FXWW, I have uploaded the latest version of the News Downloader.exe in the ZIP file attached to post #1. It appears to be downloading news correctly on my desktop PC, my notebook PC and also my wife's PC (I have attached a sample output file, with ...

Plot News / Downloader version 4.00

According to wikipedia:  Stochastic oscillator was invented in the 1950s by George Lane, to predict price turning points by comparing the closing price of a security to its price range;  RSI by Welles Wilder in the 1970s, to chart the current and ...

The arrows, channels etc were generated by a proprietary system that I (naively) purchased when I first started FX trading. I gave up using this system many years ago; it was a waste of money. As best as I can remember, all the arrows do is ...

1000+ MT4 Indicators :)

Simon, Bredin apparently lives in NZ (as I do) but I've never actually attempted to contact him. It looks like his insanityindustries webpage has been disbanded. This must be a fairly recent event, as I managed to visit it successfully just a few ...

The Recent SR indicator is old, the MQ4 source code was written using MQL4 build 509, and hence it compiles with errors on the latest MT4 builds. However, if you delete the MQ4 file from your computer, the EX4 file should still run correctly (except ...

Recent SR indicator

Sorry, I'm unable to help. I code only using MQL4 build 509, and only EAs/indicators that are useful to me personally. I don't use MT5. You could try posting on one of the "I code for free" threads, and hopefully somebody will help you; or Google ...

Recent SR indicator

No problem, I'm glad you find it useful! I totally agree that YYYY/MM/DD is the most logical way to express dates, it makes life easy when it comes to sorting data chronologically. And exactly as you say, when you see 9/7/2017 it's not possible to ...

Modified, useful MQ4 utilities, indicators, and related tips

I can't comment on version 2_0, but the version of Recent SR that I originally developed (attached) still works correctly on my computer. See screenshot: image file Having said that, there might be certain parameter combos that cause some levels ...

Initially I downloaded Autohotkey for the purpose of developing some keyboard macros. Then, as I dug deeper, I found that it was actually a language that allowed development of simple applications, and I used it to rewrite my news downloader (here), ...

MT4 navigational tips and techniques

Some time ago I was thinking of buying a gaming keyboard for the same reason. Then I discovered Autohotkey, which allows you to remap virtually any key/mouse combo. Here is an example of a simple AHK macro: ^j:: Send, ^6!l Sleep, 100 Send, b Sleep, ...

MT4 navigational tips and techniques

IMHO the values are meaningless, it is the slope of one currency's plot (rising/falling) relative to the slopes of the other plots that illustrates strength/weakness. Whereas the values are completely arbitrary, and can be changed by simply altering ...

Recent Strength indicator

Assuming you're referring to the Recent Strength indicator in post #1, the values are already plotted from the 8 data buffers that are available in MQL4 build 509. You can see these displayed in the Data Window in the screenshot: image I don't know ...

Hi Cubby, I just 'discovered' you now. Outstanding work, I'll continue to follow your thread. Travel safely. David

The REAL Traders Video Journal, 3-5% per month as a US trader

Simon, That's a very fair question. However, I'd just like to point out that, as a programmer (my career from 1979 until I retired from corporate IT in 2004), I'm not interested in a trader's IP, and I'll attempt to explain why. I'm no longer coding ...

Scammers - Hall of Shame

Indeed. Typical FF, he's probably just another hopeful who's made poor choices and been burned, venting his frustration. Then he assumes that his experience has made him smarter than everybody else. Anyway, I will stop here, as this will likely only ...

Institutional Equivalent Education?

signal.mq4 was compiled using MQL4 build 509 and might not work correctly on the latest MT4 builds. Possible solution: delete signal.mq4 file, and download attached signal.ex4 file into your ..../MQL4/Indicators folder. file Then either (1) go to ...

1000+ MT4 Indicators :)

I couldn't agree more with everything you've said. The retail mind thinks in terms of systems and profits; the professional thinks in terms of acquiring the knowledge and experience necessary to master a process.

Institutional Equivalent Education?

This post gets my vote.

2017 Post of the Year

Totally agree, from what I've seen of Ray's methods it's best if they're not released into the public domain. Also, I paid good money to attend the workshops, I don't see why naysayers and freeloaders should obtain the same info -- regardless of ...

Institutional Equivalent Education?

Discretionary trend trading In response to a PM I received, I will attempt to explain further what I mean by 'discretionary trend trading'. To anybody who's more interested in system/quant trading, then I highly recommend that you read threads like ...
