Many thanks. That first link did the trick. It's working well. Still figuring out how to install the DailyLineBoxes ...
- Searching for an MT4 breakout box indicator
Several years ago I was using a very adaptable MT4 indicator that created a simple box on my ...

Similarities — I started reading this thread, thinking it might be a way to learn to trade on the 15 minute charts, while letting my 4 hour timeframe trades rumble away in the background; when, lo and behold, skipping ahead, I find not only ...

Sorry, I missed your question. No, the entry point I used was 0.7100, around where the red line is on my chart. That's also near where the 50% retacement is. I was trying to follow the procedure of letting price go beyond a predetermined round ...

NZDUSD — At the same time, it looks like a sell on the daily chart!
- dod replied Mar 11, 2010
No, you're quite right - you didn't! I think I just assumed as much by implication, because you said a few posts ago that your "preferred analysis is higher highs/lows / lower highs/lows. I prefer to watch these swings on a daily chart and they tend ...

Dan, Although I can see from a 4 hour chart your reasons for entering this trade, I don't understand why you considered the trend to be up, on a daily chart. I'm attaching what I see.

Thanks, Dan - that's really helpful. I've always been interested in Jacko's approach, but somehow couldn't quite grasp its 'simplicity'! You've straightened it out for me, while adding your own slant.

Dan, Concerning your AUD trades (and the folow up one). On the first chart I'm attaching, I've marked three reasons you might have had for entering; but there is an absence, as shown on the second chart, of any obvious diagonal trendline 'touch'. Do ...

Prorealtime — I like the facility Metatrader has for coloured rectangles; but, using Prorealtime, has anyone figured out how to draw a rectangle that is anything more than an outline? Also, when drawn on weekly charts, how to stop the ...
- dod replied Jul 1, 2009
One major advantage of Prorealtime is you can write your own scans for any sort of bar formation and then run it on daily or weekly charts. The scans are pretty easy to set up.

There's no commission on their spreadbet platform. I don't know if the spreads are the same as CFD's, though. I'm not a big fan of IG; but they do provide a service, and the higher your time frame, the less the size of the spread matters, though, ...

Insurance — It's just a way of taking out insurance against the possibility of a massive overnight gap. They charge you a premium for shouldering the risk. As with all insurance, the premiums from those who don't 'claim' pay for those who do; ...

You could always use a spreadbet company, like IG, who have guaranteed stops.

Fractal — I also posted here url (post 5 on ...) I ended up with a functional indicator below the price chart; but it wasn't what I really wanted.

Fractal — I was looking for exactly the same code. I asked for help here url (posts 2260 to 2269) I got somewhere, on daily charts, but it fell apart when I tried using it intraday.

You're right - it's not a good solution. I think I'm back to where I was before, opening two separate positions.
- dod replied May 20, 2009
Interesting idea. Actually, I thought of another plan. I place one pending order to buy, say, 2 contracts, with a 10 point risk and a 10 point target. At the same time, I place another pending order to buy 1 contract, with a stop entry at the target ...

Pure Deal execution — Can anyone tell me how to improve on my labour intensive Pure Deal execution? Basically, I want to be able to set up a pending trade, long or short, using a stop entry at a certain price, with a risk of so many points; ...
