Fib projections(or expansions) give pretty good targets. You can use them on most trend based trades to take partial profits, move stops etc. They can also help you to the risk reward aspect of the trade. A lot of trades will make it successfully to ...

Fibonacci Projections

When you do that you have to delete the indicator (and thus, it's window) from your chart and then add it in again. MT4 will let most code changes take effect immediately, but that is one of the changes that won't take affect until you remove and ...

Getting Indicators to show up in Chart Window

Did this problem start with the lattest build of MT4 that I think came through on the weekend?? (I've still been saying no to upgrades! )

different between cci, sto, rsi??

Yes , but there are other reasons to go to larger charts first. It's good to know where upcoming resistance and support points will be. Amongst other things. No point going short on your 15 minute chart if your about to hit the all time low!

Never trade against the larger trend?

Yeah, for sure. James was not pulling our legs when he said you could trade quite happily on understanding pin bars alone. When you get them in the right place they absolutely rock!

Hi SeekingLight Those two pin bars you have marked out aren't very good examples. The first one is more of a spinning top pattern (in candle speak) and indicates indecision in the market. The bulls and bears are pretty even in their market power. ...

This could have two answers. NO, you don't NEED money to make money. Technical answer. (The one I voted for!) YES, for most people you do need money to make money. Having money already, allows you to dedicate more time to your trading/investing. ...

A Trading Experiment

Hi, In MT4, once you have one chart setup the way you would like with all your different indicators and their settings, colour schemes etc, you can save that "look" as a template. Just right click anywhere on a blank area of the chart and choose ...

MT4 S.O.S !

I love the way you think bloke! Using different colors for the best pins isn't such a bad idea. I already use different colour arrows for other formations though, but now that you suggest it.

SeekingLight, I agree mostly with what you're saying , but dude, you're missing the point of why I've written it. Now, before I continue, I'll mention that the following is meant to be read and taken lightly. I know how easy it is to read this sort ...

Hi TRO, I can give you a run down of what I went through while writing my own indicator for MetaTrader4. * Narrowing down to bars where the open and close were within the previous candle filtered out too many good pins that are successful many ...

This question get's asked all the time and the sad truth is you can't change it without finding another provider that used MT4 in your timezone. You WILL get used to figuring it out in your head. Took me a while though to have it come natural to me. ...

I've written a pinbar indicator. It's customisable and needs to be setup based on the history of the pair and the timeframe you are working on. i.e. Mimimum nose length and so on. It's very subjective. You can make it as sensitive or insentive as ...

Ha ha, being a couple of days later, I couldn't figure out then what I was talking about their! LOL After setting up the fibs again I can see: Price did a richochet between the 61.8% Fib and the 50% retracements before continuing down past the ...

" All this sounds very quaint and out of touch with computer-driven markets, but up to 20 tones of gold a day are thought to be traded through the fixing." Is that all? Thanks. That was a good read.
