Ok, I am temporarily abandoning NinjaTrader because I found a gigantic section on Birt's page about converting CSV data to MT4 format. You just use the JForex2FXT script. Oh, so easy? Ha! Right! Anyway... After FINALLY figuring it out and getting it ...

Ok, np. Thanks, I forgot about the spread. You are right. This would be awesome! I guess I would still need the .bin files. That's ok, I'll get them. Do you know you can set the spread in MT4 while offline? Save the symbols.set file in Crogram ...

Actually I used Birt's "easy way" and opened a Dukascopy demo account. It downloads as much data as you want directly to csv. I do not see where I can download to .bin files from within NT. I'll try Birt's scripts. Hey, it's all good!

Josh, I'm not concerned with refunding the account for testing purposes. I am trying to see it more simply than that for now. Here is how I intend to run calculations, if I can ever get it to work! A trade taken can have only one of 3 ...

Thanks for the encouragment GX! I need it right now.

Guys, you are getting WAY beyond my feeble ability to understand and keep up with all the programming and stat-speak. But it's VERY cool that everyone is working on it this way. I'm having a terrible time with this. I downloaded about 4.5 years of ...

Hi, guys. Still working on the statistics. Got NinjaTrader yesterday and started to try to figure it out. What an ordeal!! It looks very powerful but every step is an ordeal to figure out how to even open a chart with data! Have to convert data into ...

Josh, is the EA supposed to work in the history tester? I tried it but it give no results.

Really? I have not used Ninja Trader yet but I've read about it. I'll check it out. Thanks for the heads up Kenz!

I'm totally stuck here. I'm trying to set up a system to analyze data programatically, or using formulas. I downloaded the Dukascopy data for a few pairs. But I can't open them in Excel because there are too many lines of data. Just a few days of ...

Josh, this sounds absolutely fantastic! I've opened a Dukascopy demo account but I'm totally stuck. This may be the answer to my problems. I'll elaborate in another post. Thanks!

Oops! Thanks asos! Still a little sleepy...

Ah, Pivot Points! There are a series of posts by several of us discussing this a couple of months ago. Here is how I solved the same problem you are facing. Attached is PivotPoints v8.03 indi. It was generously re-coded by screenname. You will see ...

Funbux, you've got it! I looked at your first chart and thought it looked pretty good, then saw your second chart and price went your way. I think this setup would need a really good entry (as close to bar highs as possible) and very small SL. ...

Thanks, Haydel! Excellent analysis and presentation!

I've seen references to RAC's post but I haven't searched it out yet. I'll definitely do that when I get a chance, thanks for pointing it out for me. I posted a spreadsheet 3 or 4 weeks ago with analysis of the previous 12 months. So I may have ...

Just want to share a few more thoughts after a lot of good comments in recent posts. I don't think Tony's method of replacing pips from other sources is bad, either. Cash is cash, wherever you get it (or spend it!). He is investing a little at a ...

Central Banks & Big Players

SmartGXL, that's a good idea. How about this: Enter with 2 or 3 positions. At 20 pips close 1st trade and trail other 2 at 10 pips. At +50 close second trade and move 3rd trade to trail SL at 10-20 pips. Close third trade at 75 pips or let it ride ...

Wasting time, or investing time? — As Tony says, we are not wasting our time, we are investing our time. Most of the time spent trading any system is waiting anyway. This is just a different way of waiting and being patient. My only problem is ...
