Hey guys, I took quick trade and I am happy especially with the setup. All criteria were met and there was no hesitation. I also changed my MACD settings which were wrong. Thank you for your support.

Remember, there are no wrong setting. Choose the ones that best suit you. Ultimately, its as with moving averages - give and take game.

I think, the best you can do right now is watching only pure PA, swings, how market reacts to more important levels (S/R, BRN, Fibonacci) and how reacts to less important levels, and how much he reacts. This way you will understand the best how market works. Your analysis is not bad at all, you can find nice clues, but more important is how PA reacts to them, in fact it's only thing that really matters. You're so close, just spend some time with pure PA and it's gonna be great .

Hi Alt11,
in reality it does not happen, if you follow the rules.

In range market you have two choise: or reduce Renko size to 2 or 1 pip brick (sometimes i do it) or don't trade because there aren't setups.

Good advice. For me the best policy in such a market is to go to a bigger chart, try to see if anything makes sense, then wait for it to develop. Example Dec22. Might not happen during the day, but gives you a heads up about tomorrow. If you cant make sense, go to another pair or better yet, have a beer.
Best, Josh

I have posted this on Platform Tech thread, but I thought I better post it here as well as it could possibly be affecting some of you and you may not be aware.

Strange thing happening. If I did not have a 1hr chart open to monitor the HTFs I would not have noticed this.
On the attached image if you look at the price you will see that there is a 5 pip difference between the Renko charts and the Real time charts, the Range Bar chart shows the same price as the real time charts.
This happens "only" on currencies.
On the other Index CFDs GER30,US30 US500 etc prices match up
The problem is identical on Live and Demo
It happens with different Generators, I have tried 3 different Generators. Renko Chart Suite (EA) STG Renko Generator (indicator) Renkolivecharts_pimped v4.13 (EA)
Range Bar charts work perfectly as you can see from the image.
Metatrader version 1065 under Wine and version 1090 under Virtual Box running Windows 7 Ultimate.
The problem first manifested just before Xmas prior to that every thing was working fine.

Hi Dee. I have tried comparing my prices and I am unable to see a discrepancy you have described. I am using mt4 build 1090, win 7 64 Ultimate.

Indeed. Strange it happens with several builders. Particularly if one is expert, other indi. Sometimes, the only thing left to do is to delete mt4 and start over. Been there done that...just like my windows7. Works for a couple of years, then starts throwing fits...delete, reinstall, all well and happy.

looks like that some offline generaters use BID price to display value, others use ASK price (i guess 0.5 pip difference is your spread of EURUSD)

Yeah. May have to bite the bullet and go for a reinstall, although 2 different versions of MT4 running in 2 different environments with the identical problem, I am not looking forward to sorting this one out!

This manifested just before xmas prior to that every thing was fine, if the generators used bid or ask it would have been there from the start and I have been using them for a long time now, one of them for years. Some thing on my system must have changed but as I run MT4 in 2 different environments I am buggered if I know what.

Hello Dee, the problem you mention, I have watched too on my environment last week only on my laptop. I thought it was related to the hardware questions I made you all on the previous days.
I will tell you something on the next days. For the moment I have acquired an USB 3.0 wifi 5Ghz dongle (up to 433 Mbps) to use only with the MT4 traffic. And the older laptop wifi board (up to 72Mbps) it will be used by the Virtual Machine for work issues.
I have reduced the candle numbers, alerts through email, some indicators that I don't need, and reviewed the speed to the datacenter MT4 links to.
I still don't have a conclusion, may be mqlcache gets corrupted and there is to reinstall MT4.

Hi Francisquito. I have looked back at your post about speed problems. Close your Market Proflie chart and you will find things speed up, I experienced a similar problem on my old core duo and closing the Market Profile chart solved it. I only open Market profile to check levels and areas of singles then I close it, also, having MP set on the 15min chart increases the number of calculations it does, significantly, try using it on the 30min chart it uses less resources but even then I can not keep it running on my old core duo.
