Unfortunately, my live account has taken a hit this week since I got the losses but could not stick around long enough for the wins. Here's a winning demo trade based on my new test of buying when the Bid reaches the 00 line. I'm still long on EA, ...

For anyone interested, I am testing a new version of the EA / trade manager that will open Buy trades based on the Bid instead of the Ask. Since my spreads are a little higher than many of you, I don't want to get in a trade based on that larger ...

Yeah, that would be neat if you could only include the USD news that Udine watches: NFP, Interest Rates, (FOMC?). Otherwise, just make all USD Red news show Yellow or something.

Ok, here it is. I'm not the best programmer and I struggled to get it to do what I wanted so don't expect any suggestions to be added, unless it's really easy and I'm bored. If I screwed something up, I'll fix it. I added some notes to explain what ...

Like this?: image I was kind of hoping someone would ask. I modified this based on CCT's use. I need to make it a little more user friendly and will post later.

That's why I switched to the NewsCal-v107 because it can draw vertical lines directly on the chart where the news is so I can see it in advance. You can also filter what news you want to see on each chart.

Yes, today is another apparently typical example where I'm in a long EJ trade at 138.400 and stuck in DD since then. The second hour offered plenty of opportunity to exit at BE. Learning... learning... learning.

Thanks for the detailed reply. I would like to trade Tokyo more often but I (am starting to) understand it a little better, as you described. I saw the Resistance and wondered if it could break through. I also believe if I take a trade in the first ...

you mean 1.8190, right? Still, if you're comfortable trading during news, that's good, but I'm not. I saw it running away and thought "boy, I'd like to be on that bus", but the bus had already left the station.

I believe you can trade again if it retraces but hopefully someone else will confirm. At that point though, it might be a trend reversal.

If you mean OCO for pending orders on the same symbol, my EA already does that. If you mean OCO for pending orders on different pairs, I can show you how to edit the code. I believe MrTD's scripts have an expiration time. I also use 1 hour. If I'm ...

I thought >5 pips away from DO would be okay, but for now I need to avoid trades where SL is on opposite side of DO (like someone else here said).
