Hello

bk can you please add historic chart for jpy GDP ? thanks

I have been very negligent in updating many of the Historic Charts primarily due to several occassions when I wanted to update them, FXCM charts is screwed instead.

I am looking for ways to use MT4 charts/data feeds instead. Currently, trying to write a software that would fetch data from MT4 HST files and form a chart from it. If that is successful, it would be a lot easier to update historic charts.

thanks for the update BK.

for a while we were linking your chart threads to the calendar events. we are still linking the ones that have been updated recently, and when you get back into the swing of things we will link them all. just telling you this so you know your work is appriciated and is being put to good use

Does anyone know the MT4's HST file format?

ie, I want to extract the Date/Time, High, Low, Open, Close prices directly from an MT4 broker's data instead of FXCM.

I appreciate if anyone could shed some light into this file format.

Hi, BK can you please help me? I have used your burger straddle script on demo, butr want to trade live now, but it only allows me to trade 0.5 lots. Where can I purchase your script for live trading?

Hi guys, is there anyone who has hisorical charts or excel statistic for SP 500 around the US Economic Reports releases ? Thank you

I finally got the time to work on extracting info from MT4's hst files.

as I was converting them to jpg files, I realized that my converter is not optimized enough to be stored in small files... any programmers out there who knows perl/php and jpg/gif modules? my jpg module is a file hog. A small 600x300 jpg cost 100KB+?!!! thats crazy


btw. thus far I only know of alpari that distributes archives for several currency pairs.. i plan to use them to extract historic charts in the near future. any comment about the reliability of their data?

hi man

where do get those chart .

andddddddddddd

how can i get them ( time to time by myself)


thanks

BK I appreciate this thread very much. Thank you for what you do.

I would like to offer a suggestion. Could we see GBPJPY charts during US numbers as well? The reason for this is during US releases we'll see S&P move in one direction and typically we see GBPJPY move in tandem as carry trades and equities mimic each other in response to US news. I've traded the GBPJPY after news a couple times and the pip potential is greater than anything available. For those that are not interested in wide spreads and rapid movements the EURJPY is more mild.

If I can be of assistance please let me know.

hello

I cant find charts for cad gdp news, do you have charts for this news too ?

Does Anybody have a broker comparison as to performance of getting you in during the volatile news release time ?
.
I was being raked over the coals by “Forex.com” they would get me in at the last part of the spike . . .

Thanks for any input

However,
nowadays there is no broker ready to guarrantee fills of our dreams, unless they are fools or cons;

only orders with properly set limits can help, with "no fill" risk of course;
it is much better to loss occasion than money I suppose!

hello bk,

can you please add "cad gdp" news charts too, thanks

cad gdp and aud gdp chart is missing, i wish they add too .

I am almost finished with my "new" Historic Chart system. Currently, I am using Alpari's databank to retrieve past charts. However, I noticed several problems with Alpari's chart: Alpari have bad "time keeping". Several candles are off by as much as 1 full minute! ie, a 8:30 candle would appear either as 8:29 or 8:31!

I appreciate if anyone could provide a better data for the following major currency pairs in any format (either in MT4's HST or xls).

AUDUSD
EURUSD
GBPUSD
NZDUSD
USDCAD
USDJPY
