Hi. YOU can have the charts to automatically display the high and low for the previous day, week, month, 2 hr, 4 hr, etc... by right clicking on the chart and from the menu choose the option "high low zone" and choose which high and low you want to see. You can then go to chart properties on the same menu and click on the "miscellenous" tab, go to the "high low zone" window and make sure that the "show" button is checked. You can also make this zone look filled, show values, and choose a different color for this zone if it helps you see it better. I hope this helps you. Aliks.

Well, I've decided to move to GFT's charts from MetaTrader for reasons I won't go into here.

I'm not a programmer, but managed to get MT4 to automatically draw lines for the previous day's high and low (as well as last week's and last month's) prices on the chart that I was viewing. I did this by finding an indicator that did something similar and modifying it to do what I wanted.

However, I can't figure out how to do it in Chart Studio, nor can I find an indicator to modify.

Can someone please help me learn how to have the chart automatically display yesterday's high and low prices?

Hopefully I can then modify it to show last week's and last month's as well.

TIA for your help.

Thanks for your help, but it doesn't display what I'm looking for.

For one thing, the High/Low numbers that are displayed do not correspond with the High and Low that show when I move the pointer over yesterday's candle.

Also, the lines follow the tops and bottoms of the candles on some timeframes instead of giving straight lines.

Mainly, though, I can only have one timeframe displayed at a time.

What I need is to have Daily, Weekly, and Monthly all on the same chart.

Hopefully someone can show me the code to display the Daily High and Low and I'll be able to modify it for the Weekly and Monthly.

Hello all GFT users,
since i was deciding between a few brokers, i decided to drop a post here about how GFT is? As i was reading, most of you are very much satisfied. So here is my question, are you guys doing technical trading or fundamental? The reason being i am for the most part a fundamental trader, with a few technical here and there. Also, does any of you have a mini account with them, and how has that been going?
Thanks for your time and reply.
Best Regards

Does anyone know how to write the code for On Balance Volume (OBV)? I don't even have an example code for it, but a friend told me that this is a really good indicator when used with a moving average. Please help.

I am looking for a ctl file for Dealbook 360 that produces the Fibonacci Expansion similar to this function in MT4:

http://www.metaquotes.net/techanalys...acci_expansion

dariuske wrote a recent file called ZIgZag that I hoped would do it but on trying it, it doesn't seem to match. Dealbook also has DiNapoli capability, but again, I don't think that is the same.

Anyone have a solution?

Thanks much,

Hi, everyone. Does anyone has the code for Ctl to build a template for the tunnel method profit taking levels? there is one for MT4, but I am no programer so I dont know how to change it to ctl. Its basically a template that shows you the fib levels to take your profits when using the Vegas Tunnel Method. thank you all.

I don't know if you ever this problem straightened out, but I had the same problem when I clicked "Protect Position". I couldn't change the box from OCO to anything else.

I mentioned this to my rep and he said it shouldn't happen like that and to let them know if it happens again.

So, contact your rep and tell him the problem. It's probably a glitch somewhere that they can fix quickly.

Hope this helps.

Hi everyone! Take a look at the attached gif.
I hope this helps:
The arrow is where you stand now. If you 'd like to place a LONG order either above or below to where you stand now, you will have to to follow the blue names of orders. If you go SHORT you will have to follow the red names.
Example: I am on EURUSD at a level of 1.3000 and I believe that prices will go higher so I say: If prices go to 1.3005 enter long there (with a StopBuy) with a Limit Sell (that is your exit profit) at 1.3040 and a StopSell (this is your stop loss) at 1.2990.
Parent is called the level that if reached the order is initiated.
Contigent is the O.C.O exit profit or stop loss - whichever comes first.

well, this thread has been inactive a while and it seems there are some people out there that know a lot more than me when it comes to coding...

can someone please help with a simple indicator for me, so that I can learn a bit about writing my own (for Dealbook 360 - Chart Studio)

i want it to simply place arrows on certain points across a chart.
swing points...

i want it to mark the bar/candle preceding two consecutive higher lows, and also mark the bar/candle preceding two consecutive lower highs...

any help would be appreciated....

As far as indicators are concerned, I believe there is a Yahoo group dedicated to dealbook.

As far as GFT as a broker, I have to say I never had an issue, except once.

As my T/P got blown through, and kept going, I panicked out of the trade....thus causing an opposite order. (No hedging is possible)(Keep in mind this was Febuary's Yen meltdown, speed was amazing.)

As I called in to find out what happened.....the opposite order was open. Turns out that when it says pending order, they WILL honor it, and it doens't always get back to you right away.

So end of story: I lost 12 pips on that second order, but they let me keep the 30 extra on the first one!

I needed micro-lots because I am a horrible trader, so I had to leave, and thats the only reason I left. As my trading gets better, I would definately consider coming back.

thanks for your reply

i'll have a search for that Yahoo group.

i have contacted GFT re: the imaginary spike.... it's been corrected on some timeframes, but not all as yet...

I just need to zoom in and move it around with the hand not the arrows otherwise everything looks really small because of the 2000 pip bar!

all the best with your trading.

I have used a broker which uses the GFT Dealbook platform.

I will tell you, and please listen.

GFT platform is THE WORST platform I have ever used

Let's say you buy EURUSD @ 1.3500.

Every single day they do a rollover.. let's say the price is now 1.3600. You are up +100 pips. But each day they do a rollover, they do an 'adjustment' in the account, and move your position every single day. So the price might now be 1.3600, but it shows you as only +9 - as they have moved your entry. The next day it might be 1.3650 (but reached 1.37) and it shows you as -23.

If you have multiple positions, you basically need a spreadsheet to keep track of WHERE your trades are.

Their account summary is not easy to follow, as each of these rollovers (every day) creates another entry.. so that 1 EURUSD position @ 1.3500 if you keep it awhile, takes a lot of room in the summary. The rollover doesn't distinguish between Interest received/paid either.

As another poster stated, their account summary is difficult to follow and the changing entry price is a pain.
That being said, the end results has always been correct for me.
To follow your position progress or lack of it just track the equity bar.
Overall I like them.

they will never let you exit a trade. the system will stall up to 4 to 5mins . if you are losing money executions are fast but once you start have a couple winning trades.. they will make it impossible to win your money back.

As far as I understand you can not do that yet on GFT. That would be like a paint bar or something similar used on Tradestation and other similar platforms.

Also, I would like to find out if someone can help me with a strategy that I have programmed in Chart studio, but it gives more entry points that I would like and also I would like to add to that strategy a pip exit target or a time target.
Thanks
