mtharwat & JibalaPasan .... Thanks for the help. I finally Figured it out!!! Looking at the Excel Options => Add-ins page that shows all the Excel Add-ins that are installed, Active and Inactive. I noticed the fxbluelabs.excelrtd add-in was inactive ...

Hi Mtharwat, I've reinstalled everything just now onto a 3rd PC. This time using a new Oanda Demo ( url ) account instead of using the IG live account. Just to see if it was an IG issue. I still get exactly the same behaviour. image

thanks Jibala, still no success though. i tried on a different machine and fresh installation of MT4 with the same results. DDE is working fine so I know that side of things is working. any other suggestions?

The download package from IG does show it uses the FXBlue.dll so I have also tried =RTD("FXBlueLabs.ExcelRTD", ,"12345", "balance") but no joy there either.

I am trying to get RTD to work with IG Markets. Everything is installed but they don't give an example of the Excel function call. I have tried lots of variations but get nothing back. =RTD("ig-markets.excelrtd", ,"12345","balance") Anyone able to ...

UJ Update — Closed my positions just now at 84.05 Will look for a good pull-back before looking for higher prices.

USDJPY — Gustavo, Do you have an updated count for USD/JPY? image

USDJPY Update — I guess this pair wanted another test of the lower value area. We are now seeing more buyers bringing this pair back up. Still see the target as the upper value area shown below. If that breaks, the 85 is the next target image

USD/JPY Value Area rejection — UJ is bouncing from a multi-day value area low. If the next few bars keep price above this area I would expect price to run the the Value area high zone. From there, watch 15m TF for continuation or reversal. ...

GU Daily — Thought I would post my Daily view of GBPUSD. I'm looking for a short-term daily top somewhere near here, followed by a move down to complete an AB=CD pattern. image That would also set up a Gartley buy. image

EURGBP - Daily — Thought I would post this daily view of EURGBP. I am looking at the retracement back up followed by another push down. I am not sure if it will make a lower lower though. Risk management can monitor that for me. image

EURUSD — Hi Gustavo, I wanted to share this chart with you to show a simple wave count on EURUSD. Yesterdays down move could have completed a 1hr W5, so I am looking for prices to move higher this morning. image What do you think buddy?

Sounds like you are using the Renko script instead of Range script.

Hi jj7000, Forgive my ignorance, what is the 'sho trading' style ? Congrats on bringing the account back

Hi TraderHotch, Thanks for stopping by. The results in the book show a steady rising equity curve with short periods of draw down. The MT4 results, even though showing similar % winning trades etc... has a very consistent declining equity curve. It ...

So why are the results so different? Lets look at the 2 major differences between the 2 tests: The book runs the backtests on GBPUSD on a 30 minute timeframe but the authors use the futures markets and not the spot forex market which I am using with ...

Chalk & Cheese — Yesterday I spent some time turning the pseudo logic into MT4 code. With this being the first system I have coded it's fair to say I had some 'issues', but with perseverance I managed to complete the coding to allow me to ...

Spooky — I've just been searching for a similar thing. Look at this post I made a few minutes ago. Should work for you (I think). url

Very Handy Scripts — Hi, I was searching for this type of functionality and came across this pair of scripts. Does the job perfectly. So first off run the COPY script on your chart with the Trend-Lines etc.. you want to copy, then run the ...
