I love this! You know why?! Coz just the last week or two (and a couple of times in the past) I was looking through the charts and figuring a strategy to take advantage of the London open -> New York open trading period. One strategy was to play ...

MT4 EA Range Breakout request.

Sorry, I've been away. SendMail ("Message from WhyLose's EA", "There was a BUY signal generated on the Dollar/Loony pair!" ); It really is as simple as that one line of code. The first string (between the first pair of quotes) will be the email ...

Still learning the pitfalls of Forex. After coming from trading stocks etc, I'm only now getting artful at stop loss positioning in forex, which has taken a lot of energy and confidence out of me numerous times. : To top that, the number one ...

Tears And Laughter In Forex Trading

Hi, The short answer is yes. Platforms that allow Expert Advisor type programs can allow you to use just about any exit/stoploss strategy you can think of or can create the logic for. For instance, MetaTrader, I'm sure someone has written an EA ...

Forex platforms with ability to put Breakeven Stops

I think you're right Dial. Looking through the possible errors, "Off Quotes" is the only possible error that even comes close to notifying of that situation. (The NormalizeDouble command is good for when you get "Invalid Price" errors.) BenQ, ...

Does anyone recognize this error message?

OCO is a handy feature. You can straddle by hedging, but you are paying the spread twice. Where as OCO, of course, you are only opening and closing one position on a trade. ..but what's a few pips!?

OCO Trades

I'm sure I had that error on my pivot alert EA. I can't replicate the error now. I thought it was the NormalizeDouble command that fixed it. Try it anyway.

Does anyone recognize this error message?

BenQ, At first glance, it might be the the extra zero's on your prices causing it to fail mate. Try the NormalizeDouble command to bring your variables back to the 2 decimal places the eur/jpy has. Or... To make it the EA work with any symbol you'd ...

Does anyone recognize this error message?

You're right, we all know where you're coming from! Have a look at the number of subscribers who have been preached to and converted. They come back to the main forum and encourage the rest of those that are interested to give it a shot too. I feel ...

Lost in the Tunnel...

I don't know if your kidding either, but I''ve seen enough in my life to be completely open to the idea. I personally don't have the self control for something like that. Tell us more.

Any other veridical traders?

My FXDD demo account wasn't refreshing properly yesterday for me either. I could use my InterbankFX one with no problem. Thing is, I started the FXDD account 2 weekends ago because of InterbankFX's demo platform shutdown over the weekend! It seemed ...

Broker's Connections down...

It would be worth their while to employ people to do that I'm afraid. What better way to find loopholes etc to close and get more revenue. Nothings surer than death and taxes. Beauracrats need more tax money to create more jobs for their buddies ...

what is james16 forum about??

Just my opinion, but I can't see how any broker, particulary ones with the market maker model can offer the kind of service everyone is after. If the Bids/Offers dissapear on their interbank feed, it would be dumb of them to offer a better spread ...

problems logging onto Oanda?

A great way to figure out what happens there is to keep a journal of your trades. Quite often you'll look back and see something you wrote that broke your rules. Like forgetting to look at the larger time frame and realising that you ...

The tlatomi method

Price often misses by a couple of pips , just. So I use 3 Pips. Makes a difference. Allows for the different feeds that people use to calculate their pivots off of.

New Profit at Pivot Strategy..Anyone know how to encode to EA?..Please comment

Just to add to that. The 4 hour charts quite often hide double tops/bottoms etc.

Use of lower time frames to confirm entry

I do often. You can sometimes see the stronger support/resistence points on lower time frames. i.e. What price acted as a brick wall the most etc. Another example: ...If I'm entering at a support/resistance pivot or fib ratio I like screwing down to ...
