Flying Dutchman

Hi turnip,

Cheers pal.

And without promising one damn thing lol (as it's a minefield out there ),
but if I can hold together & just wait until I see their final committment to completing the project then
I can sometimes find a final 10 pips or so (?) towards their end target.

Sometimes I trade "ugly" to get it too & I will also often close just before the actual final hit, but that's just me and my defensive play in the markets .
So no guarantees pal.

Put up a template or two on your TradView Simulator and run some days from the past during "your usual" trading session times and just see what pops up.
Better maybe than jumping in straight away with live trading to start with, as you filter out false signals AND flip-overs which can occur during news releases.

All the best sir

Cheers folks, appreciated.
Okay here are two testing Simulators BUT

For MT4 charters only, sorry.


These simulators CAN be used on the weekends also when the markets are closed.

For myself, it was a way I could SHORTEN my market study by running a tick-by-tick Simulator across past days. (NOT a candle-by-candle pretend simulator like just using the F11 stepping approach for example)


The tick-by-tick approach allows us to see the delta of each candle change during its growth right to candle close (on ANY timeframe you select).
I started with a 15m chart but more recently had another look on a 1hr chart and the delta changes during THAT 1hr candle explained extra to me about what the 15m changeovers meant.

I still prefer the 15m to see the peaks, troughs & triangles though.

(You can simulate on the 1min of course but it doesn’t allow you to change timeframe mid-testing so I lost the fuller perspective of where price was in the bigger picture, and I didn’t get to see the Swing Targets to the left that the market chases - so I suggest starting on a 15m chart before then going higher or lower).

Plus during the simulator operation you can pause. And then switch over templates also. Test as many templates as you wish at the same testing time.

The benefit I found from template switching was that once I could observe the process of how the market runs its many targets, over and over, that in the end the template was less important than the market process itself. By that I mean that ANY of the 10,000 thread systems & methods could possibly be used within the market process to achieve similar results. Sounds strange eh, all system templates might have imo the same success OR FAILURE rate which leaves the only variable likely as …. US/The Trader.


Okay, for Training Purposes only
The first Simulator I saw (and there must be MANY others out there) was


You can use this one free on ALL or any pairs, indices, metals etc

https://www.mql5.com/en/code/9220?ut...ce=mt4terminal


Setting up the simulator

Install it in your Experts folder.
After install and restart open an MT4 chart and use Ctrl-T and Ctrl-R to show the simulator screen.

“Select the Training2 downloaded expert advisor from the list of drop downs”
“Choose a symbol of your favourite PAIR”
“Choose the slowest model operation EVERY TICK to begin with”
“In the Use Date choose any time from the past (eg 3 months ago or earlier)” and the end date at now if you wish (or any other date after the begin date)
“Tick Visual Mode but do NOT tick Optimization”



The next one I have seen (among many others out there, I guess) can ONLY be used free on
GBPUSD
But what a great pair to test it on imo.

In fact you likely only need one pair to observe what the market process is as
ALL pairs, indices etc would seem to operate to this same market process.

THIS simulator also allows you to start ENTERING TRADES by your choice of Lot Size on a set $10,000 a/c

You could download this one for GU free if you wish from FF here, I believe the free demo is still available though listed about six years ago.

The SETUP again in your Experts Folder will be the same on mt4 as the setup on training2.exe above

It’s the weekend now.
Live trading is over for currencies.

Why not try and test a simulator for a few hours over the weekend.
What can you lose other than time.

Trade safe, trade well folks
(NO day review chart for GJ lol. But you know it would just look the same as the others anyway )

Perhaps a forex scene from the New York Open


(actually it's up near Wessel Island in the Northern Territory)
(come visit Aus for some swimming & sun - just dont do it after dusk maybe lol )
