{quote} Of course you are right! There is no money in the live account, I put 50 in but then withdrew it. I didnt want to just give it to them due to my lack of knowledge. I appreciate your admonition on my behalf. I am trying to search the threads for the basic set up issues so as not to clog up the forum with my questions, but I cant figure out why my charts arent showing forty bars. I think it must have something to do with the timezone settings...I have moved the arrow all the way to the right and still it won't show more than around 34 or so....
Go to the tool bar and be sure the Chart bar is showing like this:

The be sure the two buttons showing below is activated (pushed in) and then you will set to adjust 39 bars showing.

ok, so I checked and the tool bar looks correct, the buttons are pushed in. Now, I just need to set to adjust 39 bars showing.....but, I'm not sure how to do that. Sorry! I hate asking you to help with this Dove. Its like asking Michelangelo to draw a stick figure for me...

this is my h2 without the button on the left pushed in, with it pushed in it shows a few less bars, so I don't know. I'm going to keep searching for answers. Relentless is our goal, Relentless!

EDIT:
The chart is showing New York time and seems to be lined up. But I could be wrong. The bar timer doesnt seem to match. Any knowledgeable trader want to pm me for a sec get this straight? I would really appreciate it, and I hate clogging the forum with my newbie posts.

Edit 2 : No it still does not match the ones posted by Dove. Not sure why it is giving me such a hard time...Maybe I will uninstall MT4, and reinstall it with the paradox files.

Well trader - apparently my Lord gave me some time to deal with your problems, so lets get it done:

First thing is right click on your 2 hour (Offline) chart tab and click "Close" which will delete the chart from your workspace.

Next - go to File on your toolbar and click Open Offline and this window will show:

Take note of the right Shift Button is not activated. Activate this button and then got to the + zoom button and click it to you cannot click any more which will give you 37 bars showing.

Look above the first candle on top you will see a Dim Grey rectangle. Place your mouse over it and left click on it and move the rectangle two bars to right right which will give you 39 bars showing.

Now - right click on the chart - place your mouse over Template and scroll to the Paradox_H2 chart and click it.

You now have the correct settings.

You do the same for the H1 and the Daily.

I'm sorry my friend but you will not be able to get the candle count right on a laptop that can not give you a higher resolution. Your options are to attach an external monitor to the laptop only if your graphics card can handle a higher resolution with it attached or get a better laptop or the best option is to invest in a desktop PC.

OK - you have a laptop which explains the mystery and you have to live with it because you cannot get the right resolution. So right click on the chart and bring up the H2 chart and post it.

Thanks so much! I am thankful to have such helpful people. I will go ahead and buy a desktop and begin building a more permanent spot. In the mean time I have plenty to read and study and learn! When I get the pc set up I will come back and repost charts, but I suspect the issues will be resolved. I cant thank you all enough for helping. I was thinking, I have never experienced any way of making money that seems less about the money and more about the deeper significance. Trading is so philosophical; it is like looking into a pure creek and seeing gold on the creek bottom, but the water is the money we make, the gold on the bottom is the relationships we build, the love we show, the reward of self discipline, of thankfulness for the successes we are given. It is truly unique, and I feel more and more confirmations every day that this is a very wonderful gift. It is now up to me to learn as hard as I can to practice all the disciplines necessary to be a successful trader. I will be in this thread every day, Lord willing.

Edit: Just saw your response Dove. Here it is! I havent done anything with the time settings as of yet. But, Forex.com is my broker, and I am central time.

OK - you will have problems with the correct Fibo until you get a PC. But I have a question: how did you get 20 hours, 52 minutes and 48 seconds countdown on a 2 hour chart?

That is a marvelous question Dove, and one that I have no answer for. So...I need to figure out how to adjust the bar timer to equal the correct countdown of a two hour chart. I feel extremely reluctant to keep bothering you with these things!(unless of course you just feel so inclined) Let me try to research in the thread. Thanks once more.

The problem is the templates are correct with all indicators - your countdown shouldn't be showing because market is not even open. Close your platform and reopen to see if the countdown is still showing.

Well, I closed it out and restarted and the countdown was still incorrect. I wonder if this has come up somewhere in this thread already? I'll try to search and see if I can gleam any information from past recorded experiences.

Thanks Dove.

Edit: i went into the timer indicator and the server offset was set to zero. Since my broker is five hours ahead of New York, I put in a negative five, and that gave me a better countdown, accurate to the h2 template, but if it should not be counting down at all, then another problem remains.

I do not believe it has - if so I have not seen any posting on it. But if anyone had the problem they could post it and give a solution if they have one.

OK - everyone take care and have a very blessed week-end and God bless us all.

Regarding the Sessions Indicator:

The Sessions Indicator is for the Daily open candle which takes place at 17:00 EST. It is not calculated by your own time zone. Across the globe the Daily opening is at 17:00 EST and remains the open Daily for 24 hours. At 17:00 is when all brokers across the globe calculates the exchange rate for the prior 24 hours. There are 4 major sessions: Sydney (17:00), Tokyo (19:00), London (03:00), and New York (08:00) and each of these sessions open accordingly with Eastern Standard Time Zone.

Opening today is now back to standard time and not daylight savings time. The indicator is now back to 5 with the gmtServerOffset. During Daylight Saving Time the Offset is 4. The indicator is basically used with H1 chart because the MT4 platform does not recognize daylight savings time with all charts above the H1. But during Standard time the indicator would be right with the H2 chart at 17:00.

An example is let say - you are in Pacific Time Zone. This means the Daily open candle is at 14:00 your time. Mountain time is 15:00 your time. Central time is 16:00 your time. Eastern time is 17:00 your time.

As for myself I use only the Sydney session on my charts because all I am interested in is the 24 hour Daily Opening Candle. For any session you do not want to use then place -1 on all other time sessions to disable those opening sessions.

So here goes: It seems ROMAR is below EMA on all charts, thus we are in an upward trend. Now, if we never trade against the trend, do we wait for retracements down to support and then go long? How do we tell when the candle has hit its limit for the high and is about to stop and come back down? Id the sar and psar and the four horsemen are all climbing up, AND WE DID NOT GET INTO THE TRADE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE CLIMB, then do we wait for it stop on its own, and then retrace, and then go long?

In other words, if the trend is up on all charts, yet the candle is falling, we don't trade, because trading when the candle is falling within a upward trending market would be counter trading right? Thus, we need to wait until the candle stops retracing low within the upward trend. These movements up and down within an upward trend are called swings, right?

Thanks.

The market is still showing that it is in an up trend. Yet, for the last few hours the candles have kind of stalled, going sideways, not really up or down.
This is my H2

EDIT: So I put in a buy order to go long based on the indicators all supporting the upward trend, even though it looked like the bars were stalled and moving sideways. But, since they represent price mostly, and Dove says nothing about watching price, I trusted the indicators which all pointed to upward trends. So, my demo account is up several pips as of now. The question now is which indicators will signal me that it is time to close? Probably when I reach twenty pips, huh? Well, thats what I will do.

Posting my first plan

Daily
Romar: crossed purple for beginning trend change to the upside but ema still not crossed and looking like a slider
Ema: Under Romar for the downtrend but acting as support
Parabolic: Support
Fibo: Down and approaching a new high
Four horsemen: turning sideways for the daily consolidation with shallow crossing of purple and white

Notes: Daily is in Consolidation with paradox divergence at the top and db and sar attached. Market is in the top of consolidation range possibly look for turning down with bb squeezing in and a possible hit.

H2
Romar: Support
Ema: Support
Parabolic: Support
Fibo: flipped for down last four bars.
Four Horsemen: All for the up

Notes: Two hour chart is in consolidation and fibo flipped for down along with db and sar attached four bars ago yet four horsemen in strong up trend.

H1

Romar: Support
Ema: Support
Parabolic: Support
Fibo: Flipped for down 7 bars ago
Four horsemen: all uptrend with slight bending of purple to white

Entry:
All three charts in consolidation. Macd upward on all 3 charts with H1 declining. Will enter long with a retrace to smooth or even ema do to close resistance and with the possibility of a fakeout after consolidation on H2 downward before resuming its uptrend and/or entry short for maybe 20 pips if a hit on daily and h2 bb especially with daily still in downtrend. German factory news in two hours so cautious upon entry with impact being medium.
