Peter,

I can certainly "pay" you in prayers!

Renasdad and others,

In yours and numerous FF references to the James16 thread, as we all know this thread is long. I've been trying to read it after work, and lately have been printing out pages to take with me to read. My question: Is there some way to save the entire thread, or portions of it to a thumb drive, so I could stick the drive in another computer and read it elsewhere? I'm not a tech, so I'm not clear on tech terms. I'd basically like to download the J16 thread for use away from my home computer

Thanks in advance,
Marcy
Marcy..........

I may be very wrong, but I thought I remember reading someplace here at FF that an entire thread could be downloaded for later us; I just can't remember where I read that.

Why not start a new thread in The Member's Lounge with a title that asks for specific help; something like, "Need Help Downloading a Thread". That will get extra attention and if my memory is not completely fried you will get the specific help you want. Just a suggestion.............

I use Firefox, But I'm sure IE has the same feature. Use the File/Save Page As option. You will need to rename it to something like 'James_Pg1.htm, etc. You can then use the File/Open File option to open it offline.
In trading, there is no bullshit. You either make money or you don't.

Peter,

Thanks for getting me started. This will be a weekend project for me. I went to mediafire and downloaded the J16 file, but only got the first page. Were there supposed to be more pages, and the ability to scroll through the thread? If so, I'll try downloading it again. Thanks so much for all your hard work. I can certainly "pay" you in prayers!

Marcy
It was only a sample of what could be done. Even that file size was big, but if you're saving it locally size wouldn't be a problem.

I need all the prayers you can spare

Thanks for all your help, Guys. I found the Internet Explorer File/Save option easiest for me. I have to save each page as a separate file but it's a big improvement over what I used to do: printing out pages (and it saves printer ink and trees :-)

I can't resist posting a link to an example PDF showing how Acrobat can save web pages with some added work. J16 PDF file. Just don't try to print it. Most of the links should work. If you are reading this more than a month after the posting date, the link will no longer be valid.

I'm new to trading, but I've figured out enough to know that I'd like to game scalp for a while. With that said, I'm now stuck with... I don't trade at the same times everyday, so what's volatile most often on a 5 second chart? Should I go with EUR/JPY - USD/JPY - EUR/USD...? and why? and what times are best to trade at with that pair? Thanks for all your help in advance!

In all seriousness, if you're new to trading, the best time to scalp is a few years from now.

My guess is that EVERY pair is volatile on a 5 second chart..................

I think that's the squirrel in the Geico commercial.

Getfreestuff,
I will be honest with you. That is a really dumb idea. It does get you to see how the market works though. 2 things I would suggest. 1. If you want to trade that way, do it in demo or you will give up really fast. 2. Get some sterroids so you look like that squirrel.
Actually, the best way to trade the way you want to trade is find a pair that isn't volatile at all. Find a pair that is in consolidation moving 25-30 pips up and down. Trade off the peaks and valleys.
If you are around in a 6 months or even less, you will most likely be trading off the 1 hr charts or even the daily charts.

I would really like to know if there is anyone that actually makes a living trading off the really short term charts like the 1 and 5 minutes. I highly doubt it.

Hello,

i sit here for 6 hours and study the metalanguage.
Now i write my first testindicator to see if i understand it

But sry, i don`t do it

Can anyone say me what`s wrong with my code? pls not only a code, tell me what i do false...

What i want to do with my Code:
If the current Close of Bar and the Bar before and one Bar before is allways (Close > Open) then the drawline must be 1... if 3 bars (Close < Open) then drawline must be -1... if nothing of them... drawline must be a 0... that`s all

Post your question in the Metatrader Forum, that's where the coders are http://www.forexfactory.com/forumdisplay.php?f=69

Hello Nixfreizeit,
Your indicator seems to be working fine. It shows three bullish/bearish candles in a row for me.
Maybe you just want to add a "else Baranzahl[i] = 0;" line at the end, so that the 0 line is drawn too.

Linuxtroll. Rainbow scalping. Works good for a couple of people I know. They just use different pairs. I guess I'm in the wrong place to ask this question.

There are a few profitable traders here using short term charts. But the ones who are doing it successfully are seasoned traders who have worked very hard to learn, and still work very hard to execute their methods. Almost everyone starting out in Forex is lured into taking a crack at scalping, myself included. The smaller targets seem more easily attainable which is simply not the case. The spreads alone tip the odds further out of favor.

Very few, if any, beat the learning curve in this. You're not in the wrong place to ask. Perhaps you're in the wrong place to get the answer you want to hear.

When I started looking into forex, I used the tick charts to make my demo trades. That is where the action was. Things were fast. That is what new people want in forex is the fast dollar. That is why 95% give up. I don't even want to think about trading off the short term charts like that anymore. It would be way too strenuous. I would be grey by 30 yrs old if that is how I trade.
I don't want to keep you from doing what you want though. Who know's it may suit you well and you could do it. I just like the idea of making one trade that equals 200 of those scalping trades.
If you want to trade off tick/short term charts, go for it. Follow what you want. I would suggest looking into the longerterm charts to trade.
