{quote} Thanks, I guess i'll have to be a lot more patient! By the way, from what I have read so far we have to wait until candle closure before placing a trade? so you place trades every 4 hours? Cheers
Always wait for 4H candle close.Than you can place trade or go to smaller TF to cherry pick entry in case of some pullback. Personally, I scalp 1 and 5M between 4 HR candles,because I do only trading.Today 4 trades 89.70 pips on cable and footsie.

{quote} I'm not sure I agree with this. There are loads of signals on the H4, and you can always backtest using live charts if not, or you just want more signals to try. In my view all demo trading should mimic real money trading as closely as possible, which means that any system designed for longer timeframes should only be demo'd on longer timeframes. Just my thoughts anyway.
David,maybe you misunderstood me.I didn't say use system on lower TF.

{quote} ............... Maybe I'd suggest to go to 30M or even 15M TM to learn. Candles are moving same way only faster and on real account smaller SL and capital is needed.
So one can learn,how candles are moving.Even if this system seems to be mechanical it good thing to apply some PA knowledge,and you can watch lower TF to learn it.

I know that, I think you misunderstood me on this one I was saying that I don't think it's a good idea to learn on lower timeframes since I think training should be as close to real world conditions as possible.

In my opinion this isn't just reading charts, it's psychology and emotion. It's not just about what the charts look like, it's about learning good habits and control. Trading lower timeframes with a system designed for higher timeframes is a bad habit. Learning when to sit at your machine, what times are best to trade this particular strategy, what times not to trade, learning patience and selectiveness, these are good habits which you won't get from the lower timeframes.

Additionally, learning how the particular currency/currencies act in the specific timeframe you plan to trade it is also important. Being impatient and looking at lower timeframes simply for more 'learning opportunities', also takes this away.

There are loads of 4H signals, so why bother learning bad habits on the lower ones?

You put all that together so beautifully, personally having experienced more than one crash landing, I choose to look very closed at where daily, weekly and monthly are positioned, and will only play the smaller for entry and exits when I have screen time and that's generally around market openings and red news. my nine pence worth from down under.

Well put David, comments like these are what differentiates someone who hits their targets and/or makes a profit to one who doesn't. A deeper understanding beyond the RH method is a necessity, "tailor it to suit you". You have to be improving every single day, learning and knowing something more today than you did yesterday about the market or your plan. There is still so much to learn but every new thing one learns about the market conditions they are exposed to combats the probability factor and betters that risk to reward ratio. Improve every single day. Even just 1 chapter in a book.

I am new to all this but I’ve never used an EA yet while being away from my computer. So my question is if I turn on an EA before leaving for work and then shutdown my laptop will the EA continue to work or does mt4 have to be running? Also if it does have to be running are there any ways around this?

Yah it needs MT4 to be running. One option is a VPS service (not free) or you setup a small PC or laptop at home running MT4. I believe you can also do it with raspberry pi micro pc.

But if you do this, you must have reliable electrical service and a reliable Internet service provider. If either of them go down, your EA is down.

As mentioned above the best advice is to run an EA on a good commercial VPS, running it on your home PC or laptop is fine for testing, but it must always be on, connected to the internet, with MT4 running.

Mine does not look like his at all. After a great start I had a terrible week losing around 7% of my account balance. It was a good week for learning though, and like the rest of life there will also be decent upswings. So no worries here
