periodcon indicator — Hi Mason You might be interested in the "periodcon" indicator, which I notice now incorporates a TimeShift facility - not sure if it achieves exactly what you want, but see posts #5, 8 and 9 here: url David

NEW!! - Candle Aggregation indicator

I've just tried out the TimeShift option. It looks like you can adjust this by simply editing the periodcon indicator in the base chart (H1 in my previous example), and after changing the TimeShift value, immediately you re-visit the synthetic (H2) ...

2 HR Time Period

Hi Rishi As far as I can tell, ‘periodcon.mq4’ supplied by Samuri is actually a later version (v 1.5) of the same indicator in soso_betons’ link (v 1.4). Version 1.5 apparently has a ‘time shift’ option. According to the notes: “Added TimeShift ...

I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with Team Speak 2. I did a Google and found a product that allows teleconferencing here: url Also did a Google on "NewStrike" but couldn't find anything that's meaningfully related. I need more information, preferably ...

Hi Fiona Sorry, my last post was perhaps confusing. When I said that “The FFcal.EXE application will happily look for the news.csv file in any folder…” I perhaps should have said “The FFcal.EXE application will happily look for, or create, the ...

Hi Fiona Mike is correct, in that you need to change the <broker folder name> in c:\program files\<broker folder name>\experts\files\news.csv to reflect where your MT4 has been installed. Mine works OK regardless of whether I type uppercase or ...

I agree, and would take this further. Psychology shouldn’t be an issue. The Blackjack pros of the 1980’s knew that counting cards gave them, at best, a 0.5% edge over the house, and any lapse in discipline (i.e. rigidly following their gameplay ...

Something most traders miss... (psychology)

I agree. There needs to be some TA-based or statistical justification for each "component" trade. David

Real Grail in Money Management

Hi FXP Putting an EMA(52) on a M15 chart will approximate a EMA(13) on an H1 chart, because 52 x 15 mins = 13 x 60 mins. The result will not be exact, because the M15 chart contains intermediate data points that are being included in the ...

Multi time frame moving average question

Ferrufx, this is an awesome idea. I believe it could be implemented, although probably not easily. As far as I know (and I’m not a very experienced MQL4 programmer), the histories that MT4 keeps (in folders underneath c:\program files\metatrader ...

Peacelover, you are almost there! All you need to do is load the next two weeks data (i.e. 6-12 May, and 13-18 May) into the History database. See the second paragraph of my previous post (#51) to Forwarder. In your second screenshot, the second ...

Peacelover, thanks for the feedback. Forwarder, FerruFx is exactly correct. The Plot_News system comes pre-loaded with news events between 1 Jan 2007 and 5 May 2007. Additional news needs to downloaded from the FF calendar. Because the FF calendar ...
