Thanks - yep - and understand what you are saying about cTrader. I have a "price average" type line on MT4 that works ok but I can understand it would be simpler. I think I need to do some experimenting with hedging to get more comfortable. It is ...

Enjoying the thread - thanks. I was directed here as I have a bad history with hedging and someone mentioned your thread. Always willing to learn. I know it wasn't hedging that cost me in the past but lack of any clue what to do once I'd hedged - ...

There's nothing wrong with your pivots. There are various places to check online e.g. url None of them will give an exact number that you should be looking for as they obviously depend on the data source for the previous week's H/L & Close. As ...

The trouble is LhDT the smoothing needs to take in to account the ATR for the timeframe/currency pair in question I believe (or something similar) - that's why it looks better on higher timeframes. To implement this was beyond my basic skills. For ...

Your modded OBV indi looks very interesting to me gg53. I had a look at the OBV indi code (original) thinking I could save you some effort but soon realised indi code is somewhat different from EA code and I was a bit lost. If you do have ...

It certainly makes you think about when is a breakout actually a breakout and how close stops should be!! None of these S/R are ever pin point accurate as people draw trendlines/fibs etc differently and the broker differences cause this disparity ...

That may be the case but you will have to accept that what I have said re. calculation of them is correct (EDIT: ActionForex has a link for showing how the pivots are calculated - url ). The only way you will get pivots to match the Action Forex ...

There is nothing wrong. Weekly pivots will be different when based on different closing/opening times and therefore different values. They will rarely be that significantly different. I have looked at both GMT and GMT+3 and the GMT+3 often seem a ...

Bob - I took an AUDCAD SRF trade, tiggered as it crossed the weekly open price as that did appear to be offering some s/r. Do you think this is a reasonable entry approach? Or too risky and I should wait for pivot cross? Thanks, Dave.

The one Gary amended in Steve's forum works fine and is the only one I know of that will work with non-GMT brokers (ie. it works with GMT+1,+2, +3 or +x brokers) - it works fine with GMT brokers too but if you have a GMT broker then you may as well ...

That doesn't really make sense to me. Price nearly always crosses the MAs BEFORE it crosses the pivot. The exception is when price is ranging around a pivot or sometimes when there is a pivot "overshoot" on a retrace (but not always). Check out ...

I think we are saying the same thing. Anyone know if the issue with the 1x0 Weekly Histogram not resetting at the start of the week for any but GMT brokers was resolved? I am using IBFX on demo right now so it's not an issue and will open an ...

Agreed - but it is an idea to save your current profile when you are happy with it as it can prevent some MT4 bloopers.

You can set trades to run on a chart with the EAs provided and they will run as long as that chart, with the EA on, is open somewhere on your MT4 terminal (minimized or whatever). If you change profiles that is like closing ALL charts and opening ...

I agree with this - I mean why wouldn't I? Well there is this: image Oh yeah - and this: image Edit: Pictures seem to have gone - I think the way I attached them was suspect - I used a link to online photo storage..... what's the best ...

I agree - lots of sideways movement and retracing going on. Back in to the trend please market.....

2 very useful EA's for NB10.2 — Steve Hopwood has created 2 (more!) great EAs that I think would be very useful for NB10.2. Currently the EA's in use for NB10.2 allow "hand's free"/emotionless trading of price Vs the shifted 5MA's however ...

There are a couple of bugs in the indicators being worked out hupipko for certain brokers (just related to rollover time of the broker I think & Sunday bars) - I am sure when they are resolved updates will be posted. I don't think it is anything you ...
