divergences, simply because of the way the oscillators are calculated. In the attached ...

Which indicator works best for divergence?

J84, there are folk who post here claiming ROI of anything from 5% to 20% per month, consistently. Of course it's anybody's guess as to whether they're telling the truth. If they are, then compounding 10% per month will return > 200% annually. Let's ...

I have had enough :

Dex, my understanding is that oscillators (RSI, Stochastic, Williams %R) all measure rate of change in price, and their underlying math reflects this (similar to first level differentials in calculus). Hence they all pick up accelerations and ...

Power of The Relative Strength Index

Hi Ricky, Number of posts means nothing, LOL. I'm really just an analyst/programmer who dabbles in forex trading. You'll find most of my posts in the 'Programming Discussion' and 'Rookie Discussion' areas. I've been studying the markets for about 7 ...
