Got it.

Since you saw the code I edited to get RefreshPeriod parameter, is it ok in terms of correctness of just getting it work (RefreshPeriod)?

Thanks for this. Is bool FirstTime; line needed there?
No, it can be removed.

I've just fixed the instructions in post #1 for DLB. Thanks for pointing this out, and sorry for all of the inconvenience I've caused you. After 11+ years of FF I am old and jaded and I can't keep track of everything I've written in almost 8,000 posts, LOL. As I get older I'm afraid the memory lapses will get more frequent.

Hopefully the AFP indicator works correctly for you now.

No need to be sorry, especially taking into account the huge amount of work you've done here.

As for the brain, try to eat as much different food as possible, including invertebrate fish, to achieve the max variety of substances the brain receives. Plus the intellectual and creative occupation is what prevents it from getting into marasmus, so you doing right.

That's what our russian mighty professor, Ph. D in neuroscientist, says. You can see him in this video, he takes out brains from Lampreys to make their atlas.
After they cook them and eat them.

I hope you won't hate me after this, but I thought the indi which plots lines once will re-plot them when I hit Refresh button with right mouse click. Since the file with data is new every day, I will stick with the modiciation I made, with RefreshPeriod.


Maybe it's a good idea if you will add info on what will happen when indi gets invalid RefreshPeriod value in this post.


I'm glad we figured this all out, thank you for all, once again, all the best.

The quickest way I've found to force a refresh of all indicators on a chart is simply to switch to a different timeframe, and then back again.

Yeah, and I just realised that the distance between the current price and the lines's label won't be updated if the indi won't get refreshed every tick. And that is a must have for me, so there was no point in doing this all from the beginning.

I apologise to you for your time wasted.

Hello Hanover,

How does Daylight Savings affect Trading Sessions?

It depends on daylight saving in your local time zone.

If you live outside the UK/Eurozone, then London/Europe/Swiss sessions all start an hour earlier, while UK/Eurozone is on daylight saving.

If you live outside the USA/Canada, then New York session starts an hour earlier, while USA/Canada is on daylight saving.
Note: If you use MT4, then some br0kers adjust MT4 time while USA is on daylight saving, just to make it more confusing (check with your br0ker).

Depends what you mean by the Asian session. Japan does not use daylight saving, so no change. NZ, and parts of Australia, use daylight saving.

All sessions start an hour later while your local time is on daylight saving.

Simplest way is to find a time zone webpage (e.g. here) which will show you the current time in major cities:

Yes, what I should have mentioned int he question was 'with respect to trading behavior and volatility'

Here it is clear to me that the US session should shift it's starting time with respect to GMT in general.

Thanks for letting me know.

Imagine wanting to review past data over the years and assess your strategy with respect to the 3 majorish sessions while they all seem to change to daylight savings.

Hello, I'm sorry for that.

Anyway not sure why you quoted me, that post was not for you.
Just my way of downplaying the topic.

Hello Hanover, suppose a there is a strategy that depends on price behavior repeating itself. In my case, suppose at most there can be one trade per day, in a year in general there would be about 180/250 tradable days. How many years worth of data would I need to be obtain, to use in order to confirm that a repeating cycle exists and will probably exist into the far future?


Also, a different question, are you aware of any indicator that counts the number of ticks there were at specific prices and displays it vertically aligned to price, like on the left or right side of screen? If I am not making sense, imagine the standard volume indicator that displays the amount of ticks per time, imagine now a volume indicator that displays the amount of ticks per price (within a certain period).
I am aware of those distribution kinds of indicators that just shows like a histogram of where price has been but that's irrelevant atm.


P.S. Thanks for your activeness on this thread.

My guess is that, in general, it would be dangerous to assume that patterns would "exist into the far future". But it would depend on the probable causes of a pattern, and how deeply the cause is ingrained in trader psychology/behavior. Perhaps a good example is thew way in which traders always place their stoplosses outside of a swing point; that's a convention that's always been adopted, and is likely to continue to be the case.

A trading friend of mine plotted a histogram showing which hour during the day that daily highs/lows occurred. He went back about 2-3 years, to get 500 days for his data plot, and it did highlight some (albeit 'fuzzy') trends. IMHO 500 is probably a good enough number, and although more is probably better, we must also consider that market behavior can change over time, and hence data that's too old (say 5 years) might not accurately reflect current/future behavior. But again I expect it would depend on the nature of the pattern, and how deep-seated its underlying causes are.

The only indicator I'm aware of is market profile, which plots daily volumes horizontally at each price level. Volume in MT4 is tick volume, so this might come close to meeting your requirement. I've attached one such indicator. In the 'MT4 Programming' section in post #1, there are links to posts containing several thousand indicators; you might be able to find something more suitable there.
