When you set up a gmx email account, then this is the info you plug into mt4: SMTP Server: mail.gmx.com:587 SMTP Login : [email protected] SMTP Passsword: your email password From: [email protected] To: email address you want the message to go ...

esanariam, Is it still working for you? Do you find that when a signal generates an alert that you receive the email (and in a timely manner, and not delayed so long that the signal passes?) I have a indi that 'should' be sending email alerts on my ...

interesting. thanks for the info. what is your profit exit strategy? out at a set # of pips?

Whoa. What broker allows 1:1000, and what is your exit strategy/target?

for starters... — How about a simple sound alarm/alert for when price closes beyond the top or bottom Bollinger Band (Period 20, Deviations 2)?

I think different people define their Head and Shoulders patters slightly differently, and have different requirements to call it trade-able. This one fit what I look for to trade it. I'm up 207 pips

For those pattern traders out there, a nice looking Head and Shoulders set up on the 4H TF. I jumped in short at 1.4420.

trade result — I closed my position at break even at 3:30 (EST) this afternoon because the hourly candle had zero contact with the bands.

light signal — There is a sell signal on the Eur/Jpy right now (10 am EST). I got in a little low for my taste, but the order filled. I'm shrot E/Y @ 114.88. SL is a top the one hour candle, 115.16, and TP @114.500.

lo &amp; behold... — looks like this system is still signaling nicely. Here is a great signal from 3AM EST this morning. As the efficacy of all system ebbs and flows with the current market type, its nice to see this system can keep on working.
