It's also weird with global variables. Since I started playing with it I've found I've had to start from scratch with a particular indicator/expert because the globals don't "hold" there values between executions of the routines. Try and confirm ...

BTW, Try and removing the expert from the chart and reattatching it too when changes don't seem to do anything. MetaTrader's a bit funny with stuff like that, I've found.

Damn... I'll have to play with it. I won't have time till probably later in the week though. Got a 12 hours or more of driving to do in a little while. I'll actually test it when I get back. Unless someone pipes up before then. I'll get back ...

Heh Heh... Sorry mate, change the #Define statements to #define ...or if you have trouble with that just change them to Integer definitions like: int Bullish = 1; int Bearish = -1; Same difference. Will teach me for not testing it!

In the MetaEditor, if you have the Navigator window open you'll find the built in indicator fiunctions in the MQL4 Reference. In the dictionary section, under Technical Indicators. iStochastic() & iRSI() be what ya need.

Since the Start() routine is called every tick, you may still get mutiple alerts if the current bar oscillates around the cross-over trigger values. For me, I'd still be keen to test the previous bar for the crossover and ignore the current ...

Try these changes dude. All additions in coloured text. Nothing has been removed. I haven't tested this, but should be straight forward. Should put you on the right path at least. Probably don't need to check previous MAs now either. ...

Same happened to me last week JJ. My InterbankFX demo account started on the 19th of last month and expired on the 9th. Mucked up a real trade I was in through Gain Capital too. : Wasn't expecting that.

Interbank FX Demo problems?

Thanks ktrade, never seen that one before! Bookmarked! Still gunna get a couple of those clocks though. Just to make things more "at a glance" compatible. If you know what I mean? Trade -> Glance ->News time in 10mins ...etc.

So simple. Yet so brilliant! Never thought of just going down to the local $2 shop and buying a few clocks and labeling them. Duct tape them to the monitor, and voilà!!!

Funny that! My most successful trading comes from those very things. Nothing beats support and resistance and how price reacts within proximity of particular MAs. MACD RSI and Stochs, to me, can help me to trade on the right side of the ...

Speaking of Oz & FX. It's hasn't taken off here at all yet. I've never noticed any major articles in the Australian press. If i hadn't gotten curious suddenly, I'd be still stuck in the boring asset investments. The mainstream investment ...

Your welcome. I know how frustrating it is not having a solid idea of your chart's timezone. Makes opens and news time easier to prepare for when you know, for sure.

Agree. I look at it this way. If I can make pips consistently I'll be happy. ...then it's just a matter of slowly building and increasing lot sizes as I get confident (and as my account size allows it to do so at a particular percent risk.) The ...

Brokers might use forums to know how we trade ?!

It's a bugger to work out mate. Been there done that. Here's a pic that should help you get your bearings... Includes another spike that you should be able to correlate with your chart. EUR/USD on Friday 9th June 2006.

My "Only if!?" story of the day... After the Eur hit a pivot just between 23.6 and 38.2 fibs it started to look bearish. So I went short. My demo account at InterBank was closed and disabled a little while later (10 days before the 30 days ...

what's UP GBP/USD !

Yeah, I brain stormed on that when I read it. You could even trade your MetaTrade by SMS if you created a .DLL that you have watching for return messages. Good shit! Would be a little work though. For example I have my PAP signals going to ...

Yeah , I actually started to make a quick EA for you last night but when I realised I needed to filter it from triggering too often I stopped. Was too tired . LOL You could check that the price was the OPPOSITE side of your trigger side the last ...
