I quickly (10 seconds?) looked at the first one, there is a statement in the code that stops execution if the period is greater than H1. I expect there's a reason for that. Without spending time to find out why, here it is with that statement ...

Sounds like a true buddy to me! Good post, Bill.

Achievable Goals

OK, now think a whole lot deeper! Think about the dream. The wealth. Having the kind of house that I want, having the kind of cars I want, the kind of woman I want... the FREEDOM I want! It all depends on successful trading. A losing day is one more ...

Trading...Yeah Right...

renasdad explained very well what we all go through. I'm about where he is, not blowing account, not making it big either. Sounds to me like you'll make it if you hang in there. That is the only thing that is true about ALL the ones that make it - ...

Trading...Yeah Right...

I think the issue will not be one of "who is the best broker", it will be "who will accept your money". The fast way to weed them out is tell them you're Iranian. I doubt any broker will let you fund an account. I could be wrong, this is opinion ...

Help me choose a Broker ... Please!

for those blanks, insert the values for any external variables in the custom indicator, in the order they appear. OK, the BreakOut-Eagle variable declarations look like this: extern int NumberOfDays = 50; extern string periodBegin = "05:00"; extern ...

question on using 'iCustom'

I'm not crazy about any of the choices for the poll. The best answer is "huge return with low risk is a myth". But it doesn't tell the whole story. There are great traders that make huge returns. 5 - 10% per month is acceptable, enough to make ...

I hate forex - the truth about gains in Forex

It really has to be that way. If it's for sale, it doesn't work. If it works, it's not shared. If someone shared an EA that really worked, it would be emailed from person to person so quickly that within days or weeks, hundreds of millions of ...

Here's this one. I misspelled shmancy. Sorry. url

Search on Forex Factory for "Tesla's fancy schmancy" There's also an EA that will place trades according to TL's, search for "trend me leave me"

So true. I'm sure this can only come with time and experience, but any advice about how to manage this would be helpful.

Soultrader's Clinic :)

You know, you could get on any thread on Forex Factory and give reasons why it will not work. Just keep it up for a few months. Eventually, there will be a time in the market when the system does not work. Then you can sit around and say you were ...

The Holy Grail - Found

Today will be the third day on the "real" job. It's a great job, with tremendous challenge, and very high potential. Just like forex trading. Except for 2 things: 1. I know what to do to have consistent success, month after month, year after year. ...

Transition from Losing to Winning

Hi totalpips, I'm almost afraid to go back and read what I wrote a year ago, since it's quite possible that I'm not that much farther along. I still have many of the same problems. Also, go with a system for as long as it works, be ready to change ...

Transition from Losing to Winning

Vensik and Rabid are right. Fill out the Sched D, claim the loss, and get a refund for 2006. There are different rules for short term and long term capital gains /losses. You might have to carry some of the loss over to 2007, if it's over 3000.

If you can't grow a small account, then you can't grow a large account.

Advice Only. 1 Liners Concise.

Thanks for the kind words. I still have tremendous enthusiasm for trading. Maybe getting a job will be the best thing that ever happened to my trading. I'll be forced to go to daily charts. I don't much care for trading the D1. The stops are wide so ...

Transition from Losing to Winning

Yes, I owe those guys a lot, they do share tons of great stuff with the forex community, and I got started learning to program MT4 from codersguru. AND from looking at their work and many others'. That's mostly my point -- nothing is original except ...

Note to people needing a coder

Congrats, that's a truly great accomplishment! You have my respect, and HAD my attention. I think you have a ways to go. No, it's the % gain that really matters for beginners. If you can't make a small account grow, then you can't make a big account ...
