Keyser, first you must create a new window by opening the Navigator (press Ctrl-N) and dragging a sub-window-type indicator, like Average True Range, onto your chart. Then change the color of that indicator to "None", which makes it invisible. Then ...

RedRobin, IMHO the points you made are valid, and you might well have helped readers become better traders. I was just trying to add different perspectives in answering the question "why do 95% (or whatever the number is) fail?" Personally, I ...

Why 95% Of All Traders Fail

Hi Kent, I'd already picked up the fact that 'eCount' needed to be changed to 'i' in the check that sets 'FLAG_FutureFFEventFound' to TRUE. I don't think it's necessary to pass 'FLAG_FutureFFEventFound' by reference. All I did was simply make it ...

Joko, Keyser, The answers to both of your questions are in the instructions in post #377, but I'll repeat it here: Joko: the number in the square brackets is the number of minutes until the news event occurs. It will count down toward zero, every ...

Hi Joko, I think you're confusing 'Window' and 'Corner'. There is no Corner option. I tried to implement it, but it was too difficult getting all of the labels to align correctly. Use xStart and yStart to position the text anywhere you wish in the ...

Why 95% Of All Traders Fail

Why 95% of traders fail — I assume that the 95% figure (or whatever it is) is the result of studying broker's client account records. Well, obviously, nobody quits while they're ahead. Therefore broker records will inevitably show that ...

MerlinBrasil and Entropy, thanks for the feedback. Joko, Yes, the programmer at TSD has obviously spent a massive amount of time developing his indicator. It not only displays news, but also international time clocks, spread & swap data, currency ...

Keyser, the vertical lines could be added as an option. However, they will hide the upper and lower wicks of the candles (even if you set Chart Foreground on, the wicks are still difficult to see). The text alongside creates an additional problem. ...

Sed, place the parent indicator in its own window, and set its color to None, so that it's invisble. Then open the Navigator, drag the MA indicator into the same window, and set "Apply to" to "Last indicator's data". David
