I was wrong side of this as well (how I love a good tight SL only to see a news gap bypass any SL and smack me round the head), but as a good learning reminder for me and thought I'd post up, zooming out on this pair makes it even more obvious, ...

Thank you g , helped me lots, I have always been unsure what to do with them, would hate to trash good entries

james16 Chart Thread

Hi, can anyone throw me some light on how to play PB at support/resistance followed by an inside bar. Not breaking the PB would typically invalidate the setup (i.e if it doesn't break the top) signal but the fact I have an IB seems to change this. I ...

haven't been very active on this forum but will change soon. I find smaller TF mean I'm stuck at my pc too much which I can't do. Higher TF = less signals, more risk but more time as well. I looked at H8 and H12 but not sure if I'm liking those, not ...

Trading Made Simple

Hi, would be great if you could help make an indicator. Attached a pivot indicator. Is it possible to make a histogram bar along the bottom - red, green (or orange if touching), for when price closes above or below PP (the pivot point for the week) ...

Excellent coding. With this development would a MTF version of the TMS-Osc Histo be possible. PG

Trading Made Simple

Hi, can these indicators (on first page) be made available for MT 5, I need to trade off 8hour chart. I use a period converter which works but makes system very slow (require 2 x charts per pair) PG

Great indi, very generous to share. How can the history boxes be coloured to reflect prev day candle colour instead of all same colour. So if day before was red day then box is red, if day before was green day then box is green. Does that make ...

Daily Boxes/Lines indicator

Hi, great code as always but i'm having a prob with the settings, if wick of candle is > 50% or 60 % 80% etc of the candle (so more wick than body) how do I make it alert me of this, I'm not getting the expected result... or is this the wrong indi ...

Wish I had your code skills Once the order is sent we're all at the mercy of the broker. What does frustrate me if thats the right word, you can never see the spreads historically so what might look like a neat trade on say NFP can actually be a ...

Straddle trading EA

Hi Alan, great work as always. I think it might be worth considering what is required with the EA. Its a straddle place trade EA, not a manage SL (or manage trade) EA. It does the place trade bit perfectly, so the problem now is how to manage it, ...

Straddle trading EA

If the spreads go extra wide, it will affect the stop loss of course, my mistake doh . 42 pip profit. Not bad, its a marker :-). I'll be hoping to better that

Straddle trading EA

Hi, interesting threads since my last post. The approach of if the SL goes extra wide the trade is cancelled is a fabulous idea. After that, For me personally I would like it to be based on the opposite entry or I will probably use decent size hard ...
