What does the increase/decrease of tick volume on consecutive bars mean? What does the increase/decrease of candle range on consecutive bars mean? Suppose on 1hr candles. And, are there any other number based factors that can influence price?
I would use Google to find material on VSA (volume spread analysis) -- there's a book Master the Markets by Tom Williams, that's particularly idea-rich. Also volume profiling (e.g. here), and Don Pato's volume threads here and here.

As far as I know, there are no number based factors that influence price, with the possible exception of anything that might cause heavyweight traders to place orders at/near certain levels (round numbers, fibo or pivot levels, 200 EMA, etc). But there are more accurate entries using techniques like FXcyborg's, wmd's, and anything orderflow-related that maps into trader reasoning and behavior (e.g. here).

Just my 2c......... albeit as a programmer, rather than a serious trader.

I'm sorry, but I no longer code EA requests. Please see the 'MT4 programming' section in post #1 for more info, and some possible alternatives.

You can just provide your feedback on the ideas.

That is all is my request.

The last sentence in your post reads "I am sure this FF has a lot of coders who might be able to create EAs for elderly traders." Sorry if I misunderstood. I get requests to code EAs all the time.

Are you referring to Daily LinesBoxes? If so, there are so many versions of this indicator scattered around everywhere that I've lost track of which ones work and which don't. The attached is the latest version that I have on my work computer. It compiles without errors, without the need for any .mqh library files, but there may be later versions elsewhere.

Dear MT4 Coders, How are you all? Hope everything is going well.....
I see that you've already posted this request in the "I code your indicators for free" thread.

I appreciate that your intentions are genuine, but this thread is about the Daily Lines/Boxes indicator. Personally I don't care, but for other members who go there to try to find information about this indicator, you're making their task more difficult by cluttering it with lengthy off-topic posts. Hence I have disliked your posts there to hide them from view.

There's no point in spamming the forum. If programmers see your request in the "I code your indicators for free" thread and decide not to help for whatever reason, then posting it elsewhere is unlikely to cause them to change their minds. Most programmers won't work with decompiled code, and a lot of us don't see any point in modifying repainting indicators (and also EAs that involve dodgy ideas like grids or martingales) either, for reasons that are hopefully obvious.

If you spam the forum, especially with requests using large or colored fonts, and ingratiating comments, you risk creating the impression that you believe you're more important than everybody else, which some folk might find annoying. If you want coders to show more interest, then provide some convincing evidence demonstrating how your ideas can be used profitably. No offense to anybody, but if an idea is unprofitable — which the vast majority are — then coding it is a waste of time for everybody involved.

Greetings Hanover
No offense.
To better clarify. I just posted it more than once, because I thought to post it to coders who may not
see it.

Actually, Im not familiar with spamming, other than spam callers calling trying to sell something with an automated
robot doing the sale's pitch, which I don't spam nor enjoy being spammed by spam callers trying to sell something.

I use colors, because it's available among other features: font size, bold, iltalic, underline, etc. etc. so that's just
the options provided, and being available, which is just commonsense no one is prevented from using those options provided by the administrators.

Lengthy post, I've seen some way more lengthy

Interferring with your post specifically, which I didn't know you felt that way, and had I known I respectfully
wouldn't have done it, because I like harmony.

It's some coders who will code for different reasons just as some who won't for different reasons, so that statement is always relative based on the absolute law of relativity

What's beneficial to someone may not be beneficial to someone else, which is relative depending on what strategy a person prefers to use, which everyone has a right to choose for themselves, having freewill.

So, really what made the most commonsense was that you prefer not to have a different subject in any of your post you start, which now that you are mentioning that, that's really no problem for me to respect at all....I don't mind complying
because I like harmony, and that daily_line indicator is amazing!!! That's actually one of my favorite indicators....

I don't think Im better than anyone else, I make mistakes like anyone else. A person has to be the best at everything to be better than anyone in everything. And it's no earthling to fit those shoes that I honestly know of.

I wish you the best always
Just a misunderstanding from different perspectives, that's all
Its always good to get clarity, to bring harmony in understanding
Because we all have strengths and weaknesses: you, me, there are no exceptions.
So, I didn't mean to post in your post, I didn't know you didn't approve of that. I won't do that again, no problem.

I do hope you stay safe and healthy always and best wishes trading always.

Hello sir,

No offense taken. Thanks for taking the time to explain, and for your consideration.

I agree that each individual must develop a strategy that they are personally comfortable with. I get too many programming requests, there is not enough time to look at all of them, hence I'm forced to overlook those that in my opinion aren't helpful to me personally. I'm getting older now, and after 40+ years of sitting in front computers writing and testing all sorts of software, I find that my eyes become tired and sore more quickly nowadays.

Clarity and harmony are worthwhile objectives imho.
I likewise wish you good health, prosperity and much happiness.

My good friend Hanover,

I totally know how you feel,
I'm going on 50, and years fly by so fast: "It's like you look up from being on the computer and 2 years have gone by."

I wish I could put a protection screen between me and my computer monitor like they have in the stores between us and the cashier [ to block the radiation from the monitor damaging my eyes ], besides having to sit too close to any monitor just to see it [ and looking for pips makes it even worse and more tedious], which will make all manual traders lose more of our sight slowly but surely.

I wish we didn't have to trade or struggle to survive. I didn't take an interest in trading until 2 years ago. I wish I had
started 10 years ago.
I would've retired and made an EA to scalp the market for 5 pips: "Aiming for 50 pips a day, and say keep the rest, I'm done for the day."
And say the heck with sitting in front of this darn computer trading losing my eyesight. I end up buying some Lutein and Billbery which is good for the eyes [It is that serious . . . I know how you feel ]

Sometimes I look at the forex charts and want to say: "You getting on my nerves . . . and then I suddenly feel better after I make the pips I hope to get," making Forex that perfect love one minute & hate one minute relationship.

The real scarry part is if they don't open the economy across the US before the year is out, hopefully they will, but if not: "The USD will crash," and then all the "USD crashed pairs" will cause a domino effect of those adjacent currencies to decline and eventually collapse....

And human race will either come to our senses <or> most will go mad from being just another number literally in a computerized system. Which ain't no civilian prepared for, it's going to be the test for people's patience and logic..

These are prophetical end times in the making.

Covid 19 got everybody stressed /
Yet allowing us all the time to get well needed rest /
And all we can do...is try to do our best

Bless you and your family, I hope you all are safe . . . and we all are "distant, distant, distant, distantly related somewhere." So, we are ALL one family, the human family, and all families are dysfunctional in a way, but we are still family through the ups and downs.

Just want to say DIVINE LOVE to you and yours David, which means: "The Beloved."
Best wishes always

You are talking my case...One of the reason I did early retirement recently - "I find that my eyes become tired and sore more quickly nowadays." plus newbies younger than my son's age getting all the attention from top bosses while oldies like me who built company are treated as 2nd citizen.

We had our time.

Greetings this morning noble BlueRain & noble Hanover,

It's funny, yet all so very common, that we all have similar experiences with our "eye health" as we age.

I'm not a specialist, and this is just for educational purposes only in true concern for the well being of others like myself.

So, I thought to google vitamins, nutrients, and herbs for daily help in the maintaining better "eye health."

It's always good to do more research just to get a further insight on key vitamins & minerals that our bodies need daily.

Its also suggested to consult your physician, if your are taking any medicine before taking any extra supplements or herbals.

This is just something I googled. The only ones I haven't used in the past are Zeaxanthin, eyebright, and saffron,
however, the rest of them I have. I feel better when I take vitamins, minerals, and herbs.

Here are 9 key vitamins and nutrients and various herbs that help maintain "eye health."

  1. Vitamin A. Vitamin A plays a crucial role in vision by maintaining a clear cornea, which is the outside covering of your eye. ...
  2. Vitamin E. ...
  3. Vitamin C. ...
  4. Vitamins B6, B9 and B12. ...
  5. Riboflavin. ...
  6. Niacin. ...
  7. Lutein and Zeaxanthin. ...
  8. Omega-3 Fatty Acids.

  1. Eyebright: This herb helps soothe itchy eyes and conjunctivitis. It has been used for a long time in Europe.
  2. Gingko Biloba: This herb can reduce the risks of glaucoma and macular degeneration by acting as a cerebro-spinal dilator.
  3. Fennel: Fennel is said to be particularly helpful for watery and inflamed eyes. Apart from these mild conditions, Fennel can also be used to treat cataracts and glaucoma.
  4. Saffron: Saffron, a kitchen herb, like fennel is also used to treat cataracts. Furthermore, it can also delay degeneration of eyesight among elderly people.
  5. Bilberries: The benefits of these berries were discovered by British pilots in World War II. They said that they helped their night vision. Bilberries help blood circulation in the smallest of capillaries. They also contain anthocyanosides which help the eye adjust to various levels of light.
  6. Green tea: Apart from its famous antioxidant properties and benefits for weight loss, green tea also helps in reducing dark circles and puffiness around the eyes.
  7. Turmeric: Turmeric is famous enough for its antiseptic properties. But it also helps reduce the oxidation of the eye lens, something which is the cause of many eye problems.
  8. Grapeseed: The extract of this seed is rich in phytochemicals which are good for the eyes. It also has antihistamine and antioxidant properties which are good for the all-round health of the eyes.
  9. Goldenseal: Goldenseal, is used as a cure for mild irritating conditions caused by allergies like trachoma.

I try to eat healthier as I've gotten older, I treat myself to a "healthy snack" every no and then, but I strictly avoid junk highly acidic food, and trying to keep my pH balanced around 7.0 to 7.4 by eating healthier.

It's plenty of more wonderful research online, including YouTube videos, to help go more in depth of various benefits.
I wish all the best.

Best wishes in eye health when trading
due to the fact we have to stare
at the tiny candlesticks and indicators.

Best wishes always
LivingSoul

Aside from the facts you well explained,i think younger age,a pretty attractive lady to see,an confirmed perfect strategy with high earning ratio and a clear/cleaned environment from corona will help us to compromise with our current eye status (though i tried to minimize wishes list) -

Someone like yourself who is a seasoned vet. I totally respect what you do and who you are to this community.....so I value your input. May I please ask you, what approaches/strategies do you trade Live with your own "savings" as you put it. I would love to be able to pick your brain a little bit as to what you find to be a good/profitable strategy. I obviously don't expect you to "teach" anything, just point me (us) in the right direction.
Hello sir,

Many thanks for your kind words. I'll reply here so as not to disrupt Laura's thread. A little about my background, and past experiences, to put what follows in some kind of context:

Please keep in mind that I'm a (semi-)retired programmer, not a serious trader. However, I've worked with various traders (stocks and CFDs 2001-2006; fx from 2006 until now) and paid for courses and to attend workshops run by some experienced institutional traders. I've also tested a number of different TA and FA based approaches and have run a couple of small accounts. I've enjoyed the time that I spent tinkering with both automated and discretionary approaches. Software development has been my career since I left high school in 1979, and since discovering MT4 in 2007 I've written more than 400 indicators and 50 EAs. I've shared a few of the indicators here on Platform Tech, but not too many EAs as there's significant risk of piracy.

In Jan 2015 I lost $4k when Alpari UK went broke, and I didn't even have any positions open at the time. A friend of mine lost $180k when Halifax likewise went into receivership. From this I learned that all money deposited with the broker is ultimately at risk, regardless of whether you have a profitable strategy or not, regardless of how much or how often you trade, and regardless of how well you manage positional risk. Last year I also reduced my trading involvement because it was becoming difficult to maintain enthusiasm, being up or down only a few dollars each week. Also I was getting eyestrain and headaches from the long hours spent in front of the computer. I'm getting older now and there are other projects that I'd like to devote an increasing amount of time to.

Here is an index to a number of my earlier posts, summarizing much of what I've learned in my 13 years of fx, along with links to the indicators I've shared, and to a miscellany of other info that I've found useful. I also posted links to some of the techniques I was using here.

Good luck, I wish you much success.

David

I've tended to stay with horizontal S/R, although that's probably because the traders I've worked with have taken me down that path. There's a good post (imho) about trendlines here.

Yes I have read this and it is true what is written. Michael S jenkins have discuss why trendlines always work and he said it is because when a trendline is being hit there is a correlation of Time and Price happening which is the true purpose of the market.
