review your trades — Drop some of your earlier trades from your history window onto the chart and have a look at where they actually went compared to where you closed out. I find this helps you to avoid closing out too quickly. Treat each ...

AUD/USD

well spotted — They can be very powerful, particularly on the higher TFs. I agree with you on the prospects for AU, many others are waiting to short it but I think it will see 1.04 + before the week's out. A line chart is excellent for ...

Open/close cross

thank you — Thanks Jiva, I'll have a look at that. My only observation when using the 5,5 cross and 21 for trend is that you see more crosses but many of those are false signals. You still need to wait for the trend to change the direction of ...

Open/close cross

inspiring work — Hi jiva, This is a particularly interesting system for me, thanks for sharing. I wondered why you replaced the original open/close cross of the 21 LWMA with a cross of the two 5 MAs ? It seems quite a departure from the ...

VPS — I had a VPS located within the GlobalSwitch data centre in Sydney which hosts the GoM MT4 trade server and the Sydney MT4 data centre. Although I got fast ping times to both Sydney and Melbourne data centres, the MT4 client would always ...

no, live — No, they are live charts of the latest AU H4 up to last market close. The only difference was the broker GMT offsets of 0, 1 & 2 hours (left to right). Regards, Paul

on the right track then... — Probably good advice. I just need to get there before I die of old age Thanks. Regards, Paul

The samples are the latest AUDUSD H4 bars with GMT offset at 0, 1 & 2 hours from left to right. The problem for 3 traders using 3 different brokers is that they will each make a different interpretation of their own charts when, in fact, each chart ...

there's that line again — Useful post. I keep hearing about this mysterious line but have never been able to determine just what is meant by it nor where to find it nor how to apply it profitably if I did stumble across it in the ...

What about working backwards? — I often think it might be more useful to be able to analyse the different time frames by working backwards from the present moment. That is, looking at price changes over the previous M5, M15, H1, H4 (or ...

Illusion of Time(frames)

are they? — Well spotted. The charts I posted are H4 bars for the same period but the broker's server GMT offsets (charts left to right) are 0, 1 & 2 hours. I don't find the issue of different broker's bars interesting as such but rather the ...

It depends — You may not need to... Regards, Paul.

very interesting — I find the ideas and thoughts regarding this whole subject very interesting. Just to throw one more thing into the mix, please see the attached. It shows 3 small charts and later I'll tell you what they are. Some of you may ...

common sense - no sense — It's about time the administration at FF started to use some of the former because we are currently in a state of the latter. Don't let them get to you Brian. Y ? Regards, Paul.

Email sent to Twee — Hello Twee, Whilst trying to pacify a few soft headed whiners I believe you’ve made a bad call by proposing that Steve removes his offer of $100 for coding work on those EAs which are not to be made public on FF. The ...

is it a CBI trade? — I wonder if the gap would cause the CBI code to open a trade. Maybe CBI code shouldn't run first thing on Mondays. Regards, Paul.

I've got that too — Do you know which particular routines are responsible/afflicted Steve? I can have a look for it later today. Regards, Paul.

which account — I think there is a misunderstanding here. Brian currently advocates that no live trading should be done at all at the moment (whatever system you use) due to the current global financial situation and that people should only ...

did u close MT4 and re-start it — The above should work but you need to close MT4 first, do the copy and then re-start MT4. Also check the current profile name is the same one you used in the original MT4 (select it on the File - Profiles ...

MT4 Profile question ?

not sure — What you propose doesn't feel right to me. I'll run a quick test to see how long we are actually talking to loop through a small versus large history. If it's negligible I would stand by my original proposal. edit: test results I ...
