Awesome work Findus. Having been enjoying your journal from afar . My 2c on your post #365 above, and the missed trade that would have been a loss. A filter that I would use: [see attached image with comments] either way, it looks like your system ...

Please do share your method then, so it can be discussed.

i concur. See, you already know how to spot potential false breakouts

Here is a breakout setup I would not trade. 1. setting up during Frankfurt 2. Price has already moved a long way 3. The breakout would be straight into the origin of the initial drop, meaning lot's of selling happened there previously If the ...

Interesting concept here. I'm not sure you how long you have been trading this way, but once you get a decent sample of trades. Try and assess how often you have multiple winners in a row. i.e. 2 or 3 or 4 in a row being common? if so, you might ...

You have already been given loads of responses......what exactly is it you are looking for? Can't you accept that it probably isn't something that you can 100% identify? I still stand by my advice earlier in this thread......before a breakout, look ...

Understood. I'm probably not going to bother with it - as at the end of the day, it does what it needs to with the external mailing exe. It's not as elegant as it could be - but I'm pretty happy with the outcome given my self confessed status as ...

Yes CodeMeister, it is a great feeling. I still realise I have a lot to learn too! I do have one question for you ( at the end of this post ). I've made some improvements, and as there seems to be little interest for tool, this I'll probably leave ...

Just in case anyone still cares - I have something that works and it's at a point I'm willing to share for critique. Attached is a zip file containing: Alerter.mql - the MT4 indicator that does the alerting and saves a screenshot ( not my code, ...

OK, so I've got it working. Nearly. The script/ INI file do their part perfectly. I have an ini file you can use for all the settings, including the destination directory you would like for the file once its emailed. It works fine when I run the ...

OK. I'm stuck I can't for the life of me figure out how to iterate through the array of file names. Here is my loop $sFileOld = $a_files ; the array of filenames in the directory that end in *.gif Local $iMax Local $data=$sFileOld ; The string in ...

I fixed one thing and broke another. on the SMTP script i figured out how to import multiple files of *.gif into an array so i can have multiple attachments if required. Which in turn broke the ability to move the files and pre-pend the names ( ...

Using your smaller pic as an example, it actually works from both our points of view. If i traded that short breakout - the fake one. I would have been vary wary when price entered the zone i've amended on your chart. Which you could argue is S/R or ...

For the unique ID i'm thinking of this approach. I'll get the screenshot function to call the image file something meaningful, but with a prefix like: TOSEND_EUM15-03022013.png. within the mailing script I'll get it to send "TOSEND*.png" so that it ...

Glad you found it amusing. I was trying to make a point. Apologies if i upset your retail sensibilities. I know in the past I have found myself with a chart that looked like that and my buy order being the very top of that pin - and thought, wow, ...

Further to above - this is what happened the other day. I shorted this. also google 'Frankie Fakeout' and probably wouldn't hurt to check out some of the stuff on this forum to do with Orderflow and why false breakouts happen + why they cause such ...

My 2c is this. Learn about Supply and Demand Zones, then google 'Bull Trap' and 'Bear Trap' don't take a breakout that will send you directly into an opposing Supply or Demand zone - especially during Frankfurt/London changeover. Sam Seiden explains ...

Progress This is a handy script whatever the occasion. 3 files in the archive MT4-AlertMailer.au3 - AutoIT script MT4-AlertMailer.exe - Compiled executable of the above Alert_Mailer.INI - INI file allowing user to enter own email TO and FROM details ...
- Sebastiaan76 replied Feb 5, 2013
Here is the AutoIT script code I'm using - I've converted it to an exe for my use..........I'm trying to figure out how I could use a .ini file or a .txt file to hold the variables for the email servers etc so that the exe file could be universal ...
