Hi Cobra,
i just attached some screens about what i understand are the entry points you explained (blue sharps)
If so, i do not understand the reason of OsMA indicator and what is it needed for?

Thanks

I need feedback. All users please post if the just posted SDX-TzPivots_v3.1 is running fine. When we can conclude all is ok, then I will post v4.
Looks good till now but want to wait till 00:00 of my brokers time.
One thing, the vertical seperators show "text" instead of "today" and ÿesterday" (vleveltext).

That's why I took the OsMA off in the V1 updated template. The release of the last update is in post #448

I copied one of your charts and added some comments, the perfect entry was after retesting and break of previous high

First off I have to admit that I have not read every post here (yet ), so appologies if this has already been mentioned. But ...

Has anybody else noticed what happens when the Heiken Ashi travels from one side of the Ichimoku cloud to the other in a single bar? I've been looking at this only on the M1 chart so far, but it is kind of interesting.

Yes, sometimes there is a delay in the appearance of the Period labels.....coding?.......MT4 speed? .....connection speed? Sometimes they appear instantly, too. Frankly, it would be better if these two labels just appeared at top of screen, centered on the lines. But I have not figured out how to convert to the "x AND YOBJECT_DISTANCE" functions from the "startofday and vtextlevel" functions. This will take a better coder than myself, I think.

Right now I am ready to post upgrade with some cosmetic enhancements, but I will wait until we know the "problems" spoken of these last two days are gone.

A little bit off-topic but I would really appreciate an answer...
Is any of you who trade (demo or live) at FxPro having problems to open trades and with the platform itself? Graphics are extremely slow, mouse focus on the windows is also lagging, trade placing is constantly giving invalid prices and "common error" if I want to open a trade (market or limit/stop), this is maybe because of the constant change of the spread (at least every second, which could make difficult to have the exact price) but this started at about the middle of the NY session, I didn't have any problems in Asia or Europe and did many range trades but the platform was already very slow and almost impossible to draw lines and fibs and etc... I have tested on another installation I have and it's the same.
Thank you and sorry for the off-topic...

No off topic, everything related on trading is wellcome

I have FxPro but for charts only, I don't trade MT4. Let me take some demo trades and I will give you the result later.

Do you Mean ATC FX Pro? They are introducing brokers for HOTSPOTFX. If you are referring to them, I too, have had serious issues with the invalid prices. I spoke with HOTSPOT and told them that I want to trade on there platform and chart with ATC...

In terms of spread, I think they are the tightest...speak with them and ask them if you should call HOTSPOTFX...they are having connectivity issues...

What I meant to say is that HOTSPOTFX has its own propreitary software for trading. They are a real ECN; however, they do not offer MT4...so they allowed ATC to take their feeds and market it under MT4...they spreads are exactly the same in both MT4 and on HOTSPOT....

I remember reading a post by cobra suggesting that in the 1 min chart the settings for trix should be .0003 abd -.0003

and that on all higher time frames it should be .0005 and -.0005

is that correct or should we leave .0005 at all timeframes?

Yes, I see the same problem on FxPro, the same errors, the spread changes between 0.8 and 1.8 mostly. I have set a deviation of 3 pips and it’s the same thing.
The platform performs slower than ODL and I have only 4 templates without any difficult calculations on it.
Hope that helps.

For 1M set it to 0.0003

With having 5 decimal points the spread is never constant but varies tick by tick from about 0.8 to. 1.8

Thanks so much, yes the spread changes very fast... however (except for one or two requotes) I don't see that problem as heavy on the demo and the windows move normally (the video movement doesn't lag). The strange thing is that until about 9am I was having no issues and had been trading ranges "scalping" (BTW this platform issue made me lose perspective on what I wanted to comment on THV, especially the T3 TRIX is awesome! I am still using the OsMA on my template because I like it. And using M1 I was able to take 13 trades (all longs of course, as I was testing this live I didn't want to risk taking shorts) from Asia into USA sessions entering as soon as the T3 Trix crossed and OsMA changed color (I know, it's not the actual system but I find that indicator useful...) watching the higher TFs to gauge continuation, and the entries and exits were absolutely accurate. I don't know if today's Asia range was particularly easy to trade but I could appreciate that the crossing of the T3 TRIX was almost on time with the signal entries of the "system" I use...

Don't try this at home, LOL. Just wanted to share this because maybe it is useful.

You could have taken a trade on the first signal (I did so) but taking in account that previous highs, that formed a small resistance and may bounce back a bit before breaking it. That was the case. If you would jump out on that trade because price crossed aqua T3 you would have lost valued pips on the continuation of the trend.

I took the trade at that point and switched to 5M and let it run, a 200+ pips journey.

The chart shows the entry point on 5M, triggering it at 1M I was getting some more pips. You see the beautiful long 5m candles that showed us that the trend was pretty strong.

Btw: that was the only trade that I took till now today on E/U.

I’m scalping the E/Y at the moment but changed the hull to 40 to get better entries on that particular pair (not on E/U)

the spread changes between 0.8 and 1.8 mostly. I have set a deviation of 3 pips and it’s the same thing.
BTW: the spread thing is not an error, they have changed since yesterday and are offering floating spread. They used to have a fixed spread of 1.8 and now it oscillates between 0.5 and 2.0. Will be very difficult to trade on volatile sessions unless through setting stop and limit positions... in Asia I didn't have any problem opening the trades, even with the lag situation.

On the other hand, if you set a deviation of 3 pips on FxPro you are indeed setting a 3 pipettes deviation... you should state "30" for 3 actual pips (same as for the trailing stops, etc..)

Yeah, I didn’t take in account that they work with 5 digits after the dot.

There you notice that I don’t trade MT4, lol.

In ACM and FxSol I have lightning fast one click execution that is useful on scalping.

I don't see it as an issue as it has nothing to do with the real functionallity of the Pivot indicator, was just an observation.
Will let you know what happens at Brokers new close/open later.
